We DIY'd most of the florals for our wedding and selected flowers from a local vendor, but unfortunately they didn't have all of the greenery we were looking for. At the last minute, I searched online and found Blooms by the Box, and I'm SO glad that I did. Everything was affordable and, best of all, the greenery turned out beautifully. The solidago was clearly well-cared for and very fresh. During the order and delivery processes, I received extremely efficient and thorough communication from Blooms by the Box, which made me feel so much better about ordering online. Would definitely recommend, 100% and without hesitation, to couples looking to DIY their wedding flowers!!
I ordered from Blooms By The Box to put together 4 centerpieces for a Wedding Shower that my daughter had. They arrived on time and gorgeous. I only had a few blooms that were broken and the Queenslace was not super perky.
Items were confirmed, then received a late call that certain flowers would not be arriving. Bad experience. Flower design is like a recipe, removing one or two items means the entire design has to change - sending only 4 of 6 types of flowers ordered makes the 4 that arrived useless for the original project. Won’t use again.
We ordered a variety of flowers and greenery (Whir Fancy Carnations, Mini Gerbera Daisies, Gypsophila Million Star Flowers, eucalyptus, Pompon Button White flowers, and Delphinium Light Blue Flower) for a bridal shower. The carnations, eucalyptus, and Delphinium arrived in perfect condition. The Mini Gerbera Daisies arrived SMASHED by the ice packs in the box. I'm not sure why the ice packs were put on the most delicate flowers, but 1 of the flowers was completely broken off the steam and multiple had missing petals and one had mold on the flower. Overall the majority of our Order arrived safely and as expected. I would just be cautious of ordering delicate florals from Blooms by the Box in the future.
Worst wholesale experience I have ever had. I ordered flowers from this company for my sisters rehearsal dinner 2 weeks prior to my event - I selected this vendor based on the inventory they advertised and designed my arrangements on this selection. The company called me the day after I placed my order to confirm the contents of my order and delivery address.
24 hours before my order was expected to arrive, the company called to say that 4 of the 11 items in My order were unavailable- only fillers were available and none of the local flowers that were the basis of my design. The company offered some substitution suggestions but none were close to the color palette I had originally ordered or resembled the flowers in my original order. I called to request that my order be cancelled on account of this as I could source better flowers from my local grocery store for half the price but they said the order had already been dispatched.
When the flowers arrived, NONE of them were usable! They had basically packaged the dregs of what was left in their cold room. Stems were rotten, flowers were dead, dried and discolored, they had charged me for the replacements along with what they had not been able to fulfill. Some bunches that were apparently in stock were missing from my order.
I had to scramble to buy all new flowers with less than 24 hours of the event, doubling what I spent on flowers.
When I called to complain and demand a reimbursement, this company was not sympathetic or helpful at all. I had to send them pictures of ALL affected stems- multiple times, resending emails bc they couldn’t get the jpegs to open, for them to even consider reimbursing me. They imposed rudimentary deadlines on me- “if not received by noon we will not consider reimbursement”.
I was reimbursed for 75% of my order despite not being able to use any of the flowers ordered.
This was for a rehearsal dinner, and. I can’t imagine how distressing this would have been were it for my sisters wedding event.
Stay away from this company at all costs.
Easy order, prompt delivery, packaged well; however, I was disappointed in what I received. Olive branches were already wilted and some of the pink flowers had rotted stems. Quick run to Kroger to buy more.
Overall, disappointed. We won’t be purchasing from Blooms by the Box again.
We wanted to be happy with the purchase and indeed the delivery was prompt, the boxes arrived in good time and order but the flowers were so disappointing. We had ordered specifically for a party and had called the company beforehand to find out if the reds (plural) were indeed different types of red as pictured. We were assured that yes the delivery would include a range of different types of reds similar to the photo on the website and likely each stem would have a number of buds on it that if ordered for an early delivery would be open on the day of our event.
