Smell the Roses
Hooray for this enterprising web site selling bulk roses and other flowers.
As an avid internet shopper, I have organized most of my buying life around things I can easily access online. It saves time and allows me to organize everything right from my desktop without having to go out and be distracted by all the bling I see while shopping.
While there are a gazillion sites devoted to wedding dresses, party favors and catering, I haven’t really found somebody who’d be selling bulk flowers and flower arrangements for special occasions at wholesale prices. This is about the time I miss our tiny apartment on Dos Castillas [Sampaloc, Manila] where I used to buy a few dozen carnations every Friday night to bring home to mom for a fraction of the price you’d pay for at the flower shop. The strip is an extension of Dangwa flower market [popularized by the once "it" bus company whose Sampaloc terminal is a drop-off point for fresh flowers coming from Baguio and trasnported Dangwa buses].
Fiftyflowers.com offers a variety of flowers fit for anyone’s taste - roses, calla lilies, amaryllis, gerbera daisies and more - and budget.
You can choose from ready packages or do-it-yourself packages. Ready-to-use packages are fresh cut and hand made specially for your wedding or special event. It includes buttonaires, corsages, table centerpieces and entourage flowers.
DIY packages contain popular wedding flower combinations where you can choose your own colors to match your event motif.
