We have been running hard during the winter months to find more, and improve upon, the wholesale flowers and wedding flowers that we offer online. Two new products taht we recently added are Hypericum and Spider Mums:

Hypericum: Hypericum is very well known throughout the wholesale flower industry for its ‘coffee-bean’ like blooms. Hypericum is avialable year-round in a variety of different colors from our flower farms in Central and South America. Each stem branches out at the top and is host to multiple colored blooms (the ‘blooms’ are more like colored buds and actually do not produce a flower). Because of their unique bloom structure, the Hypericum is widely used in bouquets of wedding flowers and arrangements of other wholesale flowers.

Spider Mums: Spider Mums are members of the Chrysanthemum family, and like other products in that family, they are well known for their longevity. These Spider Mums stand around 36 inches tall and the blooms open to a diameter of about 5 inches! Spider Mums are available year-round in several different colors from our flower farms in Central and South America. The Spider Mums are widely used in the floral industry as focal points in bouquets and arrangements of wholesale flowers and wedding flowers.

Recently while on a flight on Southwest Airlines, we picked up an issue of ‘Spirit Magazine’ and came across the article ‘There Must Be 50 Ways To Woo Your Lover.’ It is a fun article and recounts someone’s attempts to ‘woo’ their lover 50 times on a trip. When we hit the author’s attempt #41, we found a reference to fresh rose petals and freeze dried rose petals from The Grower’s Box!

The article is a fun, informative, and humorous read and provides some fun and creative ideas for trying to ‘woo’ your lover all over again!

The Grower’s Box recently published an article titled ‘Wedding Flower Tips and Trends for 2008: Budget Conscious Brides, Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers, and The Grower’s Box’. The article highlights trends in the wedding flower industry and provides useful tips for budget conscious brides and those endeavoring to take the do-it-yourself approach to wedding flowers. Excerpts from the article are below:

With Valentine’s Day now passed, many brides-to-be have begun looking forward to wedding season 2008. The date has been set, the reception location confirmed, and the bridesmaids’ dresses picked out. With those tasks aside, the focus now turns to the selection of the wedding flowers! However, with the ever-rising costs associated with weddings, the expense of hiring a floral designer can often be overwhelming. To cut costs, the trend among budget conscious brides is to order wholesale flowers in bulk from online sources like The Grower’s Box (www.growersbox.com) and create their own arrangements of wedding flowers.

The budget conscious bride (Bride-on-a-Budget) and the idea of arranging your own wedding flowers (DIY Wedding Flowers) is becoming more and more popular throughout the wedding industry. On average, brides spend 8% of their total wedding budget on their wedding flowers. This can mean spending up to $1,000 to $4,000 for flowers alone! Many brides are going the way of do-it-yourself wedding flowers because of the significant cost savings and because they it provides them with the freedom to create wedding flower arrangements that truly reflect their own personality and style.

Wedding season is fast upon us and there is no better time to start dreaming (and planning) than the present! The Grower’s Box has helped tens of thousands of brides with premium wholesale flowers for their bouquets and arrangements of wedding flowers.

Over the past several months we have been busy finding new vendors and expanding our catalog of wedding flowers! Our catalog will continue to grow over the next months as spring nears and more wholesale flowers come into season.

Tulips are now in season and are available in a variety of bright and cheerful colors! Wholesale Tulips have become very popular in recent years as wedding flowers and as decorations at receptions as well as informal wedding related gatherings.

In past years we have had MANY brides decide to not focus on one particular set of colors for their wedding flowers… instead they have opted for assorted colors. Likewise, MANY brides choose to go with a specific color or set of colors. There is no right or wrong answer, no correct or incorrect… the wedding flowers you choose and the color scheme you select are distinctly ‘you‘!

Cream colored wholesale flowers are always an excellent choice for wedding flowers. Cream goes with just about every color, and bouquets, arrangements, and centerpieces can be accented with ribbons and other fresh cut flowers to tie in other colors that may be present in your wedding.

Whatever you are dreaming of for your wedding flowers, let us help you! The Grower’s Box offers a wide selection of wholesale flowers and wedding flowers. We are constantly seeking new vendors in order to offer you the highest quality and best selection of fresh cut flowers on the web!
