Answer #2
I don't know about flowers online but my daughter that got married last year had flowers and I think they are way overpriced. She ordered them from a floral shop. It was $900 that to me was wasted.

I didn't even know you could do that! How cool is that! I don't have any experience with this. Maybe you can call them ask for some references in your area. Also, see if they have any sort of guarantee ... just in case.

I have not ordered wedding flowers on pro-flowers.com, but I have ordered other arrangements and have been very happy with them. However, ordering your wedding flowers online, you are taking some risks... 1.) There is absolutely NO guarentee that you will get your flowers on your wedding day! A local florist will be able to trudge through snow, or rain and whatever, whereas, a shipping company like UPS doesn't care it's your wedding... if they can't get through... you're out of luck. 2.) It is very hard to distinguish how big and of what value the flowers are that you are purchasing. Pictures are very disceptive... how do you know how big the bouquet is?? is it 10inches around, 3? 27?? You do not know what exactly you are getting for your money in that aspect. Websites like weddingchannel.com, and theknot.com provide checklists and questions you can ask a professional florist. I would call pro-flowers and ask them all the questions you would ask a professional florist (where applicable).. flowers are expensive no matter where you get them from... make sure you do your research. If you're looking to save money... there are many websites that professional florists use to order their flowers online. You would have to then create your own bouquets, but this can help you cut costs. Check with local florists and see if they recommend any websites, or if they will order the flowers for you at a discounted cost?? Again, always check for references, reliability and satisfaction... this is your wedding!!

Monitor colors vary so much, I would be afraid that when the flowers arrive they wouldn't be what I was expecting. Do they let you order samples?
