Is There Such a Thing as Inexpensive Orchids?

If you want to use orchids in your wedding bouquet or even for your centerpieces, consider buying whole plants at Home Depot or Whole Foods. This will often save you quite a bit of money over ordering them by the stem. And this way you'll have the plants to enjoy as they bloom year after year.

I've bought orchids at both Whole Foods and Home Depot, they were just as nice as the ones from the florist. In fact know a florist who buys his there too!

My Whole Foods Orchids are still blooming several years after I purchased them, so I think you can be pretty sure they have quality plants.

Am arranging my own orchids, buying them by the stem myself is WAY cheaper than the florists markup

I love orchids but I think we're going with roses for my wedding, maybe a stray orchid here and there.

Paula, just in case u need a source for your roses, try BJs Warehouse Club online, I know they sell them by the 100s.
