Yesterday the flowers came in and not quite how I expected. Newport Mom and Mr. Newport were both home on Friday, which we planned so they could work together and take care of the 100 roses we ordered. We thought it would be a huge ordeal.
Here's Newport dog a.k.a. Sky, or Sky pup, Luke Skywalker, Skyler, Sky sky Cutie pie, you( get the picture) guarding the flowers.
And here is how the flowers arrived, I bet you weren't expecting this box when I said we were getting a 100 flower delivery, yup, I wasn't either. Apparently Mr. Newport and Newport mom weren't either because they took a ton of photos so I would be able to see it and share it all with you.
Looks like they were handled with care.
The quality was good. They recommend having the flowers delivered two days before the event, to allow the flowers time to open up. So a Friday delivery was perfect timing.
Here they are after lots of unwrapping and triming. If you order flowers in bulk, Newport mom recommends having scissors and plenty of buckets filled with water ready. We also picked up 10 Hydrangea bunches from the Boston Flower Exchange. I can't wait to share what we did with them! stay tuned!
Have you ordered flowers online before? Was it a positive experience? Which website did you go to?

Boston Flower exchange? OoOoh... tell me more. Were you able to just walk in?
I can't wait to see the final product! It sounds like it was a lot of work! Good luck!
Hi, just found your blog. You have the cutest dog and I love Costco's flower selection, too! It's good to know that they look just as beautiful when you order themm in bulk.
So pretty. I've always wondered about their quality. Looking forward to seeing what you will do with them!
The flowers look beautiful!! I love Costco - I always spend waaay too much money when I'm there. They also have a great photo department. Whenever I need prints I go there :)
@ Margot, the building I work at actually has their own florists and they picked the flowers up for us from the Boston Flower Exchange, so I didn't work with them directly. I'm not sure if you can walk in or not, I think you may need to be a legitimate florist.
@ Carly, I always spend way too much too! I think I'm getting bargains so I add things to my cart and end up with just a few items and a $100 bill.
::oh sigh:: that's what I thought. I so want to get a peek inside one day!
Me too Margot! The florists in our building come back every week with new unique and beautiful flowers, I'd love to go myself!