The quantity of flowers that arrived was underwhelming. We expected something like the photograph that pictured a range of reds. and what we received was all the same solid red. Each stem had only one small flower on it approx 2” across. The buds were green and not at all ready to open. The blooms were not good enough to make the foundation of bouquets—dahlias are quite showy!, and we had to search for another option to create substantial bouquets. We were fortunate that we did not have to spend more money, throwing good money after bad - a friend provided flowers from her garden, averting a complete disaster for the party. In effect each flower cost $5 which is simply exorbitant. The eucalyptus that arrived was in such an advanced stage of growth that the medallions were twice the size of each dahlia head thereby making them look more like daisies than the lush multicolored dahlias we saw in the photos and which we were assured we would receive.
When we called to voice our dissatisfaction we were told in a curt and quick manner that we must submit our complaint within 24 hours and with detailed photos which we did promptly. Despite that and even being first time customers we were refused a refund, a partial refund and not even offered a credit.Other than the timely delivery itself, our disappointment is complete.

I ordered flower petals a week before I needed them. Not only did a customer service representative call me soon after submitting my order to confirm everything, she made sure they had correct shipping & was very helpful & reassuring.
The petals arrived in plenty of time & in fantastic condition. Great experience, I appreciate your professionalism & follow through
Flowers were delivered on time and they were in great shape! Tips for keeping these flowers fresh were included and helpful. I will definitely use this company again.
My flowers were exceptional! The owner called me about a change they needed to make because of availability. They made a comparable replacement. They gave very helpful care instructions. My flowers lasted much longer than I even expected. I will absolutely use this company again.
I had a last-minute order, and they truly came through for me. Even when a substitution had to be made, they reached out. I did not get the message in time, but they picked the most perfect sub flower for me. I am thankful for them, and my event went perfectly!
BEWARE!! SPENT $300+ AND RECEIVED DEAD/BROKEN FLOWERS. THEY OFFERED NO REFUND OR CARE. I ordered flowers from here for an event, showed up 2 days past the event, the company could care less and when they did arrive they're mostly broken or rotten! They are a total scam and could careless! I was going to donate them to a nursing home but at this point they're half dead. Save your money and don't EVER use them.
- all my opinion
The flowers were beautiful and have lasted so long! Specifically, I ordered ferns and white/yellow fillers to complement my woodsy, fairytale, nerdy theme--everything came perfectly boxed and alive. The included instructions were also very helpful.
I was nervous about ordering on line, but all questions I had were answered quickly. I even received a call prior to shipping to confirm a minor substitution.
Flowers arrived when promised and were healthy and beautiful.
I ordered peonies to be delivered 3/15 (Wednesday). They arrived on Wed. I brought them in within 10 minutes of box being delivered, gave them a fresh cut, put in cold water in several vases in order to make flower arrangements for an event today 3/17 (Friday). The peonies are virtually unusable. They are dropping petals like crazy. They were kept in cold water, out of direct sunlight, in a cool room since Wed afternoon. There were no leaves floating in the water to create mold/fungus issues.
Ordering from Blooms by the Box was a waste of money. I have ordered from your company before, as well as from companies such as Global Rose, Fifty Flowers, even Costco for bulk flowers and have never had such an issue where the flowers aren’t usable.
Very fast shipping and the vases look great and just like their picture- these will make great center-pieces..
The greenery arrived as ordered and on time.
I ordered roses, spray roses, Gerbera daisies, lemon leaves and a filler for Sweet 16 arrangements. The customer service was excellent! Flowers arrived as expected with clear directions on how to prepare the flowers prior to arranging them. It’s definitely DIY but the flowers lasted far longer that my trial
flowers from the florist. The arrangements were beautiful!
So pleased! These arrived right when they were supposed to and we were very impressed with how they were packaged. The orchids we ordered did not bloom out all the way up the flower in the two days before the wedding so I didn’t end up using any of those in my bouquet but they still looked pretty In the other arrangements!
We ordered a variety of flowers to DIY our entire wedding - all came on time and looking lovely! Would definitely recommend bulk orders from Blooms by the Box.
Extremely pleased with the vibrancy of the flowers and the quality. Shipment was received on time-packaging was perfect! My order was rather large for a DIY wedding for my niece. There was a few substitutes and communication regarding the substitute was great! Blooms customer service was prompt and kind. I get it-can’t always get flowers wanted and fortunately I had back up plans and used two other vendors. For the bridal bouquet (white Lilies) I didn’t need hiccups so I used a local florist for those as a backup. Wedding was beautiful and my niece was so happy! Flowers were a hit!!
