When to Choose Bulk Flowers

Have you ever planned an event or party that would have really benefited from flowers, but they weren’t used because of the expense? Flowers are often something seen as a “nonessential”, and yet they can really make a room or party space memorable. If you are facing the budget dilemma of “to flower or not to flower”, you should investigate your options in bulk flowers before giving up.

Bulk flowers are not just standard and familiar varieties like carnations and baby’s breath, but include everything from lilacs and hydrangeas to orchids and seasonal bulb flowers like dahlias too.

Sure, you say to yourself, I’ll order hundreds of bulk flowers, but how do I arrange them? Well, the best vendors will offer their clients the chance for a knowledgeable one on one consultation during which time they can discuss the best approaches of caring for the blooms upon arrival, and also some ways in which they can be arranged and displayed too.

Can bulk flowers be used for something like a wedding? Absolutely! In fact, many modern brides are opting for bulk flowers in order to reduce costs, take control of the schedule, and ensure the final results. Most wedding planners warn a couple that anywhere from a whopping ten to twenty-five percent of their wedding budget could go to flowers. Sadly, the expenses are not assigned to the purchase of the flowers, but mostly to the labor in arranging and delivering them. If a bride was very organized they could easily take that large amount of money and actually purchase many more flowers and greens that could be used in bouquets, table settings, and even church or site decoration.

The most important thing to remember about bulk flowers is that their delivery must be adequately scheduled in advance of the event, and most vendors remind their customers that all flowers should be received at least 48 hours before the “big day”.
