I have decided on my DIY boutiques. I have placed an order for bulk fresh flowers.

I will have the regular size callilies so I will probably use 5-10 in each boutique depending on how it looks.

I was able to get 50 Callilies, 150 roses (3 different shades of pink), and 25 stephanios (sp?) for $272.

Those will be beautiful. You will need to find stephanotis stems to use the steph in a bouquet like you have shown in the picture. If you haven't ever worked with steph, they do not have a stem on them, just the tube of the flower and they are very fragile. The stephanotis stems are similar to a q-tip (only a longer base of cotton) that you soak, and then put in the flower tube and they have a pipe cleaner type stem that you can wire and tape to add to the bouquet. You will also need some pearl head pins to push into the cotton to cover the steph stem and make the pretty pearl center of the steph.

where did you decide to order your bulk flowers from?

[butterfly3582]

I ordered them from www.rosesource.com (http://www.rosesource.com). I was originally going to go with growersbox.com but i read some good reviews from rosesource and they had the stephs I wanted. They were actually slightly cheaper.
