Florist Supplies

Wholesale Products Loved
by Professional Florists

Florist supplies wholesale on the internet aren't always "wholesale". A true floral wholesaler requires you to provide proof that you are a retailer with a state tax identification number. Because a wholesaler doesn't charge sales tax, they are accountable to their individual states to prove that the products sold will eventually have sales tax collected by the retailing florist.

Most florist won't sell many of their designing products, simply because they would soon put themselves out of business! They are in the market to sell their labor skills, not just be a hobby or supply store. Any products sold are generally marked up 2 1/2 to 3 times their original price and then labor is added on top of that cost.

Oasis Florist Foam

Smithers-Oasis is known world wide for the quality of their florist foam and other fresh wedding flowers products. You can purchase it in bricks . This foam is remarkable in that is closely duplicates the actual structure of a flower stem cell. Oasis foam cylinders, more commonly known as cake foam, fits perfectly in the O'Bowl containers, which can be used in a variety of ways, including on top of tower Empire vases. Florist foam also comes in a variety of colors . Also very important is a couple of products that every florist uses when soaking their florist foam or cutting their fresh flowers.

Florist Tools

Quality florist tools are so important to a professional florist. I remember well that a florist rarely lets her flower knife stray too far from her hands! Also invaluable are other precision tools for cutting flowers, including floral snips , pruners for heavy, woody stems, and floral scissors . Remember to never cut flowers with regular scissors, since they tend to pinch the flower stems and cut off the water supply to the flower head. Other florist supplies wholesale, such as flower arranging supplies include pot glue, hot melt pans and other floral supplies. Wholesale products like these make projects easier, faster to design and look better when finished.
