Is it cheaper to buy flowers from a florist?

Is it cheaper to buy flowers from a florist?  The short answer is no.  Grocery stores and big box retailers purchase their flowers in bulk.  Their buying power allows them to drive the price down.  Flowers are often a loss leader for grocery stores.  That means that they take a loss on flowers to drive you into the store by advertising cheap prices.

A florist is typically more expensive, and the reason is that they are a professional and your flower arrangement will be carefully created by them.  Many grocery store bouquets are little more than six or so of the same flower in cellophane.  When you purchase a cheap bunch of flowers at the grocery store don't expect it to last long.

Florists spend years honing their craft and know the right flowers to use and when.  They can also customize arrangements and bouquets with the flowers of your choice and use color combinations that match your event or holiday.  When it comes to grocery store flowers it's more of a "get what you get" scenario.

Any specialized service is often more expensive than a general one.  This holds true for floristry, also called the art of flower design.

Yes, there is a huge difference in wholesale prices and a florist's retail prices.  There are many on-line sources for wholesale flowers, or you might have a local wholesaler or source and not realize it.

I've found Sam's and Costco has great prices on flowers by the package, or special bulk purchases.   But they have a limited selection. 

I get "sort of" wholesale flowers from a local flower shop sometimes for our church (they give our church a discount).  In price, they are cheaper than a florist, but more than Sam's or Costco would be.  They sell to the public at their retail prices, or sell to vendors for wholesale prices. 

Florists get the same flowers from the same sources the flower market does, but they mark the price up quite a bit. 0 Reply Yes...  Wholesale is a huge difference in costs for buying the flowers from a local florist.  I have my Floral Design Degree from one of my Community Colleges.  And you have to have an account with the wholesalers- ID #.  It would be easier to have someone unlike myself purchase the flowers and design them for you- your wedding. 

Most brides have to educate themselves first in flowers- example time of year, costs and what's in season that they would like for their wedding.  It's very sad to say that I do not recommend a florist to do any weddings since I have been behind the scenes for many years.  And the wedding work is saved for the very end to be made- reason, a florist has their day to day orders and funeral work that comes 1st.  Especally if it's a Wednesday wedding- good luck!

My recommendation if you decide that you are toooo stressed in attempting to design, in your case make allll of your own wedding work- don't use a florist.  Use an event planner which I work in the summer and carries till Thanksgiving.  We do anywhere from 15-25 weddings per week.  Constintly we have brides visitng the showroom and designing rooms and come back for the next visit of a consultation with examples of the centerpieces made up (mock set-up).   It might take about 3 attempts to visit with the owners, designers, atmosphere, samples, retail equipments, etc.... but it's worth it!!!!  The amount of coolers that are used to store the wedding work is so unbelieveable. 

And to top it off.....  I know my place where I work- the owners are not designers but they over look the wedding setups when they travel to every wedding!!!!!   Most likely every wedding setup has a designer on site to either design that day or to just touch up on any wedding work that might of been alittle out of place during traveling to the site. 

To be honest- a florist takes small weddings because they do not specialize in weddings.... they deliver to churches and recpetions and leave!!  Back to the florist- hours of operation and close.  Where an event planners like my job- goes back the same night to breakdown the weddings- even if it's 3am in the morning. 

Trust me- take my advice..... event planners take small or big (mostly we have big- 3 day weddings)weddings.  0 Reply
