Wedding flower vent.

Hi ladies.! I am kind of frantic right now because in my wedding I want to include poppys (orange,yellow,white,and red). I have contacted many florist and no one seems to have them. The poppy flower is very close and dear to my heart and I would love to have them at my wedding. Does anyone know of anybody who has poppy flowers?? You would be a lifesaver.Thanks in advance.

P.S. I was considering just buying the seeds and planting them myself,but I do not have a green thumb. I am horrible at planting.

    When is your wedding? Have you consider perhaps silk poppies?

    Try Thibodeaux's flowers - Paul Norman is fantastic and if you want poppies, he will try his best to get them for you if it's possible.

    Poppies only have a short season from February to May and are very temperamental.  Maybe the florist just can't get them for your wedding.  When are you getting married?

    I have a similar problem.  I love peonies but they just aren't available in late fall.  Sucks.  But maybe you can try silk flowers like a pp suggested.

    <div>Just FYI...my florist (Meade Wenzel) said florists can group carnations together to create the same effect as a peony.  Not sure if that's something you'd opt for, but it's a thought!</div>

    You may also want to consider garden or cabbage roses.  They have a very similar full look.

    What part of your wedding did you want the poppies for? If you are okay with just bridal bouquets or smaller things, you could check out this shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/PetalByPetal?ref=seller_info

    They make clay flowers/bouquets/etc. They actually look pretty realistic but may not be appropriate for reception displays; (I guess it depends on how much you're spending). Mayb you could order a few individual flowers.

    :)

    Thanks.  Meade will be doing my flowers as well, and she's going to be using garden roses :)
