Stacy says
I’d like to use garden roses and lilacs, and use the bridesmaids bouquets as centerpieces…
Ali says
I’m thinking pink ranculas and hydrangeas for bouquets and boutonnieres. Haven’t figured out centerpieces yet!
Amanda I says
I’d get the hydrangeas and some curly willow. Maybe also a little dianthus and star of bethlehem. I’d put the flowers in the antique mason jars I’ve been collecting.
Talia says
Would love to use cottage roses, spray roses, lisianthus, and seeded eucalyptus for the bouquets and bouts. White hydrangea would go in antique aqua mason jars (belonging to my future hubby :3), and cottage roses would be floated in small bowls as centerpieces.
Jen D. says
The soft purple grey of thistles, drape from some red amaranthus, maybe peonies or something as full for the bouquet. Iris and delphiniums for pops of purple as table centerpieces.
McKenzie says
I would love to use white anemones, ranunculus and sweet pea or hydrangea in my bouquet and the bridesmaid’s bouquets. Anemones for the men would look stunning too–I LOVE their dark centers! For centerpieces, anemone and sweet pea/hydrangea in milk glass vases surrounded by votive candles… I’m getting giddy just thinking about the sea of flowers and candlelight!
heather says
I can’t get the Blooms by the Box site to open, but I can tell you I’m a sucker for ranunculus, sweet pea and anemone. I’d like to incorporate some or all of these into a bouquet with either oak leaves or wheat, as we’re having an outdoor Autumn wedding with the reception at a barn.
Cheers,
*Heather*
Dillan Rodrigue says
I love the white football and cremon mums as well as the white cottage roses. They would look wonderful in my milk glass vases 🙂
Sara says
I’m having an all-white reception, so I would LOVE their white hydrangeas and peonies.
lindsey k says
What a great giveaway. We’re getting married in October and going for a harvest color scheme. I would go with sunflowers, billy balls, and mums
Ashley says
I must have those burgundy mini calla lilies for the bouquets! Since they’re mini, I would use them for bouts too! And because my reception venue is white, I think the burgundy would add such a great rich punch of color for a late fall wedding. Everything I can think of, the solution is burgundy mini callas! And blooms by the box are so well priced. You get the great feeling that $200 would actually get you a lot of flowers!! Thanks for the giveaway!!
Rachel says
I love delphiniums and think it’s great that this website includes them! My ceremony is in a rustic setting with a lot of oak trees and think the delphiniums will ad a pop of color while still having that rustic feel.
Katie R says
I’ve already planned on doing my own flowers for my wedding in August. But, I was in search of a credible wholesale online flowerist. I love what Blooms by the Box has to offer! I’m wanting to use all yellow flowers for my wedding.
wendy says
I’ve been dreaming of just very simple white and blue hydrangeas in milk glass bowls… i would totally use the gorgeous white and blue ones that they have in milk glass as centerpieces!!
Lindsay L says
I am DYI-ing my sister’s flowers for her wedding and then I will be doing my own the following spring. Since I am having a French romantic themed wedding I would love to have access to blooms by the box peonies. They are so light and airy and would look perfect in my centerpieces and bridesmaid bouquets!
Danielle says
@Heather,
I’m so sorry you can’t get on our site!

Good Luck!
Monica says
I am planning the florals for one of my husbands’ lifelong friends’ wedding this summer — I’d love to surprise the bride by adding some gorgeous peonies & garden roses to the bouquets!
Lee says
I love those beautiful garden roses! I would love to have a random assortment of different clusters of flowers for a spring-time table setting! Some of my other favorites for this would be tulips, larkspur, freesia, and lavender; really whatever is best for the season. For a bouquet, I think white garden roses with red spray roses would look beautiful!
Jeanette says
I plan to keep things simple with a bunch of Hydrangea Large (Blue). It’s the perfect match for our sapphire blue and lime green color pallette.
Nicole says
My fiance and I are paying for most of the wedding ourselves so we’re trying to seriously budget, but flowers are one thing we’re somewhat splurging on. We’re planning to splurge on peonies (my favorite!) using empty glass containers and jars as vases. I would love, LOVE a break from Blooms by the Box!
