Im having my wedding done in november but havent started to look into florist. Last year I bought most of my wedding things and I had bought fake flowers at micheals. I so far made one bridemaid bouquet with burnt orange,red and white roses, and a hint of yellow. For my bouquet i bought white roses and little red roses to insert into the middle. I also want to use real flowers during ceremony and reception but not sure if I will be able to find the flowers I want in real. Some of the flowers that I like dont bloom during the fall in Florida. Any Ideas for fall looking flowers ?

    Flowers nowadays are shipped from all over the world on a daily basis, so most are available year round.  They don't necessarily have to be in season locally in order to get them.

    There's nothing wrong with using artificial flowers if that's what works for you.  Mixing real and fake is a little pointless though.  If anything, I'd do fresh flowers for the ones that will be worn or carried, as those are "gifts" to your wedding party.  Flowers for the reception are purely for decoration.

    If you are worried about certain flowers not being available for your wedding, there are usually other flowers that will work just as well.  The color will be more what guests notice, or what will be more noticeable in the photos, not the subtle details.

    You don't have to use only "Fall" type flowers, but most varieties of mums, daisies, roses, carnations, alstromerias, hydrangea, etc... are available year round.

    I thought about using real flowers for my aisler and for my centerpieces During the reception. Everything else I can do fake. The reason I chose Fake is because I can always keep it. The reason I want to use real is  because to me it throws a more elegant look. Im not the best wedding planner or decor. Im doing the wedding planning all by myself no help so its very hard for me what to chose and what not to chose especailly when it comes to what my Fiance and I would like.
