Cherry Blossom Wedding-- Help Please!!

Brooklynnxx3NY

 We are planning on having a cherry blossom themed wedding on July 24th 2012. The only problem is cherry blossoms are no longer in bloom at that time. Is there any way we can order the blossoms for the wedding in the spring and keep them alive until the wedding, or maybe there is someone we can hire to do so? Please help!! Any advice or help is greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!!

You could maybe order freeze-dried blossoms and rehydrate them.  But if you want real flowers at all, out of season flowers = $$$$$, and since cherry blossoms are so tiny, you'd probably need a lot of them.  You might be better off looking for silks, or limit the cherry blossom to design elements like the invitations, the cake, etc.

Yeah, real one's just aren't going to work.  They're seasonal because cherry blossoms are for fruit.  I don't think it's possible to find them "out of season" because their season is very specific.  As a PP stated, I'd keep the design elements to color scheme, invites, cake, etc. 

If you google cherry blossom theme weddings, there are TONS of inspiration boards and other ideas oon how to accomplish this.

look into crab apple blossoms too.  The only real difference (depending on the tree) is that they are a little bit of a darker pink.  But they are a little bigger and not quite as delicate.