Laura says
I already have beautiful flowers for my wedding, but I would LOVE to be able to use this to get flowers for my mother and mother-in-law, as the smallest way to thank them for everything.
Karen says
My husband’s brother is getting married in April and I’d love to use a box of Blooms by the Box for her shower decor.
Whitney says
If I had to choose flowers without considering prices, I would use monte casino aster (white), pompon button (yellow),pink lisianthus, white peonies (to hand out to the honored guests attending) and (my favorite flower) waxflower (cream). However, I would be happy with any kind of flower. There aren’t many flowers that I don’t like.
I would use the flowers for centerpieces, bouquets, boutonnieres, to hand out (with a handwritten note tied on to the stem) to honor important guests.
Although it is unlikely, I love that there is a possibility I could have real flowers for my June wedding!
Lena says
Love Love Love queen anne’s lace!!! Lots of it . . .maybe some baby’s breath and lots of green leaves, maybe palm.
Candace says
How amazing! My lovely sister is creating all of my flower arrangements- this would be a great start!
Annie Lux says
Ooh, curly willow, bear grass, and I need some sheet moss for the escort card table. I’ll have to wait for the summer collection to see what’s available in white to match my background flora.
Nicole Barnard says
I have a large blue-gray flower design on my dress, which has made selecting flower colors and shapes difficult. I have decided to go with white peonies, cream stock and a touch of pink/peach stock for bouquets. These will be added in with a few yellow stock in vases on the tables.
Megan Dunford says
My little sister is getting married in the Spring and wants all peonies! I want to win these flowers for her!
Katie says
I would love to help a friend out who is getting married soon with some flowers! I personally love the combo of some beautiful kale with pussy willows and bells of Ireland…so many options!
Heather says
I am getting married in July and we want to have tall vases with white or blue hydrangeas and curly willow as our ceremony decor, and green and blue hydrangeas in our bouquets and centerpieces. I want to diy as much as possible and Blooms by the Box looks like a great resource!
Robin says
The light pink peonies would look great for the spring wedding.
Belinda says
hygrangeas, anemones, peonys and dusty miller. I pale pink, gray and pale orange. These are my must haves
Jeannine says
I have a fascination with greenery that has texture. I’d probably mix that with hydrangea and maybe some in season flowers when the time comes. 🙂
elizabeth says
mums, anemones and queen anne’s lace for me!
Lauren A. says
I would definitely use the white hydrangeas for centerpieces! They are amazing!
anna says
peonies (pink & white) will always be my flower of choice. I would display them in my collection of blue mason jars and pink depression ware my Grandma collected for my {future} wedding.
Sacha says
I would use massive bunches of babies breath to contrast with the industrial feel of my venue (it’s a historic distillery building). And orchids are my all-time favs, so I would incorporate them into centerpieces too!
Danielle says

beth says
We’re DIYing all of our flowers and are working with a local farm to grow a bunch of lovely spring flowers. Unfortunately, they can’t grow all of the ones we’d like, so this would be amazing!
Megan Gildow says
I would LOVE to use Bloom by the Box’s peonies for the bouquets at our May wedding. They are such a gorgeous flower and would look great with our pink and aqua wedding.
For centerpieces, we want to do the submerged orchids.
Cate says
My best friend is getting married in May and desperately needs these gorgeous flowers as her centerpieces! Peonies are a must 🙂
Tiffany B says
Oh my heart would flutter if we could get some white Gerbera Daisies for our our wedding. We have spent a year collecting small milk bottles so that we could put some special flowers in them for our center pieces. I think these flowers and our adorable milk bottles we quickly become friends.
Laura S. says
I would love some of the gardenias, I’m trying to incorporate that flower into the wedding as much as I can, it means eternal love, and has a special meaning to me. I can’t afford real flowers for my wedding, since I’m paying for it myself, so this would be an amazing thing to win!
Katie says
I will be using fall flowers from Blooms by the Box in my wedding!
Beth says
id love to use white freesia in our centerpieces! we are going for a loose organic feeling when it comes to our flowers!
