Who Might be Interested
This tip is mainly for couples who live in the NYC area, but can be useful for all who are interested in doing their own or a friend's wedding floral arrangements.

Why and Where
If you are planning to have simple flowers requirements for your wedding, want to save some money, and you are willing to do the work; then visit the
flower district at 27th and 28th Street, between 6th and 7th Avenue. You can't beat their prices - in November, lots of 2 dozens long stem roses go for about $12.

When
There are over 20 wholesalers in the area. They are open between 3am to 12pm everyday. For your personal uses, the best time to visit is between 9am and 11am.

Planning Ahead
You should plan ahead for shopping for your flowers. Pick out one color as your focal point, that way, you won't be distracted by hundreds of tempting flowers.
Go in a week before you are ready to work on your flowers. Check out what is readily available. Special orders are not recommended. You also need to make
sure the flowers will be at their best on your wedding day. Most flowers last for a week, if taken care properly. So don't purchase them too early.
You should also take into account that some flowers look good as buds and in full bloom, such as roses; but lilies need to be in full bloom to be in their glory
and can take 2 to 3 days to reach their peak.

How
On the day before you are ready to start working on your flowers, go to the wholesalers and select the flowers you need. They are sold in pre-packaged
bunches of 1 to 2 dozens, not by individual stems. If you need larger quanities, just speak to the staff. Be sure to bring a friend or two, flowers can get very heavy.

Some Extras You Might Need
While you are in the area, don't forget to get floral supplies. For bouquets and boutonnieres, you will need green floral tape, wire, pins and bouquet holders.
For floral arrangements, you might need floral foam, baskets and vases. To prolong the life of certain flowers, you will need waterpicks to insert them into.
Last but not least, ribbons are the most popular trimming for floral arrangements and decorations. You will find a wide variety in floral supply shops,
rom simple acetate ribbons (1.5" x 50 yds for $8 each roll) to beautiful wired ribbons (1.5" x 10 yds for $10 to $20 each roll). Don't forget to get a
pair of sharp cutters for those tough stems.

Then What
When you get home, prep the flowers immediately to keep them in good condition. Trim off 1" to 2" of stems at a diaganal, strip off thorns and leaves up to
water level. Put them in tepid water with the recommended amount of preservatives. Let the flowers sit in water for at least 6 to 12 hours before working with them.
This should be enough time to revive them from water deprivation during shipping and transport. If you won't be working on the flowers for a few days, remember
to trim the stems and change the water every day.

Get Set
With the help of some artistic friends and perhaps some good floral arrangement references, you are now ready to put together the floral fantasies of your dreams.
