can i buy the flowers myself from a wholesaler and take them to a florist for her to make the bouquets?
i am getting a really good deal on flowers from a wholesaler and i know florists up the costs! can i do that though? or should i just make the wedding bouquets myself???
Part of the florist’s income is the mark-up on the flowers. If you purchase them from a wholesaler, then you will have to pay the florists labor, which will even out in price. The only way to save money is to do it yourself.
If you think about it, it’s like taking your steak to the restaurant and asking them to cook it for you.

Alice Adams $14.95 This is the story of a middle-class family living in the industrialized midland country at the turn of the 20th century. It is against this dingy backdrop that Alice Adams seeks to distinguish herself. She goes to a dance in a used dress, which her mother attempts to renew by changing the lining and adding some lace. She adorns herself not with orchids sent by the florist but with a bouquet of violets she has picked herself. Because her family cannot afford to equip her with the social props or background so needed to shine in society. Alice is forced to make do. Ultimately, her ambitions for making a successful marriage must be tempered by the realities of her situation. Alice Adams’s resiliency of spirit makes her one of Tarkington’s most compelling female characters. A Pulitzer Prize–winning novel that depicts the ambitions and delusions of a middle-class Midwestern family. |
