My tropical flowers just arrived as promised today. FEDEX showed up at 9:00 a.m.

I have to tell you, the flowers are SPECTACULAR! They will be a big hit at my daughter’s wedding shower. It’s a beach theme since she’s getting married in a tropical place.

Thank you Grower’s Box.

A VERY SATISFIED CUSTOMER

For some people, planning for wedding flowers can be a difficult and stressful time.  Questions about what type of flowers you will need and what style you are looking for are often the first major details to be ironed out.  One must decide whether they are looking for a more traditional versus contemporary style.  Maybe the decision is whether to go casual or elegant.  Whatever the decision you settle on, look to The Grower’s Box for a great selection of affordable packages of DIY wedding flowers.

The Grower’s Box offers one of the largest online selections of Wedding-In-A-Box packages.  These packages of fresh cut wedding flowers were designed with Do-It-Yourself (DIY) brides in mind.  Every package consists of popular varieties of fresh cut flowers paired together into affordable and practical packages.  Though our Wedding-In-A-Box packages are carefully thought out and are wildly popular, we understand that they are not perfect for everyone.  Our online catalog consists of a vast selection of packages of wholesale flowers which can be purchased individually to reflect your unique personality or special occasion.

With the holiday season fast approaching, many brides are exploring their options for wedding flowers. Here at The Grower’s Box you will find that most of our wedding flowers are available all year round! This is great news for brides as it means that your options are almost limitless when it comes to selecting your wedding flowers!

Although there are no set rules for wedding colors during the winter and holiday seasons, many brides opt to choose wedding flowers in classic jewel tones that are enhanced by nature at this time of year. Rich and vibrant red, green, gold, silver, ice blue, and deep purple are a few colors that are popular for the upcoming season. There is truly a ‘Winter Wonderland’ of flower options to be found.

As you explore options for the upcoming season’s holiday wedding flowers, consider the addition of Christmas greens, wreaths, and pine cones as viable, fun, affordable, and seasonally appropriate options!

Fresh Christmas greens added to wedding flowers create subtle holiday magic. The fragrance is inviting and boughs can be used in large and small quantities to add charm to vase arrangements, bouquets, and altar and aisle decorations.

Wreaths are a cost effective way to incorporate the holiday season into wedding decor. We offer a number of Christmas wreaths including beautiful pre-designed wreaths with hand-tied bows. We also have several ‘Designer’s Wreaths’ which are great options for brides. These wreaths come with pine cones and can be left natural or enhanced with your choice of decorations to match your wedding flowers.

Pine cones dropped in a ‘fish bowl’ make for festive centerpieces. Pine cones also look great scattered across tables or used to line an aisle. We have even seen pine cones used with rose petals to line an aisle… and the result was beautiful!

Rose petals in red, dark red, cream and white are truly magical decorations. Simply scatter them across any aisle, table or walkway for added elegance. Whether you opt to go with fresh rose petals or freeze dried rose petals, these added charms will not disappoint.

Another viable option would be the addition of Christmas trees in varying sizes to your decorations. Christmas trees can be left as they are or decorated with white lights to add warmth. Christmas trees make any space more inviting and with simple decorations can really enhance holiday wedding flowers. Consider adding decor to the Christmas trees that coincide with your wedding flowers for instant appeal.

The options are limitless when it comes to your holiday wedding flowers! We are excited for the upcoming holiday season and would love to help you as you plan for your holiday wedding flowers.

As a result of many customer inquiries, we have also worked with some of our farms to create special ‘holiday boxes’ such as the one pictured below with Asiatic Lilies and Hypericum. These beautiful flowers look great together and will be the talk of your holiday party decorations!

When your thoughts turn to Thanksgiving and Christmas decorations, remember to visit The Grower’s Box for a HUGE selection of fresh cut Christmas Greens, Christmas Trees, and Wreaths!

Dear Grower’s Box,

I just wanted to say ‘thank you’ so much for the beautiful Dendrobium Orchids. The orchids were so vibrant in colors and very healthy too.

I purchased the orchids to use for my daughter’s wedding centerpieces. They were placed in cylinder vases along with some spiral bamboo plants with color rocks. The centerpieces were awesome looking. My daughter and her attendees had their bouquets made through the local florist, but personally I thought your flowers were more beautiful than the florist. Thanks again.

Very Proud Mother of the Bride,

Arleen

Every year new trends emerge in the floral industry. This year we have been pleasantly surprised to see a significant increase in sales of freeze dried rose petals! These beautiful petals are not only being used for weddings and events, but hotels, spas, resorts, and restaurants have taken akin to the freeze dried rose petals for added decor and ambiance!

Hotels & Hospitality: In just the first few months of this year we have shipped a large amount of freeze dried rose petals to hotels and other businesses throughout the hospitality industry. Some of our customers have indicated that they have begun to offer ‘honeymoon packages’ where the room is transformed into an intimate setting with the mere dimming of lights and the sprinkling of rose petals in the bedroom and bathroom.

Resorts & Spas: Resorts and spas have also been quick to pick up on the trend of freeze dried rose petals. The longevity of these petals allows these establishments to create a peaceful and relaxing environment for their customers that requires little maintenance. Due to the fact that freeze dried rose petals maintain their shape and color, resorts and spas are able to leave displays out longer, have less turnover of product than they would with fresh rose petals, and still enjoy the beauty and fragrance of having beautiful rose petals throughout their facility.

Weddings & Events: Freeze dried rose petals remain extremely popular at weddings and events. This year it appears as though many brides have decided to use freeze dried rose petals instead of fresh rose petals. This shift in the trend could be a result of many different factors. It could be that businesses and brides are feeling the pressures of a sluggish economy and have opted for the more economical freeze dried rose petals. The trend could also be a result of an increasing number of venues that are limiting the use of fresh rose petals as decorations. Freeze dried rose petals are more widely accepted at reception halls and wedding and event venues because they don’t stain, and because they are much easier to clean up.

Whether you are a business or a bride, consider adding our beautiful freeze dried rose petals to your list of decorations to be included at your next wedding or event! The Grower’s Box offers a wide selection of both fresh and freeze dried rose petals, as well as many varieties of wholesale flowers and wedding flowers.

This spring we are branching out from the ordinary with new varieties of wholesale fillers and greens including Green Mist and Queen Anne’s Lace!

These two beautiful fresh cut fillers are VERY similar in size and shape. Both of the varieties measure about 24 inches in length, both are available year-round, and both have green ‘blooms’ that measure about 5 inches in diameter. Green Mist and Queen Anne’s Lace are common in the floral industry and are most often found in arrangements of wholesale flowers and wedding flowers adding diversity and character to the bouquets.

Queen Anne’s Lace

Green Mist

This year when your arrangements of wholesale flowers or wedding flowers call for a touch of greenery, consider the beautiful touch of Green Mist and Queen Anne’s Lace!

New to our line-up are bouquets of Dendrobium Orchids! These beautiful bouquets are available in 3-stem, 4-stem, and 5-stem bouquets. These GORGEOUS bouquets of wholesale Dendrobium Orchids are widely used for fundraising purposes and will surely generate FANTASTIC returns. The bouquets of Dendrobium Orchids can also be used to decorate for both casual and/or formal events, and can even be used as smaller arrangements of wedding flowers to supplement the larger arrangements and provide added decor.
