I ordered flowers from Blooms by the Box for my wedding. I ended up not being able to use them. Flowers wilted and died despite me following their instructions on how to care for them. Thank God I had also ordered 350 flowers from Costco. They arrived on the same day as the flowers from Blooms by the Box but lasted longer. Actually the Costco flowers lasted almost two weeks. I would not recommend Blooms by the Box to anyone.

FutureMrsDelCid: Thanks for the heads up! Just curious, how long before the wedding did you have them delivered? I’m thinking of doing the same thing with Costco but don’t know when they should arrive

playdohpants: I would recommend that you call Costco and ask them. Only because based on your location they will tell you when is the best time to place the order. I ordered 1-2 weeks before my wedding date. The flowers came the Thursday before my Saturday wedding.

chic_and_fabulous: No all I got from them is attitude. I decided not to waste anymore of my time on them. Between my wedding and upcoming honeymoon I had enough to worry about. In the end everything worked out. My advice to any Bride going the DIY route, is to order more than you need. None of the flowers I ordered from Costco wilted or died but it’s a good idea to have extra in case that happens. Say you need 100 flowers. I would recommend to order 50 more. Better to have more than less.

If they were bad and you used a credit or debit card you can file a claim and they can help you get your money back. Good luck!

Oh, gosh. That’s horrible, at least you had backup flowers.
I ordered flowers to be delivered tuesday for my friday wedding, so we’ll see how they look when they arrive. They have some lillies in them and based on the reviews, it takes a few days for the lillies to open.

Hopefully you took pictures! Did you send them the pictures?
My friend DIY’d her flowers and we got them on Wednesday for a Saturday wedding.
