Magnolias and Orange Blossoms?

FieldsMC

I'm a flower neophyte - help!!!  I'm from Florida and my fiancee is from Mississippi - I was thinking it would be neat to incorporate both state flowers into my bouquet.  Has anyone worked with these before?  I nosed around the internet and didn't find many examples, which makes me think maybe these types of flowers aren't used for bouquets.  Any thoughts or suggestions or insights would be appreciated!

i think that's a cute idea, definitely adds a personal touch! i found one bouquet online which says it has magnolias, orange blossoms, jasmine & some others--hopefully it's labeled right:





it could also be fun to have sliced oranges along the inside of the centerpiece vases, to tie in with th FL theme--maybe there's something else that you could add to represent his state?

I would have to avoid your reception.   Magnolias and orange blossoms are both very aromatic.   Quantities of these types of flowers would have people with allergies (like me) sneezing up a storm.  Could you add a third unscented flower to the plan to disperse some of the scent?

Those type of flowers would have to be special ordered, so you'd just have to ask your florist about availability.
