How can i get a texas licence to buy wholesale flowers?
Question:my father and stepmother are getting married through the church and we are having a family get together at our ranch home . I have always loved to do creative work and often buy retail flowers and arrange them. i would like to make the flower arrangments for the event but buying the flowers retial at the amount we need is not practicle. so i am trying to get a licence to buy wholesale flowers, but don't know how and search engines are no help. i do not need a vendors licence because i would only use it for my personal use or for buying and arrging as gifts. can anyone help?

Contact your local Sales Tax Office.

You need to find a business name for the Tax Number. $10.00 for a business name usually. Use to be $25.00 for the Tax Permit.
The only reason you need a license is to collect the tax when the flowers are sold. Tell the wholesale house you want to pay cash.
Do you have any friends in the flower business? If so, ask them if you can get a deal through them.
I bought all my flowers for my wedding at the local craft store. I know if you are pressed for time then this won't help. Hobby Lobby has their silk flowers on sale for half off several times a year. Right now the single stems are on half off until May 5. Bushes are half also. I used a whole bunch of bushes/garlands for my flowers. I cut them and arranged them how I wanted them.
Also other places like JoAnn's and Michaels have sale like this. I know if you have a Garden Ridge then that is an excellent place too.
Greetings,
I have baught wholesale flowers from www.nationalflowermart.com before and they were very friendly, and helpful. They ship nationawide for free! and seem to be very reputable as I was referred to them online, and can help you out with whatever flowers you need. They carry allot of diffrent kinds. We got roses, for our wedding which lasted 8 days! They were unbeleivable. Well I hope this helps good luck!
yes, you do need to get a business name, and a TAX id number. Even on some wholesale companies online, they require a tax ID...so go to the County for that!
