It can cost you a bundle, but there are many ways to save yourself a bundle. Check out wholesalers in your area. You can use flowers from your own garden or the garden of friends; you can even use flowers from street vendors or the grocery store. Or try online shopping.

When you have purchased your fresh flowers cut off about an inch at an angle under water and put into a bucket of water until you're ready to arrange them.
