Baby's Breath

I read that this was in short supply so is craaaazy expensive, that might just be New Zealand though.

I havent started looking for it yet but ive been told that unless you cant have it any other way to not do babys breath because its VERY hard to find and when you do its expensive! its all you ever see now on pinterest and florist know the demand for it so they hike that price up.

At costco you can get 100 stems for $80. That was the best deal I found

Also, 100 stems is A LOT of baby's breath. When I was planning on using it, 4 stems was plenty to fill a large mason jar. Just to give you some perspective.

Thank you for the costco tip @future_mrs_d! i needed that myself lol

I had no idea it was so expensive...have you googled any wholesale flower shops near you?

Sam's Club...I was perusing the website last night and I believe you get 6 bunches for 80 bucks...you may want to double check.

I looked at using baby's breath only, through a wholesale florist, and it was only $250 less than going with a combo of mums, roses, dusty miller, lemon leaf, and baby's breath for the whole wedding. I think it's gone up in cost due to it becoming so trendy!

Costco or samʻs club

Yep! Sams Club. That's where I am buying mine.

Costco, or you can also look at local farms. But yeah, it's become pricey because of the trend.... just like mason jars.... Poor little old ladies that can are cursing up at the sky because of us brides

I wonder if queen anne's lace would be any less expensive?

I bought mine through Fifty Flowers....I bought 30 bunches of New Love's Baby's Breath for $287 (they were on sale). Yes, that's A LOT of baby's breaths but my centerpieces are a floral wreath full of them, with candles in the middle (in hurricanes, of course). The rest will be placed here & there...plus some in the bouquets. When compared to Sam's, I paid about $.06 more per bunch using Fifty Flowers, but I didn't mind because I wanted the New Love's variety versus the Million Stars.

Shockingly you can order it from Tom Thumb in bulk for a great price too.

Babies Breath is super expensive. What about a variety of wildflowers? That would look beautiful for a rustic wedding.

Ugh babies breath when will this fad be over!

I agree with MizizAngi try wildflowers!

I've heard they sell it in boxes at costco! We're using it a lot at our wedding too, so someone suggested that to us. They said it comes in a pretty small box, but there's actually a ton per box compared to how small it is.

My whole plan was to use baby's breath because back home in Jersey you could get it at produce junction for dirt cheap

But yes, Future_Mrs_D that certainly DOES help me out!! It's a lot more than I thought I'd be getting.

I'll check into Sams Club as well.

Thanks guys!!

I made centerpieces for my sister's shower back in March and I bought it at produce junction. It was super cheap. Not sure if you have on of those near you.
