So I am having a bit of a dilemma. I am having a destination wedding of sorts in Golden, B.C. (for those of you who have never heard of it, Golden is a small mountain town 6 hours from Edmonton, which is where I live). Unfortunately Golden does not have a florist. On occasion the local grocery store sells flowers but this is irregular and they do not guarantee that they will have any flowers at the time of my wedding (July 2, 2011). From what I can tell, the nearest town with a florist is Banff, 140 km away. The nearest big city (with many florist options) is Calgary, at 170 km away. I really have my heart set on fresh flowers but I'm not sure what to do to get them.
Do you think I could pick up the flowers for the wedding the day before and have them last into the evening of my wedding day? I'm mostly concerned about driving in a hot car with them and what to do with them once I get them to my destination - I doubt I'd have a big enough fridge to store them in overnight.
Any suggestions on florists or how to go about this??
