I was just wondering where you buy your supplies from. Celophane bags, sticks, containers, ect.

Thanks!

In the Indiana/Ohio area there is a store called Flower Factory. A wholesale store that is open to the public. It requires a membership (Like Sam's and Costco) but my local store has a big banner stating Free Membership for a limited time. http://www.flowerfactoryinc.com/
I don't find the website very user-friendly. You really have to know EXACTLY what something is called before you can find it.

I get all of our bags, sticks and that's where I found the picket fence containers, pails, coffee mugs, etc., that you see in our website photos. Prices are unbelievably low! (floating rose-shaped candles that sell at Hobby Lobby and Michaels for $1.39 are $0.29 at Flower Factory).

I get all my supplies from Michaels (bags, sticks, some containers) or online ( www.kitchengifts.com www.coppergifts.com are two that I frequent). Containers I find everywhere (99¢ store, Walmart, flower shops etc.)! Good luck in your bouquet-making endeavors! thumbs_up.gifthumbs_up.gif

I also go to Flower Factory. I purchase 100 cello bags ($5), twist ties, sticks and containers for VERY cheap! I purchase tons of tissue paper and floral foam from them also! I haven't found anyplace cheaper! Another good resource is a place called Flowers Inc Balloons. Go to their website! When I can't find a certain no. of containers at Flower Factory I order from them....I think they're out of Atlanta, GA.

I just bought some basket boxes and shrink wrap from www.nashvillewraps.com Prices were great for ordering in small amounts and they have a variety of themed boxes that work great for my bouquets.

I buy all my bouquet stuff from JoAnn's, Michael's and Ross for the baskets and filler stuff. I buy the plastic wrap- that covers the whole basket- from the Dollar Tree or 99 cent store, for a buck. It's the cheapest I've found.

I second the www.nashvillewraps.com suggestion. They also ship quickly.