DO NOT USE. my flowers sat in transit an extra day. I was instructed to give them time to hydrate once receiving. I did as told and then called within 24 hrs but it was a Saturday so I left a message. My call was returned but now they have denied my refund because of the time frame which was beyond my control. I had called them no less than 4 times once I realized my box was delayed on Thursday. So I was in constant contact. I also had to drive 2hrs to replace unusable flowers for my event and now lost $200 since MY customer clearly isn’t expected to pay the difference as any good business would do.
Absolutely the best customer service I’ve had from a company, a real person called me not once, but three different times to make sure my address was correct and speak with me about substitutions. My flowers came on time and were beautiful!
I ordered assorted greens for my sons engagement party. The rep on the phone helped with the quantity that was needed and we had more than enough! Fresh, gorgeous greenery delivered exactly when promised. Couldn’t be happier!
These beautiful flowers arrived just as requested via FedEx (allowed for easy tracking). Immediately unwrapped & prepared according to easy directions. Followed tutorials on the website. And im still getting compliments on the arrangements. Thank you for assisting with our dreamy day.
So thankful to have found Bloomsbythebox! Our order was delivered exactly when we needed it and the flowers and greens were even better than we expected! We wish we ordered all of our flowers here!! We can’t say enough about the amazing silver dollar eucalyptus!! So gorgeous!!
The flowers were so carefully wrapped that it takes some time to prep them, but once the stems are cut and placed in fresh water they all came back to life! Would recommend to anyone looking for a giant box of flowers ❤️❤️
gorgeous hydrangeas! Came in looking wonderful with little water bags tied to each stem. Thank you!
I would not recommend BloomBytheBox. I ordered two items from this company, the canceled the one item the day before shipping and the other item was not the right color. I understand there is a variation in colors when growing but not from light peach to Gala apple red. They refunded me 25% for this and the Hypericum Peach Berries cannot be used at all. They are curt and act like they are doing you a favor by providing you with flowers rather than being grateful for you order. You can find lovely folks to work with elsewhere. Buyer Beware.
When planning a small wedding in replace of our big one, I knew I wanted flowers but did not want to spend a ton of money. I came across Blooms By The Box and decided to take a chance and couldn't have asked for more beautiful flowers to be delivered right to my door. The quantity for the price was also incredible. My flowers for the aisles as well as bouquets came out amazing and the DIY instructions on their website helped out a lot. I also can't say enough about how great the customer service is. When I notice one of the flowers I ordered was missing I called and got an answer immediately and was refunded in no time. I would definitely use this company again in the future!
The flowers looked great! I was a little hesitant to do DIY flowers but I kept it simple and followed their instructions and the flowers looked awesome. Also they are so easy to work with and will help you with any problems.
Bloooms By The Box has pretty much everything you could want for DIY bouquets. The quantities/prices are good if you wanted to do centerpieces as well (we were just doing bouquets) and there are tons of instruction videos and pre-matched kits of flowers to assist with that. We had a couple of substitutions last minute, which they do warn you is a possibility if they do not have the stock, and they are super responsive and flexible about replacements so I did not find this too much of an issue--just be aware if you are really set on a particular sort of flower, we ended up swapping out the roses that were the main flower. But I liked what we ended up with! The delivery was right on schedule, flowers were in good shape. Recommend!
Look no further Brides! I ordered the Marsala flower pack and everything was amazingly beautiful! I originally did not want flowers in my wedding and then at the last minute changed my mind, and glad i went with BloomsByTheBox. I will admit i was a bit scared thinking my flowers are going to be shipped in a cramped hot box 2 days before my wedding. but they arrived perfectly on time. The carnations and roses looked a bit tired when they arrived, but after snipping the ends and placing them in water, they woke up the next day and the white roses opened a lot. All the greenery and hanging eucalyptus was EXACTLY what i wanted. I ordered one pack with extra carnations for centerpieces and i made 5 bridesmaids bouquets and my bouquet was ginormous and still had flowers left over for my bridesmaids to have even bigger bouquets. there were even flowers left for them to put in their hair. i'd order from them a million times over.
