Flower help!! Costco or sams?

Courtney, on March 2, 2018 at 2:31 PM Posted in Planning 0 3
So I’ve been looking around for flower prices and read many tips that it’s cheaper to go wholesale flowers rather than florist. My question is for the decoration flowers. I want to do baby’s breaths for ceremony isle markers in little buckets. For center pieces mason jars with baby’s breath and a few pink carnations, keeping it simple. Sams and Costco only sell the carnations with 150 or 300 stems. I only really need 100. I just am not sure how much to get and which place is cheaper or has better quality. There are about 7 rows of chairs for the ceremony but I might do every other, as for tables there are, I think 15. I don’t want to get to little and can’t afford to get way more than I need. I will try and attach pictures of my inspiration on the decore.

    If you use the search tool you'll find plenty of threads for both Sam's and Costco. We used Costco for my oldest daughter's wedding (roses) and they were in great shape and did well. I've heard good things about Sam's too here in the forums. My only concern about Sam's would be their recent changes in corporate structure. They are closing several brick and mortar stores and will be going to more of a distribution mail order business. The flowers will be by mail so that's not the concern but there is a lot of change going on and I would worry about them having the logistics worked out. Just my two cents.

    We used Costco for our wedding flowers. It was great. Don't shop at Sam's so dunno about their pricing/quality. We shop at Costco all the time and I think their quality and pricing are great.

    I'm considering this also, when did you flowrs arrive and how did you keep them fresh for the wedding day?
