We have spent a long time looking for a reliable and dependable source for Stephanotis and we have finally found one!

Description: Stephanotis are blossoms that are cut from a Jasmine vine and are shipped without stems.  They are best known for their charming white bloom which measures about 1.5 inches in diameter.  At certain times during the year the bloom sizes may be larger than the 1.5 inches previously indicated.
Stephanotis is available in 2 different quantities:

~ Box of 25 blooms

~ Box of 50 blooms

The Grower’s Box is your online source for affordable wedding flowers.  We specialize in packages of wedding flowers which are perfect for DIY brides.

“It never hurts to ask.”  Whether you are planning for a wedding, event, or social gathering, this simple tip can really save you time, money, and headaches if you but open your mouth and ask:

~ Is this your best price?

~ Are there any outstanding discounts or coupons that I should know about?

~ Since I am buying multiple items, what kind of deal can you offer me?

Simple questions like these can ultimately save you a lot of time and a lot of money. You will find that many vendors will work with you on their prices if you simply ask them.

Additionally, many vendors offer business discounts, military discounts, and student discounts to name a few.  These discounts may not be posted anywhere and vendors most likely will not volunteer this information unless you open your mouth and ask.

Don’t be afraid to ask… the worst they could say is ‘no’.

At a time when everyone is watching their pennies we figured it would be beneficial start a new series of blog entries titled ‘On a Budget’.  We’ll share with you some tips, sites, and ideas that we have come across which can help you shave costs off of your wedding, event, or weekend soiree.

The other day we came across the website for Hotwire Travel Ticker (http://www.travel-ticker.com/).  A quick glimpse around this site and you will find that the trips that you dreamed of all winter long to tropical destinations which seemed so expensive now appear affordable and quite doable!

With this site you are just a few clicks away from fantastic deals on rental cars, airfare, hotels, cruises and even complete vacation packages.

I just wanted to tell you that the flowers we ordered from the GROWER’S BOX were ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL, GORGEOUS, PERFECT, OUTSTANDING!!!!! I would like to thank you for your help, for the great value, for the MAGNIFICENT Roses and Orchids!!!! I will forward a photo of our event… the guests were “fighting” over the centerpieces and our flower arrangements… AWESOME!!!!

Again, thank you. We will be contacting you for future events. You have made us look GREAT and have a loyal customer.

Hello -

I wanted to let you know that the sunflowers arrived on time and in good order.  They held up perfectly through the ceremony and still look lovely three days after the wedding reception!  I was very pleased with the quality of the wedding flowers.  They were everything I had hoped for and helped to make our wedding ceremony and reception lovely!

I would recommend The Grower’s Box to anyone looking to do any of their own wedding flowers!

Sincerely,

Sandra