If I could give it 0 stars, I would. The flowers arrived mostly wilted, rotting and smashed. A lot of the foliage was shriveled and dried up and they must have run out of one of the things we ordered because instead of sending us eight counts of it, we received four plus four of random foliage that did not match. I was working with a professional flower arranger and she had never seen anything like it. She could tell immediately that the flowers weren't fresh, but we still had to jump through hoops to get just a partial refund. We had to run to Costco to get fresh flowers we could use and cut some of the foliage from my garden. This all happened on the day of my bachelorette party, 2 days before the wedding. Save yourselves the money and emotional stress and stay far, far away.
We got burned by two different florists before we decided to try and do something more DYI. Blooms by the Box was perfect. It was so affordable, and the representative I talked to with helped confirm that the arrangements would look good and how many stems of each I should buy. She even helped me create a cheat sheet on how many stems to put in each bouquet or arrangement. There are only a few downsides to using this service for your wedding: you are forced to carve out time to arrange all of the flowers the day before your wedding which can be stressful, but also can be fun and memorable if you get enough family and friends to help. Also if you are not getting married in your hometown, having to order the flowers to your address and then transport them to your venue is also a little stressful. I think our bouquets came out BEAUTIFUL and we were so under budget, but I would recommend buying 5-10 extra stems of anything you get. We had a few flowers that were a little droopy and we decided to toss them out, but didn't have anything to replace them with. Also, the wedding DIY supply package and the wet floral foam was a life saver.
We ordered $100 of Ivy from this company for our wedding. It did arrive on time and was green but it was very shriveled and limp. The directions say don’t worry it will rehydrate overnight, so we followed the care instructions and waited. The next day of the wedding it looked more shriveled and limp. We were only able to use 6 of the stems. I sent pictures to the company and described the condition of the ivy but they refused to refund our money. They said they didn’t feel like the ivy looked bad enough and we only had 24 hours to send photos and request a refund. No one had time to do this the day of the wedding. DO NOT order from this company. Good thing I ordered our wedding flowers from Costco and they arrived and rehydrated beautifully.
I ordered my wedding flowers from Blooms and they were gorgeous. The bouquets were easy to put together. They were delivered at the exact time the email said they would be, and the prompt delivery gave me plenty of time to prep the flowers. The directions were easy to follow, and the flowers were safely packaged. The price cannot be beat!
We set the flowers to arrive two days before the wedding day and it worked out perfectly. We bought bulk roses for our centerpieces while and they arrived looking smushed, but we trusted what they said in instructions, cut and watered them and by wedding day they looked beautiful.
You might be able to get more perfect-looking flowers from a florist, but if you need many flowers and “very good if not quite perfect” does the job, you can’t beat the deal. We paid almost as much for five corsages at the florist as we paid for 100 roses from BBtB.
I ordered several different types of flowers for my sister's wedding with the intention of putting them together myself. I ordered hydrangeas, sweetheart roses, baby's breath and seeded eucalyptus. Unfortunately, most of the flowers didn't make it to the wedding day, however, we did have enough to make all of the bouquets. I followed the directions to the T once they arrived. I unpackaged the flowers, cut them on an angle under water, put them in cool water and left them in buckets in a cool space from Thursday until Friday evening. At least 3 of the roses fell apart just as I unpacked them from the shipping box and 1 bunch of eucalyptus was brown and a second was starting to turn. I changed the water on Friday afternoon to keep it fresh. By the time I went to put the bouquets and arrangements together on Saturday, only about 1/3 of the roses were usable as they were falling apart or turning brown. Half of the eucalyptus was too dry to use. The hydrangeas were still in decent shape. Luckily we were able to piece together bouquets from the hydrangeas, the few roses that were left, babies breath and a little bit of eucalyptus but there really wasn't anything left for decor anywhere else. It was a lot of money to spend for six bouquets and I was disappointed because I followed all the directions very closely.
Our flowers arrived on Thursday in pretty good shape for my wedding on Saturday. We followed the instructions on rehydrating and refreshing our flowers. On Friday, we DIY'd bouquets. The flowers looked better than the day before. By Saturday morning, the flowers looked PERFECT! We could not be happier. Also, before purchasing, we received very honest communication about the number of flowers we needed to purchase to accommodate what we needed to make. I was originally nervous to trust an online source for our Big Day, but BloomsByBox really was outstanding and the flowers bloomed perfectly! Nothing to worry about.
