I bought roses from WholeBlossoms.com for my sister’s wedding and after shopping around in places where they sell premium wholesale flowers, WholeBlossoms.com was the cheapest and the flowers were beautiful. They have excellent quality. Now I am getting married and I will buy from WholeBlossoms.com again because for me quality is more important than price. If you are buying flowers for the most special day in your life, you may want to consider getting high quality product even though you have to spend a few cents more in your order.

I want to help prevent any other brides from going through the terrible experience i had with wholeblossoms.com.  I had to buy flowers from the grocery store because I had ordered all my flowers from them.  The calla lilies were the wrong color.  Bright yellow instead of orange.  The garden roses were tiny, wilted and drooped right out of the box.  And after returning the lilies the same day they came (a hassle) and then a day later getting the ugly roses (called and had to leave a message no call until the next day) I was in tears.  Service was awful.  I finally spoke with Stewart who said that he would give my money back.  A month later "Stewart" no longer works there and I was told to call Columbia to talk to a supervisor (not toll free).  I filed a complaint with the BBB.

I just got done with my wedding and flowers from wholeblossoms. Everything turned out perfect. Ordered over a couple grand worth of flowers and got garden roses too which were wilted. Wholeblossoms told me to give them a day and sure enough, they perked up the next day. FedEx also left one of my boxes at their city center and forgot to load it on the truck on day of delivery. Fedex was no help at all on the phone. Called wholeblossoms and they got fedex to deliver my flowers to me later that same day.

I just recently ordered from wholeblossoms.com. I ordered hydrangeas, dahlias, Ranunculus, and hypericum flowers.  The hydrangeas were good.  But they arrived with 3 of them green, not white, not off white, or a hint of green, they were green.  2 of them were bad.  They droop and almost dried up.  The rest were beautiful.  I would recommend order these for your wedding, but have to order extras if you have the money.

I was VERY disappointed with the Dahlias flowers I received.  I ordered 30 stems for $119.99.   That's $4.00 per stem and they arrived wilted and drooped right out of the box.  The flowers were tiny and I could not use them at all.  Most of the heads were less than an inch big, not like 3.5-4in diameter like they advertise on their website.  Attached are a few pictures that I took on the day the flowers arrived.  I was so busy with the wedding that's why I chose to order from a high end website, pay more, so that I could feel assured the flowers would come with the highest quality.  It was a big disappointment.  They were my sister-in-law favorite flowers too. 

I hadn't heard of bigrose but did extensive research before buying flowers from wholeblossoms. And our overall experience was wonderful! I think we ended up spending close to $2000 since we got all our wedding flowers there. My MOH took delivery of them and we spent 1-2 days before the wedding prepping them up. I did call up wholeblossoms because I needed some advice on whether to remove the netting from the gerberas and football mums and they took the time to answer that and also offer advice on other things. I think Miss Iowa gives great advice on how to care for flowers. When I saw all my flowers initially, I was overwhelmed so hopefully brides know how to treat them after delivery. I will try to post a link soon on this thread to show some of our wedding photos with the flowers we ordered and arranged.
