dyi table greenery

I am looking for greenery for our tables too. I've looked at fresh greenery, and faux greenery. It looks like faux rented is MUCH more cost effective. At least in my area it is. I think a lot of greenery can look very real, if you just take the opportunity to search for what you want. I find for the price of live greenery, I just can't justify the price.

But, I have heard costco is the place to go for DIY flowers. Good luck!

I was looking at them yesterday! Definitely considering!! Our venue is having an open house at the end of may and I was thinking of ordering some italian ruscus from them. Firstly to kinda do a trial run of their delivery and products, and also...since we're going to the venue, I want to see how many branches I'll need per table and get a feel for the look.

A couple of reasons. I'm not opposed to it in certain places, but for centrepieces, we want real, just because it will be right in from of people and up close, fake greenery looks crappy. No matter how "good" it is, it still looks fake. Another reason is that we don't want to have to deal with them afterwards....like great.. now we have this greenery, and yeah I suppose we could sell it, but I don't really want to have to do that. Its also a more environmental choice.

Any particular reason you don't want fake? Good quality silk flowers can still look really good. I'm getting all of my flowers/greenery from Alibaba.com and putting everything together myself. You can literally get anything and it still looks great!

Have you tried bunches direct? They have a pretty good selection, but some items have minimum order requirements.

Have you met with any florists from Costco? I see some brides commenting that the online packages aren't quite what they need.... but I'm in a similar boat. Their wedding bouquet packages include boutonnieres and corsages, and I don't need them, but I do need an additional bridesmaid bouquet. I was going to contact them and ask if they can customize my order.

Perhaps they would be able to customize an order to have the one type of greenery you want?

If your timeline and schedule allows it, and you're willing to do it, DIY is almost always a more wallet friendly route... but remember, it can be very time consuming, and this would be right before your wedding, so it will be a busy time.
