No matter how much you plan, there is a chance something can go wrong on The Day. Changes in chapel logistics, the reception hall, extra guests that somehow have to be accommodated: all of these can result in spearing out the floral decorations and stretching the arrangements. Believe it or not, buying in bulk can solve this dilemma. It's like having two spare tires.
Flowers can cover a wall that has "issues," help set an extra table for the unexpected guests who surprised everyone, and give a memento gift to someone who really helped a lot. A gift of flowers to the minister, his family, the custodian or the staff at the reception shows you are grateful and appreciate their helping make your special day all the more special. Flowers share the event and carry the memories home. Having enough to do the job and to share with others is the real benefit of buying bulk wedding flowers.
Working with a provider will make the task of making the bouquets, table settings and other decorations easier. They will be able to suggest creative ways to put the flowers to use and make the most of their colors and fragrances. They will also be able to advise you on how to store the flowers for freshness and color and how to transport and care for them until ready to be used. Flowers are natural, living things and some will not survive shipping and delivery, that's to be expected. Orders of bulk wedding flowers provide insurance that there will be more than enough to make the day and still have leftovers for mementos and a special "thank-you".
Florists are not charitable institutions. They are highly trained and educated professionals and deserve to be paid for their expertise. But today many brides-to -be are actively managing their own weddings and flowers are part of the plan. Bulk buying gives a chance to experiment with different colors and fragrances and not over-spend your budget. The displays can be extravagant and beautiful and stay within even a modest budget. Being your own floral designer can be an exciting and meaningful experience since it will give your wedding a special feel, one that comes right from you, not one picked out of a brochure or catalog.
Be sure when buying bulk wedding flowers that you ask lots of questions. Look for a vendor with lots of experience, and most important, someone you feel comfortable with and with whom can discuss your plans. Be ready to make a substitution if their recommendations about suitability of a particular flower or its environmental needs are a concern. Responsible vendors will not sell you something they know will result in an unfortunate fiasco. They care too much about what they do to let that happen. Get ready to have the event of your life, you're getting married. Your flowers are a declaration of your love for each other. Choosing which ones to use is part of the whole wonderful experience. Flowers share your love with their colors and fragrance, and you can never have enough.
