This is what $200 worth of Ecuadorian roses looks like...I have to admit I'm feeling a little intimidated now that they are here!

They have to stay wrapped in cardboard for at least 4 hours but I can't wait to see what they look like when I unwrap them.

These are the centerpiece flowers btw.

I don't know how you're not ripping the cardboard off of those gorgeous roses! I don't think I'd be that patient ;)

I remember how excited I was when I got my fiftyflowers.com delivery!

My tip: don't throw away the box they came in yet-- it's perfect for throwing in all the stems/leaves that you'll be stripping shortly.

A tip for anyone else who is ordering-- these plastic flower-shaped strippers are the best, and made the thorn/leaf stripping SO fast and easy for my roses: http://www.afloral.com/Floral-Supplies/Tools-Floral-Wire-Grapevine-Wreaths/3-Pack-Plastic-Rose-Stripper

I also bought those little metal gripping strippers, but these made it SO much quicker, and protected my hands as well. The metal ones were hard on your hands after a while, and took longer to get around the stems.

I am going to be a fiftyflowers bride as well. Please share with us your experience. What worked. What didn't. Would you do it again?

Thanks
