We purchased these with a Friday arrival for a Sunday wedding. Clipped the ends with the sharp shears provided with the flowers, placed them in a few inches of water in a cool place (unused bathroom). They were beautiful!!

Before I get into a more detailed review of this wedding collection, let me first say that they were simply gorgeous, and I can't believe I had such beautiful flowers for this price. This was one of the best purchases I made for my wedding. I requested that my flowers arrive 2 days before my wedding, and they arrive promptly within the delivery window I was promised. The boxes were still cold, which was great. The flowers were very securely protected and strapped into the boxes. Everything was perfect and fresh! The ends of the bouquets were wrapped in moist sponge, and the sponges were covered with plastic so they wouldn’t leak. I followed all the unpacking and preparation instructions included in the box. I kept my house cool to prevent premature opening. When it was time to arrange the centerpieces, we took them apart, trimmed the stems to a few inches and put them in floral foam in vases (see attached photo-- vases not included). They were fantastic. And our bouquets looked amazing even after being out of water for 8 hours! My advice would be to follow all the instructions closely. Pull off the pollen sacs on the lilies so they don’t stain the petals. Consider ordering even 3 days in advance or not keeping the flowers really cool. My bouquets were perfect, but the flowers being more open couldn’t hurt. Keep yours bouquets in water until just before you need to hold them. That’s probably why our bouquets lasted all day without water. Good luck!

Ordered this collection for our son's wedding. It was a very small, simple wedding. No entourage, just family. Ordered it to be delivered two days prior to the wedding and it came right when it was supposed to, packed exactly as described. Followed the instructions and everything was beautiful. Some of the roses in the bouquets were looking just a touch brown on the edges by the wedding day but those petals were easy enough to pluck out and everything was still beautiful. I took apart one of the bridesmaids bouquets to use in a flower arrangement I made for the ceremony table with added flowers and greenery from Trader Joe's (inexpensive!). Then I used the extra boutonnieres and corsages to tuck around leaves and seashells on the ceremony table for a beach wedding. And the flowers stayed fresh for the hour and a half drive to the beach. This was easy, cost effective and now almost a week later, most of the flowers are still making our dining table pretty.

My daughter wanted an elegant wedding we did it on a budget which was difficult using fresh flowers. The flowers came in on time I followed the directions and they were stunning we used them with silver, crystal and very minimal deep purple. It looked as if we spent thousands on the flowers. i tell everyone about this money saving tip, without giving up any of the quality of having a top notch florist.

Of course I was concerned about purchasing flowers online like everyone. Then I realized that people do it all of the time for other holidays, etc. Frankly, my budget wouldn't have allowed us to do anything more expensive and I am SO glad that we didn't waste our money on more expensive flowers. This set was PERFECT! You cannot get a better set of flowers for this price. You just can't. They were delivered the Thurs prior to the Sat wedding (they arrived by 10am). We cut the ends with the provided clippers and put them in the water (with provided flower food). They were so aromatic they smelled up every room they were placed in (from my Aunt's house to the hotel to the chapel). Even my cousin said that he smelled them when I walked down the aisle! Today is the Wednesday after our wedding and my bouquet is sitting on our dining room table looking amazing. If you are planning a wedding on a budget, get your flowers from Sam's and choose to splurge on something other than flowers. These flowers will surpass your flower wants and needs. They truly are gorgeous.

We ordered this collection, added 6 centerpieces, and 2 bridesmaids bouquets because I had 7 bridesmaids! We also wanted to add a pop of color to the centerpieces so we ordered the lavender roses and some extra baby’s breath for filler! The flowers were delivered in wonderful shape and packaged very tightly! The flowers were delivered Thursday morning, and they opened up a bit more before the wedding on Saturday. We left all of the bouquets, bountinneres and corsages as they came! They were perfect! I had so many compliments on the flowers... we had a total of 16 centerpieces, plus we had enough lavender roses and baby’s breath to make 2 additional arrangements! The amount of flowers we ended up with would have cost at least 2 times what we spent from a florist! I will recommend Sams in the future for all of my flower needs!!

I was nervous, like so many other reviewers, about getting wedding flowers this way, but the price was less than half what the local florist wanted. The flowers arrived as fresh and beautiful as everyone says and as the pictures how. However, beware of this: the website did not even show they had shipped yet the morning they were due! I was getting *very* stressed! Apparently, the fresh shipment goes out before the tracking part kicks in. So, I had some mild panic, made some phone calls, waited nervously, and they arrived on time! The bridesmaid bouquets are as described--small but pretty. I thought the stems were too long, but I didn't have time to undo the ribbon, trim and rewrap. We used as is and they were very pretty. We took our extra bridesmaid bouquet and the bride's bouquet to a local florist, and for $25 she disassembled them, added other flowers and hanging greenery and created a lovely, large bride's bouquet. The toss bouquet is as strange as pictured, but that's what we used. The bouts and corsages where fresh and nice. Mine (mother-of-the-bride) was thoroughly smashed after all the hugging, but that's part of it. We used the petals for the flower girls, and they were fresh. I had followed all the directions to a T on trimming and putting bouquets in water and all other flowers and petals in the fridge. They looked lovely two days later on the wedding day. The roses had started to open. Advice: put the bouquets in vases so they stand exactly straight upright so they open evenly. We used a grid of tape to hold them upright. Overall, I would recommend this package to anyone wanting fresh wedding flowers for a bargain price.

The website says to order them AT LEAST two days before the wedding. Today is Thursday and my wedding is Saturday. My flowers came today fully bloomed. No buds, and no more room to bloom. They will definitely not make it to Saturday evening and this has stressed me out to the max. Some of my boutineers are so full that they are starting to wilt and petals are coming off. Dont get me wrong, these flowers are BEAUTIFUL...but they are ready to go down the aisle today. They are not going to make it until Saturday. I have contacted Sam's Club and they are going to see what can happen with the vendor to have them replaced with flowers that will make it to my wedding! Flowers are one of the biggest things at a wedding and I am really upset this has happened so close to my big day.

My daughter and I shopped numerous places for flowers and decided that SAM'S was the route we were going to take. The 43 piece white roses package was what we needed and the 10 centerpieces were a bonus. The flowers were delivered just as they said they would be by a refrigerated truck and before noon. When we opened the boxes we were amazed at how beautiful they were and fresh! The only reason I gave 4 stars is because my daughter wanted her bridal bouquet bigger which was an easy fix with one of the 10 centerpieces. We just added one of the centerpieces around the existing bridal bouquet. It was perfect and beautiful ( I have attached a picture of the altered bouquet-simple# Follow directions and they will be perfect. #we kept all the flowers in a room that we kept the a/c at 60 degrees until the wedding day! My daughters wedding was July 5th and her bouquet is still beautiful in the refrig. waiting for her to return from her honeymoon to preserve. (7/22/13) You won't be disappointed on this purchase! One of the best and most affordable decisions we made!

These flowers arrived to our hotel carefully packaged. Not one stem was broken, no buds were wilted, nor petals bruised. We could have taken these straight from the box and used them the same day. Very impressed at the number of blooms and quality of flowers, especially the thickness of the rose stems. After caring for them for two days, the blooms were full and beautiful. Guests were thrilled when we asked them to take the centerpieces home as gifts. We even used a bridesmaid bouquet as a cake topper. These fit in perfectly with our French/New Orleans wedding and made the day wonderful!