For the most part it was perfect, but they called me the day before it was supposed to be delivered to say that they didn't have my color available for one of the flowers and would I like pink instead of peach. I said only if it matches and they said it would.... but it definitely did not. It was hot pink while everything else I had was white and light peach. I had more than enough flowers to cover for them and ended up getting a refund for those pink ones since I couldn't use them. I was pretty happy overall, but a little disappointed since they originally said it would be in season and available. I would have rather had extra white instead of adding in a new color that didn't match anything.
Beautiful flowers, arrived in good shape. they were just what we wanted and we had more than enough to create bouquets and boutonnieres. I would highly recommend this company.
Blooms by the Box you are the best ever! This is my first time doing an arrangement and they turned out fabulous!! I have never in my life been more concerned about a delivery item than I was about the Hydrangea's I ordered for my mother's 95th birthday celebration. When they arrived they were wrapped and protected to the "Nines". I followed all of the instructions by your polite and wonderful customer service and the arrangements turned out perfect! The flowers really do come back to life once hydrated. I borrowed bins to get them started as soon as they arrived. Then the next about 36 hours we started the arrangements. (The night before event) The morning of the party they opened and fill out even more and looked fabulous in the vases. I recommend this organization highly. I you have the time, do it yourself, save money and go with Blooms by the Box!
YES! I ordered the Pantone 2015 Colors Pack and the 16 Feet Garland Single Green. The flowers arrived 2 days prior to our wedding day in perfect condition and exactly as pictured online. I prepared them according to their online instructions and the morning of our wedding day, they were in full bloom and looking even more beautiful than when they arrived. I saved a lot of money by choosing BloomsByTheBox and absolutely recommend this vendor to other DIY brides.
We ordered our flowers through Blooms by the Box and put together our bouquets with my mom and aunts. The flowers showed up two days prior to the wedding, and were put together the day before. I am amazed at how well they turned out. We used them for our bouquets, for centerpieces, and for boutonnieres. They lasted all night and looked lovely! I highly recommend if you are trying to save costs and are a DIY bride.
After researching the many online bulk flower sites I chose Blooms by the Box due to selection. I was ordering dahlias, but other sites do not let you choose more than one color without it costing more. Even without free shipping, ordering 100 dahlias here was much cheaper and I got to order a variety of colors.
They arrived sleepy and wilted, like they warned. Within an hour of being in fresh water they were awake and gorgeous.
I loved that they track the shipment so I had a good guess when they would arrive.
I would absolutely order from them again. My centerpieces and bouquet were perfect.
I could not be any happier with how my flowers turned out!! Ordering was simple (aside from determining which flowers I wanted) and selecting a delivery date was easy. The flowers came the Thursday before my Saturday wedding and they were under bloomed (as expected) and by Friday night they were close to full bloom. I assembled the flowers on Friday night and had more than expected. My bouquet turned out beautifully and we were able to save ourselves some money!!
We ordered flowers for all of our centerpieces from Blooms by the Box. I was a little nervous about what shape the flowers would arrive in, but decided to trust their customer service policy and all the reviews that said any issues were quickly and professionally resolved. Our flowers showed up dormant as expected, my mom followed their very clear instructions, and everything perked right up beautifully over the next day. The flowers even kept impressively long - many of them still looking great after we got back from our honeymoon! The only drawback, or at least point to be aware of in your planning, is that the flowers the website says are available or unavailable in a certain month aren't always accurate. I had skipped over one flower option that was listed as unavailable only to have my mom (ignoring the website) order and receive it. The opposite also happened, where one flower we picked wasn't actually available.
I ordered flowers from this company and Costco Bulk Flowers. The flowers from this company did not make it to my wedding day. I ended up deciding not to use them. They wilted and started turning brown as soon as I took them out of the box. I kept these flowers in an air conditioned room up until the Wedding Day. They were not worth the money I paid for them. My Maid of Honor ended up using the extra flowers I had ordered from Costco to make our Bouquets and Reception flowers. I would not recommend this company's services to anyone. I ended up with garbage and unnecessary stress.
