The sunflowers were delivered on a Wednesday morning. We cut the ends and placed in water until Friday when we made our wedding bouquets. Over those 2 days they opened more and were beautiful!! The water was changed each day and the ends fresh cut each second day, and they lasted almost 2 weeks. Highly recommend purchasing! Less than 1/2 the costs of buy bulk sunflowers from a florist.

I read the reviews before ordering these for my wedding. I followed the recommendation of ordering these on Wednesday for my wedding on Saturday. They did arrive pretty flat and closed up. Just as the reviews said, I put them in buckets with water (I added sugar and white vinegar because the food packets were not there), by the next day they were perking up beautifully and by Friday they were almost all open and beautiful! I ordered this 80 count for my bouquet and 5 bridesmaid bouquets and and to decorate our arbor along with the bulk eucalyptus. They turned out so gorgeous! I would highly recommend Sam's Club bulk flowers for any special occasion. They were very affordable and exceeded my expectations. My wedding was just a week ago on Oct. 6th. I live in Flagstaff, AZ and we had unexpected cold rainy weather, but the flowers held up beautifully!

Sam's did not dissapoint! My plan for flowers went south and I found even more beautiful flowers here and they shipped on time and I followed the care instructions and they were perfect. They shipped well and I seperated all of them, trimmed the ends and fresh water. They arrived on Wednesday and my wedding was on Saturday. We added our friends hydrangeas for more filler.

We ordered 80 stems and also the assorted box for our daughter's wedding 8-9-14. We read all the reviews and used all the helpful hints for timing the order and once they arrived. They came to life exactly as stated! I don't think there was a bad on in either box. They lasted for almost a week after the wedding. Would DEFINITELY order again.

I ordered mine and had them delivered Thursday, got them in the morning, wedding was Saturday. Mine were almost all closed. I had them in a 5 gallon pail with the crystals that come with themthemin the house about 65 degrees inside. By the end of the day they were opening up. We made the bouquets Friday night, they were mostly all open some and more by Saturday. They looked great. I received these 10/09/14 and I still have some nice ones left almost two weeks later. I would recommend these. If you have space maybe suggest getting them a day earlier to ensure they are opened to the prettiest.

We ordered the flowers to come on the Tuesday before a Saturday wedding, but the shipping information was never updated and so we weren't sure IF we were going to receive them. They came a day late, which turned out being fine. They were beautiful for our Saturday wedding after we stored them in the coolest spot of the house for the week and made the bouquets on Thursday.

The only reason I did not give them 5 stars was because I spent the few days before I was supposed to receive the flowers in a panic because there was no shipping information and they arrived a day late. Luckily I ordered them with enough time that I was able to get them for the event. They were beautiful even if not all of them were opened up completely

I am so happy I read these reviews and went with buying bulk real flowers for my wedding! These were beautiful! I bought these along with baby's breath and I had plenty for all my centerpieces and all the girls bouquets! I had them delivered 3 days before my wedding it it worked out perfect!

We ordered these sunflowers for our outdoor wedding reception. They arrived Thursday and you could tell they needed some water. Just make sure to cut the stems and put them in buckets of water! We also used the flower food provided in the boxes...By Friday morning they were fully bloomed. I ordered extra based on other reviews but we really didn't need as many as I ordered! Our centerpieces turned our just how I wanted them to! I was so pleased about the quality of the flowers. I would order them again in a heartbeat!!

I ordered 80 stems. They arrived in poor condition, 80% wilted, some broken. All flowers were dry and by the stem's color, were seriously dehydrated. Despite the fact that I followed the caring instructions, 1/2 of the stems were thrown away the next day.
