My girlfriend is getting married in Mexico and is have a lot of stuff shipped there ahead of time. The only problem is there is no way to ship the bouquets and no flower shop there. Plus Customs has a 450% mark up tax on anything that is shipped or made anywhere other than the U.S. Has anyone encountered this problem? Any Ideas I could give her?

She is getting married at a resort and they are only providing her with one bouquet. She needs 4 more for the bridesmaids.

contact the concierge desk at the hotel/resort she will be staying at and voice the concerns to them. They should be able to make plenty of reccomendations as to how to handle the flower situation. It is quite possible that they have their own florist that they use for their arrangements take care of her bouquet.
If not, check out a local florist when you get there. Bring your ribbon with you and buy some long stemmed flowers and tie them together!
If she doesn't like this idea, make a fake bouquet ahead of time and pack it with her things.
Good luck! I think personally that contacting a local person with your hotel, will be the easiest way to get the best outcome.

Whoever is helping her plan her wedding in Mexico will be able to help her find flowers. In general it's a hassle to ship plants and flowers through customs (even dried ones) so don't bother. If she is having problems have her contact a large hotel around where she is getting married...they probably have someone to help them with their flowers so they will be able to give her some names.
Good luck.

Can you have artificial bouquets made and shipped....there are quite a few people that make really pretty bouquets made from silk flowers. They do look real.
