I don't see how that would be 10k...so the pinterest ideas must have included higher dollar flowers (dahlias, hydrangeas etc) and an arch/installation. For those DIY brides out there watching this video, consider contacting a local grower too. I grow flowers locally and sell DIY packages. It is one way to get some of those higher dollar blooms, if they are in season. You would be amazed at some of the flowers you can source locally. 🙂
I just found your video and I love it. My daughter wants to do her own flowers as well and Costco was right at the top of the list. There is such a huge variety of flowers and I think it’s a fantastic idea. Makes the wedding a little more personal I think to do things yourself. I know not everyone has the luxury of time but for something that is as important as a wedding…any budget can be beautiful with a personal touch!❤
I'm saving your video for when my youngest daughter gets married. No, she's isn't engaged yet, but I want to have it queued up ready to go for major wedding savings!! 😅
This video is so helpful, thank you! When did you assemble the table vases? Did you do them the night before then transport them with water in vases or did you assemble them at the venue? If at the venue, did you have others doing that for you so you could enjoy getting ready, etc?
I thought the same thing. I bought Costco flowers to do a practice bouquet for my wedding in September. When I called to get quotes for the bouquets and arrangements. My instant thought was absolutely not. I will make it myself. I didn’t know you can preorder the flowers online. Thank you for the helpful tip. About to head to the website now to order.
Hi! We are looking into doing our own flowers for our wedding in June 2024 and some of these flowers are no longer available on the site. Did you notice if this is dependent on the time of year/stock available when you were making your plans?
hi! congrats🤍 i can’t say for sure but it’s super possible that stock changes depending on time of year / what’s in season - i hope everything you’re looking for comes back!! xo
We are thinking of doing this for my daughters wedding in September. I note you made the bouquets the night before. Did you put them in water at that point until the ceremony the next day? Any insight is appreciated. Thanks’
Hi there. Thought I might be able to help you out. We did all fresh diy floral for my daughter's wedding. You do have to put the bouquets in water. When you get the flowers you should immediately cut about an inch off to open up the stem to receive more water and remove leaves so they do not get into the water (they can introduce bacteria) so no leaves in the water. Roses... Remove all leaves. Anything that has wrapping on it leave the wrapping on and let hydrate for an hour then remove wrapping (this keeps the flower heads straight and able to drink). Let them continue to hydrate for 24 hours. The next day assemble your bouquets. You can just leave them in an inch of water or enough so that the ribbon isn't getting wet. The next day (event day) take the entire vase w bouquets to the venue. Keep in vase until the last minute. After pictures, put bouquets back in the vase with water.
Thank you for sharing! I am trying the hardest to calculate how many flowers I need for the wedding and what to mix together flowers wise. I’m going for similar colors as you, but I only have 1 matron of honor 2 bridesmaids 10 tables I want to put baby’s breathe and eucalyptus on, a backdrop for the sweetheart table and the sweetheart table itself. I’ve tried to write down what I need so many times. 😅
This is amazing! Thank you for some of the after shots. I'm also looking into doing Costco flowers. Do you have any images of the garland specifically?
So good to see an update wedding Costco video! You did such a great job.
Thank you so much!!💚💚

Thanks for the video, Sam's Club also has nice wedding floral arrangements that come pre-made (lots of options for white/green color combos).

Hi! I'm looking to do this! Can I ask if you had to remove the thorns for the bouquet?
hi! i removed a lot of the leaves/foliage from the roses but they didn’t have any thorns 🤍
@@darlinggoose oh my gosh! Thank you so much for responding. I was worried about that! 😅🥰
@@hannahh2272 goodluck!!

Yes I do! if you head to my instagram @ laura.saxe you’ll see photos in my two wedding posts💚
You could just search local flower farmers and buy fresh long lasting not flown flowers.
Mine was 5k and I said no but 10?? That’s insane 😭
wow you can now become a florist