I was so nervous about using Blooms by the Box - I am not particularly crafty - but everything turned out so great! The website is so straightforward as far as giving suggestions for how much to order and how to store it. There are also a number of tutorials with suggestions for supplies you need and how to go about arranging the flowers. The quality of all the flowers was just amazing, and they really know what they're doing because everything arrived 2 days before the wedding and was just perfectly peaking on the day of the wedding. Definitely make sure you have lots of hands to help arrange your flowers, and make sure you have LOTS of buckets to keep the flowers in water, but overall, this was a really great value and a fun experience, too!
I bought three wildflower boxes for my wedding. We had 5 bridesmaids, and four groomsmen + one grooms-maid. We had 200 had our wedding with 26 tables. I had more than enough flowers and was able to decorate the whole farm with little random mason jars of wildflowers after we finished the bouquets and boutonnieres for the wedding party, parents, and grandparents. It was perfect and a fun time making it all with my wedding party the day before. The flowers came out beautiful except for one batch of roses; but, honestly, we had so many flowers it didn't matter. I probably over-ordered because I was afraid more might not bloom right or go bad early. They lasted more than a week and we sent all our remaining table bouquets to a nursing home to cheer up their residents!
I ordered most of my flowers from SamsClub.com, but for my bouquet I wanted pretty vibrant flowers. I ordered two different types of Garden Roses and I combined them with white roses from the other vendor and they were gorgeous. We got everything before 5pm on the day of delivery and they were outstanding. Great Quality! I called Price Chopper to see what it would be if I picked up the same type of flowers from them and they told me it would be $7 a stem. After shipping, these flowers were a little over $4 a stem. Great bargain for DIY flowers!!!!
I was nervous to order flowers but determined to do the floral myself as a way to save money and personalize our event. We did all the floral ourselves and it turned out gorgeous. The flowers arrived on time and in beautiful condition. The staff at BbtB were so very helpful with assisting in how much to order, how to store and hydrate and provided video tutorials for instruction in making bouquets, boutinnieres, centerpieces etc. We saved a bundle, created memories in the making of our own bouquets, etc., and had a beautiful end product. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
I am very happy I chose Blooms By The Box for my wedding flowers. I am not really a flower person by any means, but after researching the cost of a florist I felt like DIY was my only option. Blooms By The Box made it very easy for me. They emailed me a guide that described some of the most popular flowers, which flowers complemented them, how to prepare them, and how to arrange them. They even post YouTube videos that show how to arrange and assemble a variety of bouquets.
I chose white roses, blue hydrangeas, green hydrangeas, and lavender calla lilies for my bouquets - each of my three bridesmaids had different combinations, but I had all four flowers in mine. When the flowers arrived from UPS, I was incredibly nervous to start prepping them, but it was actually fun! Which reminds me - DON'T FORGET to order the DIY starter prep kit for this part, because no way would I have been able to use the stuff I had around the house for prep work! My sisters and friends helped with the flower prep and arrangements and I was very pleased with the end results - many of the guests and even the photographer complimented me on my choices.
Just a few things I feel the need to mention though - in the DIY starter prep kit I ordered came a canister of LeafShine. None of the instructions on the Blooms By The Box website seemed to mention this product, so I didn't use it. My flowers arrived on Thursday and by Saturday, the day of the wedding, some of the roses were turning a little brown and wilting more noticeably. I read an unrelated DIY flower guide after the wedding and it mentioned using flower preservative to keep flowers from browning. I have no idea if that's what the LeafShine product was, but if it was indeed floral preservative, I feel like Blooms By The Box needs to mention it more clearly in their DIY directions. I was probably the only one who noticed the browning at the beginning of the day on Saturday, but by the end of the event, all the boutonnieres and some of the bouquet flowers were wilted and sad. If preservative could have prevented this, I would have appreciated being informed sooner.
That said, I believe the savings behind doing your own wedding flowers far outweighs this one drawback. It was a nice project for me to work on in the few days before the wedding, and for someone who hates flowers, I found it to be pretty fun and rewarding!
I wish I could give a rating of 3.5. The flowers were pretty much what I expected, except that the calla lilies never really re-opened after shipping. Everything arrived on time, and the roses and carnations looked great! I also found their online resources and suggestions very helpful :)
I was super nervous about ordering flowers for my wedding and I just wanted it to turn out right without having to hold the hand of a florist throughout the whole process. I ordered the flowers on the website a month ahead and set the delivery date for two days before the wedding. The flowers arrived right as scheduled and were just as promised. We let them sit overnight and made up arrangements the next day. It was so great to get all the flowers I wanted at such a reasonable price. Thanks for making my wedding beautiful.
