• Website: www.rjcarbone.com
• Carries low-end to premium silk lines.
• Ships nationwide; online ordering.
• Quality correlates with price—order samples first.

Why Not Direct from Manufacturers?

• Minimums: tens of thousands of units per SKU.
• Manufacturers protect wholesaler territories.
• No small-order fulfillment.

Vetting Tips

1. Request swatch cards / stem samples (pay if needed).
2. Check return policy on color mismatch.
3. Join floral industry groups (SAF, AIFD) for peer-reviewed vendor lists.

Start with a $200–300 test order across 3–4 categories (roses, hydrangeas, greenery, filler). Evaluate stem wire gauge, petal texture, colorfastness.
