Where can I find a wholesale flower shop in Atlanta, that doesn't require a business license?

I live in atlanta and I want to make my own Boutonnieres , bouquets and corsages. Where should I go? Or is there a place I can go to do it for cheap. I have 8 brides maids and 8 groomsmans, thats why i can't pay the regular prices on the flowers. I am doing a brown and pink wedding. So I am looking for roses or carnations in diffrent types of pink and white. Any ideas, anyone. Thanks

Not sure specifically about the Atlanta area, but I did just discover that you can go to samsclub.com and order bulk flowers wholesale though the website and have them delivered straight to your home for a really reasonable price! That's what I'm doing

i would call or go to some grocery stores. they have floral dpts and are pretty cheap. they can either hook you up with a deal or suggest a way to get what you are looking for. since you have a large bridal party they might be able to order flowers at cost and sell them to you at their price, or just over. you can try to call the dpt of commerce or chamber of commerce... they might have info on wholesale flower markets in your area. you might also call a bridal consultant and just ask if they know of any places. hopefully they will be nice and tell you and not be all sorry you need to pay me for my info/sources

I don't know about wholesale, but where I live, there are public markets that have lots of flower vendors. http://www.pickyourown.org/gafpfm.phphttp://atlanta.about.com/od/shopping/tp/atlfarmersmrkts.htmhttp://www.piedmontpark.org/programs/GM_Merchants.htmlI'd look at these sites, and see if they have vendors who sell flowers, and if they will help you out in any way.Good luck, and Congratulations!

I'm not sure about Atlanta, but here in LA (and also in NYC), the wholesale flower market is open to the public only one day a week at a certain time. Call the shop and see if they open to the public anytime.

If you are not using fresh flowers, then I would go on the internet type in wholesale flowers. I did this for a banquet in February and ordered flowers for the centerpieces. A lot of these sites also sell the bouquet holders, ribbons just about everything you need for your wedding party. Their prices are great and less then what you would pay at store. Also a lot of these places have free shipping if you order a certain dollar amount.
