Has anyone here tried ordering wedding flowers from wholesale suppliers
I’m considering sourcing wedding flowers from a wholesale supplier instead of a florist. Has anyone used options like FMI Farms Flower Wholesale or similar? Would you recommend it for weddings?

If you can find a flower grower they might so a bucket price but if you want to buy from a flower market you will be paying retail price. Wholesale is for florsit only with a floral abn
Hi there,
Some wholesalers only deal direct with thier florists, but if you did happen to find one that sold to the public, they wouldnt be arranged. They would sell you bunches as they are and you'd have to condition, prepare and arrange them all yourslef making your wedding that tiny bit more stressful ( if you ask me)
Sometimes paying that little bit more for a proper florist to create your wedding flowers is a lot less stress, and you camn go into your wedding knowing all the details are taken care of for you.
Hope that helps,

I'm not sure if there's any options like that in Australia. You will probably need to find your nearest flower market - they usually do both wholesale and retail, and you'll most likely need to buy at their retail prices, which usually isn't a whole lot more.

Many people do there own flowers! Just like many people cut their own hair, build their own app, paint their own portriat..... Just because you can cook- does that mean you will be cooking the food for all your guests on your wedding day? Do you have the time to research meals for everyone, source dishes and a cooking space, prep all the food, then cook it so its perfectly timed for you and your guests to eat it?
Because thats the time, effort, knowledge and prep that goes into wedding flowers. You can't just rock up with flowers from a whole saler and expect them to not take (sometimes) days of work to look good.
If flowers are important to you and your day- and you want to enjoy your day and not be stressed, I highly recommend leaving them for a wedding floral designer to create for you! :)
