Determine the types of flowers you will need. Do you have a specific arrangement that you are going to make? How many of each type of flower will you purchase? This will help you purchase only the flowers you need in the amount you will use.

2
Purchase flowers in person whenever possible. Many states have stores such as the Flower Factory that specialize in selling artificial flowers wholesale. You should actually see the flower to make sure it is what you are looking for. Not all artificial flowers are the same. Some look artificial with no veining on the leaves and artificial-looking, plastic parts. Buy wholesale flowers that look like the real thing, with silk leaves that are just as delicate as the real thing.

Purchase flowers online from a reputable flower wholesaler if you do not have a local wholesaler. Online flower wholesalers will require that you provide them with a tax ID or business license they ship to you. They may have a minimum order amount.

Inspect the flowers when you receive them. If they are not something that you can work with, return them.

Tips & Warnings
Artificial flowers should look so much like the real thing that you have to touch them to tell they are fake. Spray a little scent on your artificial flowers to make them feel a little more lifelike.

I buy from them. you only need to spend $125.00 on material and if you live in the usa shipping is free, but you need a tax ID.You can order your supplies thru fax. Ask for a catalog. what I like about it is you don't have to buy in bulk , you can by in singles. they are loyal and good service. hope I was a service to you.
