TIA!Thu, 29 May 2008 18:05:12 GMTNewbie2008http://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic386996-21-1.aspxI have been involved in a couple weddings now that have used flowers from Costco. One just got a couple arrangements and they were gorgeous and lasted for over a week (I got to take one home as a thank you for helping). The other wedding just ordered flowers and we did all the arranging. All the flowers for the wedding cost under $400 and that included 12 centrepieces, the bridal bouquet, 4 bridesmaids bouquets, 9 boutonieres and flowers for 2 really large arrangements. The flowers were picked up the day before and everything was in great condition. We got them from the south Costco in Calgary.</P><P>Leslie</P><P>August 9th, 2008Thu, 29 May 2008 17:07:40 GMTlesliesjdhttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic386996-21-1.aspxAnyone know which Costco's make the boquets? Thu, 29 May 2008 08:13:59 GMTamanda2007http://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic386996-21-1.aspxso I went to a Hamilton area costco today. And they don't make up bouquets. But the average price for roses is $17 for about two dozen. I'm going to use them as my reception flowers. And go with a professional for my bouquets.Wed, 28 May 2008 15:37:56 GMTlolaghttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic386996-21-1.aspxCostco definitely has the best prices on roses, but just an FYI that they only offer them in 1 colour for the entire bouquet - i.e. all yellow, all red, all white. I have heard a couple of people who have received the slightly wrong colour of flowers when picking them up (i.e. peach instead of pink), but I'm not sure how common this is.Wed, 28 May 2008 03:08:14 GMTlforlandhttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic386996-21-1.aspxA ballpark for the roses is $17 for 2 dozen....I'm pretty sure I was able to get 2 dozen in a bouquet.Tue, 27 May 2008 18:36:02 GMTRaRoRoCohttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic386996-21-1.aspxI wanted to ask this same question. I haven't been able to meet the merchandizer to get quotes because they're only there at certain times of the day and it's never when I'm there!</P><P>All that being said, how much do they generally charge for a bouquet of roses? I realize that the size of everyone's is different but I'm just wondering about a ballpark figure. Thanks!Mon, 26 May 2008 20:24:24 GMTNewbie2008http://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic386996-21-1.aspxWe got our centerpiece flowers (white roses) from Costco and we had a great experience with them. We ordered 6 dozen flowers I think- and the price was WAY cheaper then what our florist had quoted us. We picked them up the day before the wedding as I wanted the roses to be slightly opened and put them in warm water (as suggested) and they were perfect the day of the wedding. All in all- we had a great experience with Costco.Mon, 26 May 2008 19:29:05 GMTeeklrbhttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic386996-21-1.aspxHas any of you ladies bought wholesale flowers from costco to do your wedding flowers? What was your experience, and what did you think of their prices?Mon, 26 May 2008 19:04:41 GMTlolag
