Question Flowers

Hey guys!
I need some help!
I am getting married this November, At the occidental grande resort..

I have a florist that is in my bridal party, who will be making my bridesmaids bouquets and center pieces when we get there.

My question is does anyone know if there is a flower market on the island were we can go and purchase the flowers needed at a reasonable price? I have been reading a lot that the flowers are imported in, which would make it difficult to find flowers the day before the event.

If there are no markets then I guess the next step is to find a florist and order them or order them from the hotel.

Any advise?
Thank you ahead!

Hello Spedebug,

This is the one I would recommend! We had a big wedding last month, that hired three professional florists from Florida to come down to do her whole wedding, and we called Elsa's who send one of her drivers to pick them up at the Westin drive them to the shop and provided them with a private viewing and first pick selection of their new shipment, and delivered everything that same night at 11:00pm to the hotel.
