Wedding Blog
I was blindly surfing the net for orchids and came across this website that ships fresh flowers to you at a very affordable rate!
Check out - Fifty Flowers for awesome deals! 6,000 Fresh petals, that’s right fresh, for only $139.99! This would definitely be an affordable option to decorate and make a lush aisle pathway. 
Not just that - it’s, get this … FREE SHIPPING on ALL ORDERS!!!!!!!!
If you have plan on doing your own bouquets as well (if you have a big team of people helping you put it together), here are more affordable flowers that you can have shipped directly to you a few days prior to your wedding:
100 Peonies for $399.99 or $599.99 depending on the month.
Or how about Hydrangeas?

i ordered flowers from here! they come in tomorrow! ill let you know how they turned out!
Thats funny, I just placed my order for the 12,000 petal package last week from Fifty Flowers!! They mentioned that they all come in one box though, so I’m slightly dubious about how much 12,000 petals actually is… It sounds like a great deal though! Heh, but I will post a review in a few weeks!!
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEET - so glad others have use it. Hope the transactions are smooth sailing! Can’t wait to hear your reviews! I’m ubber excited for this one! ca- CHING!
They talk about this website on the knot’s flower board a lot.
I’ve heard great things about that site. I’ve had two friends use them and had great success. We were going to use them but i just couldn’t take on any more projects. My other friend used

and
Good luck!
One other thought about flower petals that I’ve seen is that you can buy fresh carnations and make your own flower petals from them. If you cut them right at the base of the head of the bloom, it will separate all of the petals, so that in one or two quick cuts, you have the petals of each flower. It takes about two dozen to completely cover a 30″ round table (typically used for wedding cakes).
You can cut the petals the day before the wedding and store them in an airtight container in the fridge.
Anyone know how many petals you usually need for the aisle? Is 6,000 a lot?
the flowers board on the knot.com raves about Fifty Flowers. You can check there for more in-depth reviews.
THANKS miss cherry blossom! i was looking for a good floral shipper…I am totally planning on DIY bouquets!
Hi Ladies,
I actualy helped to launch this website when I lived in Ecuador, from design basics to copywriting visiting the flower farms and teaching them how to package our products. This is a great company, don’t be shy about ordering from here — they’ll come through!
I have never heard of this website but am so glad you shared it with us. You might also want to check out http://www.growersbox.com
They have some awesome deals as well. I am thinking about getting the wedding package with the calla lillies and roses to make my BM bouquets.
Hi,
Are there any sites anyone can recommend for DIY bouquets? Thanks!

NONONONONONO!!!!
I GOT THE WORST, WORST, WORST HYDRANGEAS FROM FIFTY FLOWERS!!!
I spent $200 and they were supposed to be full beautiful blue bunches, and I got pathetic, wimpy, half closed, wilted, sorry excuses for stems.
To replace those POS excuses for flowers, we went to a few local nurseries and bought potted hydrangeas and cut off their flowers.
I vehemently can not recommend the quality of the flowers I got from Fifty Flowers.
i got my flowers today, i can send pix to u if u want… i got lavendar cala lillies, purple roses, and blue orchids… the roses are a little wilted but the cala lillies are beautiful… i put them in water and we’ll see how the roses will be tomorrow… i need to cut them and make them into bouts…
