Cheap–Flowers

kk asked:


I heard people getting bulks of flower at the LA Flower District for cheap. I was there two weeks ago and bought some flowers to practice making bouquets for my Wedding November 08. I love the results and plan to do all the floral arrangements and bouquet for my wedding.

How do I come about ordering batches of flowers from the LA Flower District? Do I just go in the day before and grab what ever flower I want or should I meet with certain floral shops in the facility to order in advance.

Please provide answers, thanks.

Gold cardigans preferably. Should I wear a scarf too?? i have a black dress with goldish-tan cloth trim and flowers. It’s below knee length what should I wear over it so I don’t freeze to death?

Any shoe suggestions? Are sneakers hot? LOL, like shiny gold ones to match the trimming.
Shiny gold converse!! Lol, those are expensive!

Just an idea I’m throwing around, but I want to know what other people think and how they would go about it. The way I’m thinking of doing it would be a LOT cheaper than buying flowers, IF my fiance and I decide we like it and if we can do it tastefully.

*I was thinking maybe peacock feathers instead of flowers for the boutonnieres (would this even look right? Our colors are purple & green, and it’s an outdoor ceremony, in a wooded area)
*Maybe shedding a feather boa and use those feathers instead of tossing petals for the flower girls
*Somehow make bouquets out of feathers for the bridesmaids (NO idea how I would go about this, or how it would look)

Any other ideas? Our wedding is going to be pretty much different in almost every other aspect, so I like the IDEA of feathers, they would fit right in, I just don’t know … well, I just don’t know. Help!
Wow, such great ideas so far! Thanks! But I just thought of something … we’re also going to have a butterfly theme, but the only way this is really going affect the ceremony is that we’re releasing butterflies … I keep seeing lots of bird ideas … would the butterflies clash with the feathers?

I would love to have my wedding to have peony everything- bouquets, centerpieces etc… but its really expensive! So i figured that I would just do my bouquet in all white peony’s and substitute with other large white flowers that were cheaper. What other flowers resemble white peony’s that I could use?

Heres a pic of how I would like my bouquet :

She really likes reds, mauves and browns. I was thinking of roses and lillies. I am having trouble finding good pictures of bouquets that don’t look cheap or fake.

STRESSED spells DESSERTS asked:


I was thinking no more then $30 because after all she is a growing girl and the family just had a new baby. She’s not a very ‘girly’ little girl. She’s 8 and a size 12. My bridesmaids will be wearing these dresses http://www.foreverbridals.com/gownpix.asp?Style=78202. They’re chiffon and my dress is satin and chiffon. My colors are lilac, peach, and mint green with the theme romantic garden although it will take place indoors, because it’s early August. I want her to be comfortable but to fit in with the rest of the bridal party. I don’t particularly care much for solid white or mostly white FG dresses either since she will almost be my height (tiny bride here standing at less then 5ft).

I’ve looked on EBAY found some lovely dresses that are cheap but none of them look like her. Any links or suggestions would be dearly appreciated.

Thank you so much for your help. Happy planning, weddings, and most of all marriages.

To be ‘good’, it should have some/all of:
- interesting scenery
- water/flowers/trees
- easy access
- cheap/free access
- not overcrowded with people
- comfortable for the model (not dangerous, etc.)
