where to buy roses for flower throw?

[wonderlandaddict]

Has anyone bought roses for the walkway and flower throw when you got to WDW? I was thinking it might be cheaper to go to Sams or Wal-Mart and buy some roses when we arrive. Has anyone done this or have any advice?

We were *just* talking about petals over in this other thread, which has a couple of suggestions—check it out!

I think I may order from flyboy, but I have a question for you. How do you care for the petals? Can I order them now and they will still be pretty for her wedding Oct 18? We will be driving 16 hrs will they be okay in the car? I know alot of questions, but right now I am stressing over minor details!!!! Thanks!

On the site, it says...

Recommended storage for the longest life for your eco-friendly freeze dried petals...

* STORE IN A COOL, DRY, DARK PLACE like a bedroom closet

* IDEAL CONDITIONS: 65-80 degrees....30-35% humidity

* Avoid storing petals in high heat & humidity

* DO NOT REFRIGERATE OR FREEZE.

* Given the proper care they last for many months or more

So it seems like they should be OK to keep and transport for Oct. 18.

I totally recommend http://www.flyboynaturals.com/ !!! I am a wedding planning in the Philadelphia area and we have used this company before for our clients! I am actually using them for my wedding this coming August!

If you only need a little for your flower girl (or girls in my case) to toss down the isle I HIGHLY recommend getting the "3 cup samples" I think they are only $10...you can only get one per person/address-we are using my address and my fiance's HTH!

How many "cups" are needed for 20 people? Anyone know by chance?
