Flowers

Does anyone know where to get real flowers for a good price? I think Disney's pricing for flowers is a little crazy! Will Disney allow you to bring in flowers for table centerpieces from elsewhere?

if they do allow you to bring in your own centerpieces my florist made us tall vases with clear beads in the bottom with really tall gold branches coming out and then he hung crystals from the branches and lit votive candles underneath. They were awesome and less expensive than flowers.

Yes you can use someone on the outside. I made my own centerpieces to save money, I was quoted about $60 a centerpiece but did it myself for around $13 plus shipping. I bought candle holders for floating candles, mirrored tiles, crystal marbles and tealight holders. Emily then scattered petals around. This saved us alot. I shipped everything to her and she charged me a 1/2 hr labor to set up. Alot of my guests took the centerpieces home so I didn't have to worry about shipping them home. I have one set up without water in my curio cabinent with other things from our wedding day.

Talk to your floral contact to see where you can decrease the price. We had to do that with some of our floral and it worked out really well. If you have a park reception or wedding you can not bring in outside floral you must use Disney.

We used Peddles(.com) for the flowers which were not included in the intimate package. Vicki was wonderful to work with and her prices were very reasonable. I loved our flowers. I requested the pink berries for all of our bouquets. Disney used silk ones, claimed they were unavailable. But the real McCoy was in the arrangements and bouquets from Vicki!

If you are having your reception inside the park (ie - Living Seas) you have to use Disney Floral. However, if you are not, or even if you are, you can still use an outside floral vendor for your personal flowers. We used Whimsical Wey and I HIGHLY recommend them!! They were fabulous and their prices couldn't be beat!! The flowers we got from them were amazing and we had them give us quotes for reception floral also (before we knew we wouldn't be able to use them inside the park) and the price was still unbelievably affordable!! Here is a pic of my bouquet.

If you go to my TR, you'll see pics of the BMs 4 bouquets, my Jr. BM rose wand, 8 boutennieres (sp?), 3 corsages for moms/grandma and my bouquet for just over $400. You can contact them via their website at www.whimsicalwey.com The owner's name is Chris. I would say calling is a better way to get in touch with them. And if you have the chance to meet with her in person, ask to meet at a Barnes & Nobles near her since finding her place is impossible. Good luck!!
