Hi
We had the Super Grocer inSteveston on # 1 road. The lady Christina that works there was great. The flowers were so beautiful and price was great.

For Reception day: Went with "Along Came Amy Floral Design" (http://www.alongcameamy.com/), she delivered to Richmond, based out of Burnaby. Went with her because I really wanted peonies & everyone else said "no guarantee". She was less than budget (budgeted $500) for:
1 bridal bouquet
3 bmaids (ea maid had diff colours/flowers, this could've been less exp if all were same i think - not sure)
7 boutonnieres (1 groom white orchid, BM had blue fox, Gmen1 yellow tulip & Gmen2 green kermit button mum. They matched their bmaid - parents had jade roses)
1 wrist corsage (jade roses)
+ delivery

For traditional Hindu wedding day - my MOH ordered roses from Costco, couldn't afford spending another $500 on flowers, so for $100 & a "little help from my friends". Out of 4 doz cream roses, 4 doz jade roses & 2 doz red roses....the 4 of us in total made:
2 bouquets (1 bride w/2 doz roses, 1 bmaid w/1.5 doz)
30 cream boutonieres (grooms side)
30 jade boutonieres (bride's side)
6 - 2 rose boutonieres (for groom & our parents)
left over/broken roses - flower girl baskets
(wedding day flowers are pictured on left of collage)

I only cared that the Costco flowers lasted the one day as they get destroyed anyways. The boutonieres were quite bloomed & really full, but the bouquets were perfect. All flowers made it thru. If i did it again, would still make the bouquets but maybe would have the boutonnieres made by florist. Roses were picked up the afternoon before wedding, made everything in the afternoon & put into coolers/fridges & spritzed throughout night.

Costco does offer a 2-doz rose bridal bouquet for $60 or bouquet pkgss.

There were a couple other Vancouver companies that I had found afterwards that I thought were really quite affordable & they made pkgs...I just can't recall the name...

Budget Blooms or something...will respond again if I can find their email.
