Flowers came fresh and they turned out really great. I had many compliments on my bouquet. I would buy from them again and I would highly recommend 2G Roses.

2G was very responsive, helpful and flexible throughout the ordering process and up until the big day. I ordered 160 stems of daffodils, which were very reasonably priced. However, when they arrived, they were already too far open, most were damaged and the majority were not able to recover even though we quickly placed them all in water upon arrival. Luckily, imperfect flowers didn't ruin my wedding day, but it was a bit disappointing.

2G Roses was wonderful to work with. Their website is comprehensive, the selection is really great, and their delivery was spot-on. I ordered roses for my bridal bouquet, followed their instructions to have them delivered 2 days before the wedding, and they were perfect. I highly recommend this vendor.

We did all of our own flowers for the wedding and reception using 2G Roses, and they were fantastic! The flowers all arrived on time and in great condition - it was exactly what I ordered and there was no trouble at all.

We chose to arrange our own bouquets and floral arrangements to save money. I ordered 200 flowers from 2G roses and I'm so glad I did. I changed the address on the order three times and the lady who handled my order was so helpful and patient through it all. The flowers were in perfect condition when I received them and stayed fresh over a week. Best of all, I saved a bunch of money!

For any bride that is interested in doing her own flowers, 2G Roses is a great option. They were delivered right to my hotel room and looked beautiful. I would recommend looking at youtube videos and practicing if you are planning on arranging your own flowers before the big day.

Absolutely Perfect, more than I expected! I was very impressed with the quality of the flowers when they arrived. The flowers were so fresh and lasted for almost 2 weeks. I would suggest having them arrive 3 days before the wedding instead of 2...they were more open on the 3rd day and looked perfect, but I can't complain...the flowers were beautiful. Maybe if it was warmer weather they would have opened quicker?

Let me clarify for those who don't know: This is a wholesale flower provider that specializes in DIY weddings. They are NOT a floral design shop, though they do provide advice for DIY brides.
That said, they were amazing! I picked out my flowers and placed the order, and someone immediately called me to confirm and discuss my choice. I chose daffodils, so she mentioned right off that they are a finicky flower and depending on the weather, they might not be available, so would I mind if they substituted narcissus if that happens? She made sure I was comfortable with everything before confirming my order. They also delay charging your credit card until 2 weeks before hand, so that was nice. My flowers arrived with two pages of care instructions, and once I made the bouquets, they lasted another 5 days after the wedding! That's fresh!
Definitely definitely recommend them for the DIY bride.

The flowers we ordered from 2G roses were BEAUTIFUL and very fresh looking. They exceeded our expectation and we were very happy that we picked them. The customer service was fabulous, they went out of their way to insure we got what we wanted. The shipping was very fast as well.

We loved using 2G Roses. The flowers were beautiful and arrived right on time, the Thursday before our wedding. 125 roses and a bunch of baby's breath were securely packed and fresh when we opened them. The directions were very easy to follow to take care of the flowers and turn them into bouquets and corsages. The only problem we had was that 4 of the 25 ivory roses' heads fell off in shipping, so my bouquet was slightly smaller than i planned. This didn't happen to any of the 100 pink roses though, so maybe it's a problem with the specific color? 2G was very professional and great to work with. I would highly recommend them- you can't beat the price and our handwrapped bouquets looked professional!

My flowers arrived in perfect condition and I got exactly what I ordered. I ordered Leonidas, Oceana and Vendala roses, and Orange Calla Lillies. Be aware though that the roses are on the smaller side. We knew to expect that so it was fine. The orange calla lilies were more of a bi-color orange/yellow with some being all yellow which I didn't expect. There were enough orange ones though for what I needed.

The flowers were beautiful! They were delivered to the wrong home, but that was the fault of UPS not 2G Roses. The test batch they sent us was definitely indicative of the great flowers we got. Customer service was lovely to work with and went out of their way to make sure we got what we wanted.

