I live in New York City, any suggestions for a florist or where i can buy my own flowers and make them. I already checked the phonebook, im looking for personal experience….
Thanks for the answers… Imara, I checked the wholesales places downtown already, and most of them you need a tax ID to buy.
Agreeing with the post above about the grocery store, but living in NY City there should be local flower marts/markets that sell beautiful flowers sometimes at discounted prices. I’m sorry if I don’t have exact names. What about upstate NY with nursery.
Try these places, Astoria Flower Mart, http://ftdfloristsonline.com/astoriaflowermart/?source=header
or Harrison Flower Mart, http://www.harrisonflowermart.com/
However, Harrison does seem more like a florist shop. I couldn’t quite tell.
Edited b/c I found this link, http://www.fmanyc.org/members-cutflowerwholesalers.htm
They have a list of wholesale flower markets. Try to check those places out. You can find your own flowers and buy wholesale.
Good Luck!
my wife did, she got her flowers at a grocery store florist!

I am actually making my own. I am using silk gerbera daisies. I am meeting today with a family member who is helping my out!

I used to go to Pennock’s for flowers (in NJ) and they have a place in Plainview, NY. (http://www.pennock.com/) They were always great and have decent prices. I have never had to have a TIN to go there.
Lately I’ve been ordering online for conveniece since Pennock’s moved to Philly. I use Grower’s Box most often withj fabulous results: http://www.growersbox.com
Good luck!

I’ve done flowers for 3 weddings and many other events through these places.
