Anyone know...ribbons. Repost from BHB

Does anyone know any ribbon wholesellers? I am needing alot of grosgrain ribbon for my wedding. I don't want to have to spend alot of $$ on it though

I actually just got back from a ribbon hunt in the city. I used this list of ribbon stores I got from a web site -

So-Good
28 West 38th Street
(212) 398-0236
Open Monday to Friday
A mess of a store; cheapest with huge selection.

Tinsel Trading
47 West 38th Street
(212) 730-1030,
www.tinseltrading.com
Open Monday to Friday
A ribbon boutique, beautifully arranged by color.

Hyman Hendler
67 West 38th Street
(212) 840-8393,
www.hymanhendler.com
Open Monday to Friday
Beautiful and fanciful French silk ribbons and a large selection of grosgrain. Just as dusty and decrepit as So-Good.

M&J Trimmings
(Button store two doors down)
1008 6th Avenue
between 37th and 38th Streets
(212) 391-9072,
www.mjtrim.com
Open Monday to Saturday
This isn't a store, it's an event. The content is mind-boggling: ribbons and sequins and appliques, oh my! M&J Buttons is two stores away. Don't go midday when it's swarming with garmentos on their lunch breaks

Mokuba
55 West 39th Street
(212) 869-8900
Open Monday to Friday
Just ribbons. Exquisite variety displayed in a museum-like ambiance. Very Expensive but definitely worth aspiring to. It's important to have a business card available to give to the salesperson. Here's their idiosyncratic procedure: don't handle anything yourself. After you've decided what you want, an assistant follows you around with a cart and cuts what you ask for.

After going to all these stores, I finally ended up buying what I needed at a place called Daytona on 39th between 7th and 8th that someone at one of the stores recommended. The ribbon was $.16 for 100 yards!

BUMP. I went to MJ Trimmings yesterday and purchased many things for my DIY projects. You can spend hours browsing to your hearts content.