Chelsea says
I’m planning to use a ton of bright, colorful flowers for the centerpeices on our tables at the weddings. Their peonies, chrysanthemums and snapdragons are beautiful!
abi says
I would love to use Hydrangea (preferably antique, but I’ve been told by 2 florists that they are not available in early June) as well as pink Peony. Most importantly I would carry them both in my bouquet and pin a peony to my handsome groom. I would also love to have them line my aisle hanging from shepards hooks and adorn my reception tables.
emily f. says
Oh my goodness! What an awesome giveaway! I’m actually coo coo for Peonies! I think it would be awesome to have clusters of them in all different bottles, vases, jars and short little mercury glass votives on each table- instead of one large centerpiece.
Yvette F. says
I would love beautiful roses to make hanging flower balls!
Bumee says
Ranunculas and garden roses for centerpieces!!
Erin A. says
I’d use Limonium (Misty Blue), Delphinium (Dark Blue), Stock (Cream), Hypericum (Green), and lots more!
Kristy says
Where to begin when there’s so many choices?! Such a great site and resource for brides! I LOVED that the site has sunflowers. I plan to scatter some around the reception site, having bridesmaids carry them, and placing some in pitcher-like vases in memory of my late grandmother who I adored, and she adored sunflowers. They always make me think of her and I would love having a reminder there of her at my wedding since she can’t physically be there.
Laura says
I’m still deciding on exact flowers for my white/cream/yellow color scheme, but it’s awesome to see so many choices!!
Kate Eileen Emmert says
I love peonies…everywhere!
Jillian says
For our vintage inspired fall wedding I would use the white football mums, both in the bridesmaids bouquets paired with some hypericum (excellent flair)and in some of our milk glass and/or mason jar vases we are using as centerpieces. I would also use the queen annes lace and the mini burgundy and orange calla lilies in our centerpieces.
Lauren says
I’d love to order some of the pink and white peonies, seeded eucalyptus, pink and white lisianthus, Gyspophila, white stock, white freesia, and some others from local florists! Amazing giveaway – thanks for the chance to win!
holly says
i would get the floral prep so i could try my hand at the boutineers for our men!
Jennifer says
I would use a single stem of the mini purple calla lilies for each of the men’s boutonnieres. I would line serving plates for hors d’oeuvre with Monstera and a huge bunch of peonies for my bouquet.
Amy T says
Wow! I have been wanting to do the boutonnieres myself for my wedding but have yet to find a place to buy the flowers, this is great! I would use pussy willow stems, billy balls and peonies as center pieces.
Hillary H. says
Blooms by the Box is awesome, because I LOVE when websites make DIY bridal projects sound totally possible and fun.
I’m having a may wedding, and right now I’m really drawn to bold purple tulips. So pretty!
DeAnna Bray says
My color is lavender/lilac and we are going to do white roses and other white flowers with some lavender colors mixed in. The boutinniers? I would like white roses and we are having 2 large bouquets, one on each side of the arch. We are also trying to come up with something for the table centerpieces and the bridal table.
Danielle says

Alyssa says
I love the wildflower look and really like the fillers and the larkspur flowers on the site! It would fit nicely into my garden wedding!
Kendra says
I would spend all $200 on light pink peonies! All I want for my June wedding is peonies, everywhere!!
Hazel says
I would use hydrangeas and peonies for my wedding bouquet!
Kelly says
This website is great! I want bright colorful flowers for my reception centerpieces so this would be the perfect touch!
Raquel says
Our wedding is in June and I had already planned on doing my own flowers since we are working with a small budget. Winning this contest would help us out soooo much! I would get yellow ranunculus, sweet peas, and white hydrangeas to use in blue mason jars & antique medicine bottles I’ve been collecting for the past year. Keeping my fingers crossed & hoping to win!
Jeannie says
Oh, my! What a great new resource! I’m so partial to peonies and hydrangea, but any flower in quantity can be magnificent.
Liz says
The gerber daisies, hydrangeas, and peonies! The snapdragons! There is so much here that we could incorporate into the wedding–from bouquets to centerpieces. How exciting! 🙂
Jen says
Larkspur, billy balls, tulips, sunflowers. These flowers would look great in my centerpieces and for my girls bouquets.
So many beautiful flowers to choose from at great prices…Winning this giveaway would be amazing 🙂
