Your Spring Wedding- Make it Pop with Color, Not with Price



Spring represents renewal and new beginnings. Therefore, it is a perfect time to have a wedding. There is no newer beginning than a wedding, and the promise it can bring of new family and the blending of love between two people is never more pronounced than in the season of spring.

Spring is best represented by the incredible colors that accompany the re-awakening of the flora and fauna. Virtually every color of the rainbow is present all around, from pristine pinks to cool lavenders to lush greens. As such, a spring wedding has a spectacular color palate from which to choose. American Floral Distributors, the leading online flower wholesaler, has some great suggestions to help make your spring wedding pop with color:

· Tulips – Spring is the season for tulips, and from 500 colors to choose from, it won’t be a problem to find tulips to match your spring wedding color theme.

· Peonies – Peonies are typically pink, white and lavender, and the scale of color in which they come is spectacular. With their large, fluffy petals, peonies are like miniature wedding dress skirts onto themselves.

· Daisies – When most people think of daisies they think of a traditional white daisy. Daisies actually come in a vast array of colors - so much so they can sometimes look like Gerbera flowers. With a choice of hot pinks, oranges, bright reds and of course, the classic whites, daisies can splash incredible color across your spring wedding day.

· Hyacinth – You know it’s Spring when you can smell the hyacinth in the air. Not only will hyacinth add beautiful color to your wedding, the aroma will be outstanding!

Like the spring season, your spring wedding stars a new chapter. As such, your wedding flowers not only decorate your day, they welcome people into your celebration. Announce your new beginning to the world with color and make your spring wedding pop! And if you are on a budget, don’t worry. Research a flower wholesaler like American Floral Distributors to see how much you can save.

Don't Let Your Wedding Flowers Become a Thorn in Your Side



It may be cold outside, but wedding season is almost upon us, and with the advent of wedding season comes wedding planning. There are key essentials to making a wedding perfect: the bride's dress, the perfect venue, and of course, the wedding flowers. Wedding flowers are a large part of any wedding budget, and can cost thousands of dollars – if you aren't looking in the right place.

“We can tailor our wholesale wedding flowers to just about any wedding event,” says Richard, General Manager of American Floral Distributors. “With the average wedding costing around $27,000, and flower budget estimates being about 8% of that number, the average bride is looking at spending a minimum of $2000 on flowers alone. With our wholesale wedding flowers, we can help brides save some of their money and still make the event look just as beautiful as a florist can.”

There are some common misconceptions about buying wholesale wedding flowers versus heading to your local florist. “People tend to think that buying bulk wedding flowers means a bride is compromising on quality. This is simply not true,” says Richard.

In fact, wholesale and bulk flowers are just as fresh – if not more fresh – than the florist's. Why?

“The process is simple and straightforward,” says Richard. “In the florist distributor chain, the flowers go from the grower to the importer to the wholesaler and then finally to the florist. This takes anywhere from 8-17 days off the life of the flower.”

Example A:

Grower --->(3 days) Importer---->(2-4 days) Wholesaler --->(2-5 days) Florist --->(1-5 days) Final Customer
Total days out: 8-17 days Remaining life span: 3-5 days

“At American Floral Distributors, our flowers are cut in the 'bud' stage at our partner farms and shipped that way directly to the customer. Upon arrival, the bride will need to do some minor caring for the flowers as per the enclosed instructions and allow about twenty-four hours for the flowers to open. By going through a flower wholesaler like American Floral Distributors, your wholesale flowers will last 3 to 4 times longer than a florist's,” says Richard.

Example B:
Grower --->(3 days) Final Customer
Total days out: 3 Remaining life span: 12-17 days

Another misconception is in regard to variety and color. “Whether you are looking for wedding flowers, pre-made bouquets, wedding arrangements or bulk flowers for any upcoming event, a flower wholesaler like American Floral Distributors can meet your needs,” says Richard. “We are partnered directly with growers on a global level. This gives us access to an incredible variety of flowers world-wide.”

Richard sums up the wholesale flower business with this: “We have two jobs at American Floral Distributors: the first is to get you the perfect flowers for your wedding or other event. The second is to save you some money while you do it.”

Your Quinceanera-Let It Be a Milestone - Not a Gravestone for your Wallet



A Quinceanera is not just an over-indulged birthday party. Much like a bar or bas mitzvah, it is the female Hispanic religious celebration of moving from childhood to maturity. Quinceaneras are also like weddings in that there is a church ceremony and reception, flower bouquets, formal dresses, and the celebrant appoints her friends to a Court of Honor. Proper planning for a quinceanera usually starts a year prior to the girl’s fifteenth birthday, and many quinceaneras have themes, such as a princess theme. As one can imagine, budgeting for this type of event can be costly, with the average overall costs coming in between $5000 and $10,000.

“While we can’t help with all the costs, we can help significantly with the cost of the flowers,” says Richard, General Manager of American Floral Distributors. According to eventective.com, the total percentage for flowers out of your quinceanera budget should be 5%. Considering that the average overall costs come in between $5000-$10,000, you are looking at a budget range of at least $250-$500 for your flowers.

“A florist’s bouquet just for the celebrant will run at least $100,” says Richard. “When you buy your flowers from a wholesale flower business such as American Floral Distributors, you can cut your costs in half, enabling you to purchase not just the celebrant’s flowers, but flowers for her Court of Honor, the church and the venue – all while staying on budget.”

The flowers will last longer, too. “The process of getting flowers to the florist’s is approximately 8-17 days, leaving 3-5 days of life. The wholesale flower process brings the flowers directly to us from the grower in about three days, leaving two weeks of life in them,” says Richard. “Combining this process with the reduced cost makes buying wholesale flowers for your quinceanera event a win/win.”

One myth about wholesale flowers is that they are limited in variety and color. “This couldn’t be further from the truth,” says Richard. “Our growers are global. Our variety is comparable, and sometimes better, than your local florist’s. With the wide variety available through a wholesale distributor, matching flowers to your quinceanera celebration theme is not a problem. So let us help you create a memorable and budget-conscious event.”

Hosting a Super Sweet Sixteen-Keep Your Sweet Sixteen Party Budget Sweet with Wholesale Flowers






Whether you are going full MTV-esque or doing a simple backyard celebration, you’ll need flowers and centerpieces to help set the mood for your child’s sweet sixteen party. With the average Sweet Sixteen costing between $3000-$5000, you are looking at spending a minimum of $150 on flowers alone. How can you maximize on your flower budget while not compromising variety and beauty? Try shopping a wholesale flower distributor like American Floral Distributors.

“We have a well-established global network of growers, giving us the ability to provide a wide range of flowers throughout the year. This way we can work directly with the client to meet any color or flower type needs at a substantially lower cost,” says Richard, General Manager of American Floral Distributors.

Wholesale flowers can come in pre-arranged bouquets, or you can buy loose flowers to create your own bouquets and centerpieces.

“Our bouquets cost about half of what your local florist’s will be, and if you are creative and want to do your own, our loose flowers are even less expensive,”says Richard.

A little footwork is required as wholesale flowers are typically sent in the bud stage, and will need 24-48 hours to open completely. Instructions come with your purchase.

“Our flowers come to us directly from the grower and then get sent directly to you. This way, they are extremely fresh and will last up to about two weeks,” states Richard.
