Hello,
I sell mainly wedding bouquets etc. either ready made or done to order, on my website.
It has taken a long time to get the supplies I want.
Some of the basics, like decent roses, I travel down to Yorks or Glasgow for, SIA do lovely quality flowers and my best find was a small wholesaler about 10 miles from home! They export loads of their thistles and heathers to USA.
There are not really any decent large wholesalers up here, you have to travel to get the good stuff.
I would have liked to get another shop, but the only one I fancied was 33miles away. You get used to having to travel, but I dont want to do that daily, so opted for the internet and just silks.
