One of the ways I intend to keep the cost of my wedding down is by buying all of the flowers myself in the flower market district in downtown Los Angeles. I know somebody who spent $150 for her wedding flowers and said she had more than enough. I have $200 budgeted, but that includes ribbon, possibly some vases, florist tape etc.<\/p>\n

“The LA Fashion District is home to the largest wholesale and retail floral selection in the <\/span>United States<\/span>. Focused along <\/span>8th Street<\/span>, virtually every v<\/span>ari<\/span>ety of cut flower can be found, plus potted plants, dried and silk flowers and floral supplies. The LA Flower Market, the largest flower market in the <\/span>United States<\/span>, is centered along Wall Street, between <\/span>7th Street<\/span> and <\/span>8th Street<\/span> and is the premier resource for those in the floricultural industry. The LA Flower Market is comprised of\u00c2\u00a0the American Florist Exchange and the Southern California Flower Market. Many other flower stores can be found on <\/span>8th Street<\/span>, between Wall Street and <\/span>San Pedro Street<\/span>. These stores are open to wholesale and retail during normal business hours and require no admission fee.”<\/span><\/p>\n Click here<\/a> for more info. Thanks for the link Corrina!
