We ordered the 17 piece white package from Sam's and they were beautiful. Just follow the instructions for delivery and keeping them fresh and you'll be fine.

@smyley: I saw that, it looks like a great deal! I want red roses, so I think our coordinator is going to arrange them herself. How far in advance did you have them delivered?
I did just over a week ago. I bought 300 carnations. A few of them happened to be broken and the orange carnations didn't happen to be as big and full as the pink. However, overall I loved them. They all looked great and everyone seemed to think I did a great job.
I am going to order the "Earth Tone" collection from Sam's. I'm super excited to see other's had a positive experience.

@smyley: How far in advance did you order? I'm trying to figure out the logistics of everything.
@FranksMama: That looks very pretty! I really like the colors. We looked at the premade collections but nothing suited the number of peopole in our bridal party.
@Nola: Did you do the arrangements yourself? How long did it take?
I've been stalking their reviews and I think I'm going to order from Sam's. The prices seem very reasonable compared to the quotes I've gotten from florists!
I ordered 400 roses from sams for my March 5 wedding. I really could not have been happier with them. Just remember you arent a florist and most likely your "vision" is probably pictures and bouquets that floristsput together. So if you keep your vision realistic you'll be fine. Our wedding was saturday evening. The roses were shipped to my house Wed and got there about 9 a.m. I had already set up all the buckets (i just got like 10 lowes big buckets) filled them with food and water. Follow the directions on sams website... and it will be fine. I saved a ton of money and did my centerpieces and bouquets. Just look on youtube on how to's..
We did our centierpieces on thursday.... it would have been too crazy busy to do them on friday... we also ended up doing the bouquets but not cutting the ends off until the DAY of the wedding.
I purchased the rubbery de thorners and the metal ones.. i liked the rubbery ones better.
Hope this helps

My florists were two women who had started a small business and they bought bulk Sams club flowers. They were gorgeous. I guess it just depends on what you can do with them.
I've ordered bulk roses and hydrangeas in the past from Costco for an event- not their wedding package, just the flowers. They were beautiful.
So beautiful that I am planning on doing the same thing for my wedding centerpieces- I'm having my bouquets professionally done, but am DIYing all the other flowers to match using costco flowers.
I just placed my order yesterday, requested deliver 4/28 for our 4/30 wedding. I'm keeping it simple I just ordered hydrangea and babys breath. I'll post a review after the wedding.
@adw2c: My planner suggested it, and it sounds like a great idea. I think it will save a lot of money!
@nkbridemarch: Do you have any photos? I'd love to see! I'm hoping since I just want plain red rose bouquets, they won't look too "amateur." We are also planning on ordering 400 roses, so I'm curious to see what you did with them!
@FutureMrs.Taylor: @MiJuneBee: If anyone has any pictures, please share! I'm searching for as much diy flower inspiration as I can find.
Thanks Bees for your help! :)
@missrobots: I hope it turns out well for you! I'll look out for your review.
@FutureMrs.Taylor: Your bouquet is gorgeous!
i ordered bulk from sams! here are my flowers - i liked them alot! and i would highly suggest ordering bulk from them
@totheislnds: It looks beautiful! That bouquet is just like what I want. Did you arrange it yourself?
@nkbridemarch:many thanks for the all the tips. We are planning or ordering through Sams or Costco too.
I had never even thought of doing this until I saw this post! Thank you soooo much! I'll probably end up using this for my flowers too! Everything around here is incredibly expensive, and it seems like Sam's is a fantastic option.
Thanks for sharing the Sam's/Costco option for flowers. I will include them on my list!
I ordered the 75 light pink roses for delivery on Thursday for my Sat wedding and Boy, was I glad I opted for Thursday instead of Friday... they sent hot pink ones accidentally. I called and they had the light pink ones delivered Friday and they looked great. We pulled the petals off of about 20 of them the morning of the wedding (and they yeilded A LOT of petals), we had put out about 10 vases full of the flowers the night before for the rehearsal dinner, sprinkled the petals at the wedding down the aisle, and had a bunch extra (grabbed the vases from the night before) and put them at the gift table, the guestbook table, in the dressing suite etc. All together, one night and all day and night of pretty flowers and petals for around $120. I would NEVER spend the $50 or so dollars EACH for centerpieces... that is what mason jars with daisies are for... or mismatched candle sticks or cupcake towers are for...we would have spent over $1000 on flowers but instead used the $1000 for a photobooth which everyone remembers way more than the flowers!

We are semi-DIYing our flowers; to stay on budget our DOC is going to be making our bouquets, bouts, and centerpieces. We are planning on ordering bulk floral to cut costs on a florists. Do any of you have experience with bulk floral from Sam's Club, Costco, or anywhere else? How did it turn out? Do you have any advice based on what did or did not work?
We are doing a trial for everything in a couple months and want to get our floral budget figured out, so any advice you have would really help us out!