I didn't want to spend thousands of dollars on flowers as I had a very small wedding. All the florist in Vail, CO were so expensive! I took a chance and I ordered flowers and supplies from Bloomsbythebox. For the most part the flowers came in good condition. I ordered more flowers than they suggested just in case and I'm glad that I did. My only issue with this company is that I also ordered supplies and they arrived the day after my wedding. Obviously that was a great inconvience but they quickly appologized and refunded me my money. I would buy the flowers from them and get the supplies some where else if you need supplies. Other than the supplies, they were very helpful and guided me the right direction on which flowers to pick and how to assemble. Overall, I was very happy. My flowers turned out great!!
I order 100 white roses for our table arrangments. The roses were beautiful! Arrived ontime and in great condition.
A few of the flowers arrived in bad condition, so need to order slightly more than you actually plan to use. Otherwise, all the flowers were beautiful and arrived in one day, as promised! The company is located in NJ, by the way.
We did our own flowers, so I went to a flower farm for most of my flowers, but I did want orange flower petals for my aisle, so I ordered them through BloomsByTheBox. They were very easy to order, and came quickly, as promised. I stored them how it said to and they were beautiful. My only issue is, I got ALL my other wedding flowers for the same price that I paid for petals alone, sooo not really cost effective. I guess its a lot cheaper than hiring a florist, but not the cheapest option out there. With that being said, I knew I wanted petals, and Im glad I got them. They were perfect for what I wanted.
I could not afford to have a professional do my flowers, so I learned how to do them on my own and decided to use Blooms By The Box as the wholesaler. I used the type of flowers from a quote I had from a local florist--based upon what I'd seen at bridal shows.
My theme color was cobalt blue. The accent color was to be a soft peach (so it wouldn't be bright orange like the Florida Gators as my hubby is a Longhorns fan). However, the lisianthus and roses that I ordered as "peach" came in "pink". Some of the lisianthus were peach, but the bulk of them were with white, peach, of magenta.
Other than the color issues, I ordered 100 40-CM roses (peach) and the heads on them were BIGGER than then the 50-CM Eskimo roses I ordered. I couldn't use them for boutonnieres because they were too bug so I had to buy more roses locally.
When I placed my order, I received an email and was able to talk individually about my order with one person via email. That was helpful!
Most of the roses already had the thorns removed. I didn't have much in the way of "waste", but the 100 peach roses, I probably had the most waste with those about 10 roses. They were mildewed all the way to the core, not just the outer pedals.
Order the roses to arrive ONE DAY before the wedding and gather a crew to work on them. They don't need long to freshen up and age rather quickly. I kept my AC down to 70 to keep them cooler and out of direct light. My wedding was on a Monday, so I needed the roses to arrive on Friday so I could work on then on Saturday due to the many wedding weekend events.
When I woke up Monday morning, I was nervous. I got busy on the boutonnieres, and soon calmed down. That was awesome!
I ordered 20 peonies from Blooms by the Box for my brides's bouquet. The cost was the cheapest I could find, as peonies are rather expensive. The flowers arrived packed very well with cooling packs. As expected they had not opened yet and were only tight buds. A few of the stems broke off close to the bud as I was recutting them. And a few of the buds looked dead pon arrival and never opened. Overall my bouquet turned out great! Not quite as full as I had hoped but it was still beautiful! The quality of the blooms may have had something to with the time of the year as peonies are not in season in July.
I ordered flowers in bulk from blooms by the box and it was one of the best choices I made for the wedding. They were beautiful and CHEAP! For 14 centerpieces (tall 18 inch vases) I spent less than $500. Doing your flowers yourself is the way to go and you save a ton! I was a bit nervous about them arriving on time for me to put them together but I called the 1 800 number and spoke with someone in customer service and they really helped with suggesting an appropriate arrival time and instructions for when I got them. They were extremely helpful, pleasant and patient with all of the questions I had. I would would definitely suggest going with blooms by the box if you can do your own flowers!
