I'm on a very tight budget and thinking of buying flowers from an online wholesaler and making my own arrangements... I'm planning on having hand-tied bouquets with Gerbers and Roses (I think this is cheaper than just Gerbers, do you think that's correct?) in red, orange and yellow, or alternatively red and white.
The alternative is Sam's club or the local farmer's market. What do you think is the best option, considering i really need to keep the cost down as much as possible (i'm going to use the bridesmaids bouquets as centrepieces for some tables!) Thanks!

Dear Whiterose_gs,
This can work out to be a very good savings for you but what you need to do is place a small order from the warehouse, so that you know the quality they are shipping. Also be sure that you allow the time and refrigerator space to store the bouquets once they are done. This would absolutely have to be something that's done the week before the wedding which is already crowded with last minute things. If your bridesmaids are local, enlist their help for any chores you can. Nancy Tucker President of Weddings Beautiful US http://www.weddingsbeautiful.com
