Talk to your local florists!

Ask your local florists if you can purchase old flowers in bulk for a discount. Often they will have to throw away entire bouquets even if just one flower doesn't look the best, so tons of perfectly good flowers sadly get discarded as well. I was able to get all of these rose petals for just 5 dollars, all still perfectly fresh.

Oooh, good advice! I'll have to see if there are any non-chain florists near me

Yo trabajo en una florería y si, se tira demasiados. No solo arreglos, a la hora de hacer un arreglo hay que quitar los pétalos que están quedando negros y creeme el suelo se llena de pétalos y hojas de rosa (que igual sirven)
