Florida Flowers & Orchids

I. Love. This. Place. I discovered this place after a friend raved about getting a ton of flowers for a luncheon for a great price, so I had to check it out when I planned a last minute wedding on a tight budget last year.
The flowers are so beautiful, fresh, and last forever! The staff is exceptionally helpful and friendly. My husband and I ordered all of our flowers for our wedding for a fraction of the usual cost for weddings. My husband has some experience working in a florist shop, but with the beauty of the flowers, they came together perfectly. The arrangements lasted for nearly 2 weeks! I also purchased some lovely flowers for a baby shower that I hosted – providing an expensive looking touch with minimal cost.
We just placed another order for my sister’s wedding. The flowers are so inexpensive here that it is cheaper for us to buy them here and drive them to Atlanta than to buy them anywhere in the Atlanta area.
You can stop in anytime to buy bunches of flowers, and they offer a great selection, but if you want something special, they will happily order any special flower from anywhere in the world.

I cannot say enough fantastic praise for this wholesaler. My (now) husband and I looked everywhere for a florist who could work with our small budget for our wedding reception and were unable to find someone who was determined to work with our budget, until we found Jason and his team.
Upon driving up to the location, it seemed a little odd as it is in a warehouse complex. Once going inside, the warehouse atmosphere was definitely still odd; however, after walking into the giant refrigerator, I fell in love. My husband and I wanted blush pink roses to go with our rustic theme and we were absolutely heartbroken to see there were none in the refrigerator. At that point we still had a few weeks to go and we asked Jason if they received different flowers often. Jason immediately jumped at the chance to help us and explained he would specifically reach out to their buyer to ensure we would have blush roses for our big day.
The pricing was incredible: each stem was $ 1 at the time we bought them, however market pricing does fluctuate. We ended up buying several hydrangeas, 75 roses, and several bunches of baby’s breath.
We have since moved about 45 minutes away to Clermont and I still stop by every couple of weeks to pick up a few flowers in stock for our home.

Sometimes great ideas just happen, and you have to act on them fast. Yesterday morning I thought «a flower sale would be a nice fundraiser event at Valentine’s Day».
One quick Unilocal search later and I found myself and Florida Flowers and Orchids.
Be warned, this is an industrial area and there didn’t seem to be any signage outside the business that indicated there were flowers (and not serial killers) inside. But I put my faith in Unilocal and ventured in.
Jason at the front desk greeted us and showed us to the walk-​in cooler where they keep the fresh flowers. They had a good variety of flowers and it was nice to know how long ago they were picked and how long they should stay fresh. I bought some hydrangeas and my co-​worker picked up the most fragrant lilies ever.
We asked about roses for our fundraiser and were told that we need to place our order next month (December) to make sure we get enough for Valentines Day. Lucky thing we stopped in when we did!
I also saw on another review that they offer flower arranging classes. I asked when the next one would be and he took my e-​mail and said he would send me the info when they have it scheduled. I think that sounds like loads of fun. Can’t wait to go back! =)

I was searching for a local flower warehouse in Orlando as I’m so used to them back home in Miami. My friend finally found Florida Flowers & Orchids online and gave them a call. Rob was able to provide us the information we were looking for and confirm they’re open to the public.
One Saturday morning we drove across town to check it out and it was a flower paradise. They have a very large refrigerated room with buckets upon bucket of different flower selections. They even had my favorite, Hydrangeas! I thought I would never find those and there it was!
I also took note they have a different selection of flowers outside of the refrigerated section. perhaps for fake flower arrangements? I didn’t go inspect it. However, they do provide the service of making professional flower arrangements.
One more thing they have is ORCHIDS! Rob will be able to give you more of an insight on them and where they come from (locally) along with price ranges.
Being a new event planner, I am thankful to have found this flower warehouse. I’ve been back twice now, will continue to go back and have brought new clients as well. You must go check them out and spread the word! I have :)

I’ve been disenchanted with Orlando’s lack of flower markets since I moved here. I certainly believe we have the population to support such a business. A year ago I couldn’t find a flower wholesaler on Google but decided to try again for my birthday party. I found this one right away and emailed one of the owners to make sure it was open to the public. Rob wrote back nearly immediately and let me know they had many flowers and I could come by any time.
This shop is in an industrial area of Orlando, right by the bread factory and near the SODO district. However, it didn’t give me a seedy vibe at all, probably because it was during the day.
We met Rob and he directed my friend and me to the giant flower fridge. He had many flowers available and from the sounds of it, he could special order just about anything.
Their cost is very reasonable! We walked away with two armloads of flowers for less than $ 40. This is certainly less expensive than the bouquets in Target or Publix.
I strongly recommend checking this place out if you’re having a party… from birthdays to baby showers as well as holiday arrangements. I’m so glad there’s finally a flower market in Orlando!

I visited Florida Flowers and Orchids for a flower arranging class I bought on Groupon. The class held about 12 people and was directed by a very peppy and informative, sometimes sassy, man. He started with a background on the multiple flowers we were going to be handling and also his credentials. He went step-​by-​step on how to cut and place the flowers in the base so that we could create a replica of his original piece. OJ and bubbly was also provided, so that made things even better! During the class the instructor did flower trivia for extra stems of orchids, which gave us something to chatter about at the tables. After finishing our arrangements the instructor asked some customers to judge them and gave the winner a free class. Unfortunately I didn’t win, but I did take home a lovely flower arrangement that lasted a solid two weeks. Lovely idea for a shower (bridal, baby, etc) or a girls night.