Blooms by the Box sent such beautiful flowers! My bridesmaids and I had a fun time arranging them on the Friday before the wedding. I was blown away as soon as we opened the box, and it was hard to contain my excitement. I wanted to smell and admire every variety! We ended up mixing in some wild queen anne's lace from the field behind our hotel, and the results were stunning. I truly believe that our arrangements, bouquets and boutonnieres were better than any florist could have done!
I was a DIY bride that made all the bouquets and boutineers. Blooms by the Box was a great service for us. We research a lot of options and came down to the fact that florists are extremely overpriced. I paid $250 for all the flowers in the wedding where I was quoted over $2000 by a florist for the same amount of flowers. So if you have the strength to deal with making bouquets the week of your wedding, go for it.
They were extremely helpful when I called. I straight up asked if prices were inflated because of Valentine's day (of course they were). She not only admitted to that but told me when would be the best time to buy for a wedding.
Shipping can be pricey for out of New England states to look into that.
Was very happy with the flowers I got! Everything was exactly as described.
My wedding was on a Sunday so we had to had them delivered on Friday. I left them in the box until Saturday. We opened them Saturday night to decorate the hall and they were carfully packed and still looked good as new. I ordered white roses and blue hydrangeas. They were beautiful. Thanks BloomsByTheBox.
We used Blooms by the Box as a wholesale floral option in our wedding, in order to keep our cost low and express some of our own creativity. We purchased blooms of the blue hydrangeas, which we used 5 heads to make each bridesmaid's bouquet. Simply wrapped with blue ribbon we purchased at our local craft store, they were perfect! We used bear grass to line one of our cylindrical vases to cover the floral foam. On our food table, we created a centerpiece using curly willow, bear grass, and some dendrobium orchids. In our bridesmaids hair, we used the stephonotis flowers as a pretty touch!
Thank you to BBB for providing DIY brides with a great floral option on their wedding day!
We bought all the flowers for the wedding bulk and my aunt (she's a florist) and cousin did all the arrangements and bouquets. This site was AMAZING! It was really easy to use, you won't find cheaper prices anywhere (trust me I looked) and the flowers were so fresh when they arrived. And if you order early enough out the shippingis free. One of the best finds during my wedding experience!
I decided to make my own wedding bouquets and it was such a great decision and a great way to save money in your wedding budget. Blooms by the box is priced very reasonably and they explain to you in detail how to prepare the flowers for your big day. There is also a lot of information online on how to do this and I am not very crafty. The quality of the flowers was extremly high and i was very pleased with how they turned out. I would highly recommend this company if you plan on making your own wedding flowers.
Although I was hesitant at first about buying my flowers online through a wholesaler, I couldn't be happier with the decision I made. The flowers were shipped on time and in great condition!
My sister was constantly stressing about her budget so when it came time to make a flower decision I knew the only choice was wholesale flowers and DIY wedding arrangements! I used them for my wedding too! Blooms was wonderful! Beyond all the money we saved their customer service were great! Because of the summer heat they upgraded the shipping and the flowers were beautiful! We ordered 200 roses, fillers, lilies, and peonies! They arrived professionally packaged with cooling packs and looked great at the wedding! I would recommend them to any bride on a budget!
We ordered the flowers 2 days prior to the wedding so that we got them on a Thursday and were able to organize and create bouquets, bouts and centerpieces on Friday for a Saturday wedding. The flower arrangements looked GREAT Friday evening but unfortunately did not last until the wedding Saturday. Given the chance to do it again I may have just hired a florist to save the time and frustration.
I was a little nervous about ordering my flowers online, but Blooms by the Box blew me away! I received a call to confirm my order hours after I placed it, and they worked with me to find the best place to have the flowers delivered.
I ordered cala lilies and billy balls from them. The calas lasted TWO WEEKS and were still pretty when the stems finally had enough. The billy balls I dried and they are now decorating my house.
Such a great option for DIY brides on a budget. I couldn't have asked for anything better!
What a value! Rather than spending a fortune with a local florist, we decided to go with a wholesale florist from online. We'd hired someone from our reception site to "nurse" and put our centerpieces togther. The blue hydrangeas and cream roses were stunning. For the value and good service, you can't go wrong.