The flowers arrived on time and we got exactly what we ordered. The roses opened up beautifully by the wedding day. It was simple to make the bouquets and they included many instructions and suggestions with the flowers. The flowers looked gorgeous in the photos!

My flowers were fresh and beautiful. The only problem we had were that the white spray roses were light pink instead. Other than that, all of my arrangements were lovely.

I recommend 2G Roses for anyone wanting to save $ on their wedding flowers with one big warning....put your order in early! I didn't realize how important that was until the roses I had my heart set on (Leonidas) were suddenly not available due to a spike in demand around fall and I was very low on their priority list because I had gotten my order in only a week or 2 in advance. They were professional enough to call me and let me know this and inform me of my options, which I appreciated but the attitude I got from one of their reps wasn't helpful. She told me that some brides put their order in one year in advance, and that I should have sent in my order when I got engaged (5 months prior to my wedding) in order to guarantee that I would have gotten the roses I wanted! I didn't even know about the company nor order my wedding test roses from them until 2 months before my wedding, so that was impossible!.
True it was my own fault for not getting my order in faster, but I didn't realise that these specific roses would be such specialty or quite so seasonal. Yes, their FAQ's say to put your order in ASAP to guarantee what you want, but I think their website should put a * or something by whatever products are that seasonal when you place the order initially so that you understand this clearly right at the checkout.
2G's prices were great, and the other premium roses I did buy from them were lovely, as well as all the greenery & hypericum berries. I ended up getting my Leonidas roses from the local florist who did the rest of my flowers (bouquets and other stuff that I didn't want to mess with the day before) and had to pay 4x 2G's price to get them! So their prices can't be beat.
I recommend buying their wedding test flowers FAR advance of your wedding. I did, and that's what led me to believe that I could do my centerpieces myself with the help of friends and family. Otherwise, 2 florists had both quoted me $80 PER CENTERPIECE, and that wasn't going to work with my budget. It didn't take a lot of time to put together 12 centerpieces but was much easier with the right tools...sharp clippers to cut off stems and a rose dethorner as well as an assembly line of family and friends to help out. I did part of it myself the day the roses arrived FedEx, the dethorning and the cutting off the stems and putting the flowers into the water and it took hours solo, so get help for that part too!
My friend and her mother helped in the assembly line the day before my wedding and were so impressed with the how everything turned out that they too are using 2G for my friend's wedding this June! (as well as a local florist for the bouquets and boutenieres).

We received the flowers right on schedule 2 days before our big day. And the next day we had a flower making party that helped so much with my girls. If you are within a budget. Doing your own wedding flowers will save you money.

Beautiful and helpful! I sent them a picture and they told me the kind of flowers that would achieve that look and how many of each stem appromiately were in each bouquet. Always got back to me quickly and the flowers arrived when promised in great condition!

Roses came on time and as ordered. Company was good about allowing changes to order before the big day. Prices were great, so if you have the guts to take on the project yourself, this is a great company.

Oh my gosh-- this is an amazing find. A friend recommended this site to me since I was on an extremely tight budget for my wedding and couldn't afford to pay a florist hundreds or thousands of dollars. The way it works is that they grow the flowers and ship them directly to you in bulk- it cuts out the middle man. You arrange the flowers yourself. Now I'll admit that I was terrified about doing this, but it turned out so amazing.. The flowers arrive 2 days before your wedding (so for a Saturday wedding, they arrive on Thursday). You simply cut put them in water for that day and arrange them the next. They tell you exactly how to care for the flowers and are willing to help you with arrangements via phone if necessary. I found a million easy how-to articles for assembling bouquets, corsages, etc. Me and my bridesmaids simply had an "arranging party" the day before the wedding. It was mindless, relaxing work and gave us a chance to hang out with each other. And they turned out beautifully. Seriously. And the best part? The prices. We got 200 white 14 inch roses for around $120 plus shipping. That comes out to less than a dollar per rose. Unbeatable. Definitely worth it. I would use them again in a heartbeat.
