Floral Help

You could probably make them the day/night before. It sounds like you've done your homework! Flower moxie on YouTube is a great resource if you want to watch tutorials and get ideas of what to buy

I wouldn't do them anymore than two days ahead of time. I would recommend if you are using a florist for your bouquets that they don't have in their contract that you can't make your own flowers for other parts of your wedding. A lot of times this is a clause in a contract because they don't want your work (unprofessional) being considered with their work (professional).

View Quoted Comment Ya, I’m not signing a contract for bouquets. Their clauses a moot regardless, they don’t stand up in any civil court (in CA) for anyone worried.

View Quoted Comment Is this from experience or just what you are thinking? I guess I’ll have to make a mock up to see what they do. The price for what you get is really insane.

View Quoted Comment Thank you for the insight too

View Quoted Comment It's a really popular place to buy flowers in bulk online, and they have a lot of great resources, including a pros and cons list for each flower (so you know what needs a lot of water etc) and spreadsheets that tell you how many to buy based on what you want to make. They even tell you what size buckets to get based on what flowers you get! Fifty flowers and local flower farms are also good ideas for flower sourcing.

View Quoted Comment I love this! So i have access to the flower marts in Los Angeles and flowers at wholesale. Where are these spreadsheets? That would be super helpful.

View Quoted Comment They're on the flower moxie website

View Quoted Comment Oh my gosh! How didn’t not know about this. Super helpful for ordering. Thank you so much

View Quoted Comment Happy to help!!! 😀

I know this thread is a bit old, but I’m jumping in because I’m in a similar spot. I live in California too and am curious—did you end up using the LA flower mart? Also, for anyone else reading, did you find that cool storage really kept the white blooms fresh for two full days, or did you run into any wilting issues by the ceremony?
