Updated with Link to Pics - Inexpensive FLOWERS - I got 100 lavender short-stemmed roses from farmdirect.com
All the ladies at work keep coming by to look. LOL LOL
FI thought it would be a good idea especially since we are thinking of doing our own flowers.
ETA: The purple roses from proflowers.com are much more purple. These look a bit pink to me. I will post pics later.
They arrived today as scheduled and I have them all in vases right now. I took them out and cut the stems as the directions state. I cut the stems on 11 of them way more than the others since I had to put them in a bubble bowl vase - ran out of vases for 100 roses. LOL 8 of the 11 are open already. I suspect this is the case since the water has less of a stem to travel through?
Not all of them have opened up but so far the ones that have opened are very pretty.
About 35 of them are open now. I suspect they will all be open by tomorrow morning.
I will report back then. I guess they would normally arrive 2 - 3 days before the wedding ??? Hopefully they are all open in 3 days.
