Because we are smarter together than we are apart, I wanted to pass on this reader question. It’s a good one.
I’m looking into ordering my flowers wholesale and arranging them myself and wonder if you have any recommendations or tips in what to look for when researching and what to avoid? – Amy
Please chip in with wholesale flower websites that you’ve used (within the US or internationally – Team Practical International should not be excluded), and what tips you have to pass on.
My personal advice is simply this: if you live near a big city, go to the local flower mart. We’re sourcing all the flowers for our wedding from the fabulous San Francisco Flower Mart (though oddly, we’re still searching for a good source for local wild plants – namely Jasmine and blackberry bramble). Now, your turn. Go!
