Flower POLL: what are you using? Sept flower HELP!

elliemonster2012 · June 2012

Hi ladies

I am actually a Sept 2013 bride (yay!) but am trying to get a good idea of what I want before I start contacting florists and things start getting crazy (we have...ready for it...11 weddings from Jan 2013 until ours (9-21-13). And not just random friends/family...both of our best friends, closest cousins and a sibling are all getting married!)

My question is...what kind of flowers are you using? I am in absolute LOVE with peonies, which I know can be pretty out of the question for fall, but looking for other big fluffy flowers to give the same look.

Ready...set..GO!

Dahlias and lily are in season. We are doing those and wildflower mixes from the farmers market.

em105 · June 2012

Hydrangeas and Garden Roses are two reasonably in-season options that will give you that same gorgeous, lush look as peonies.

Bonus for Hydrangeas: just a few stems makes a whole boquet- see pic-

We're doing blue hydrangeas and white roses with very little greenery except for a little rosemary (we love to cook) and some lemon leaves.

This will be my bouquet...

White roses and feathers

Feathers are always in season LOL

cronin85 · June 2012

I'm using orchids and Lillies

sheikscorpio88 · June 2012

I'm having red roses.

kellycatalo · June 2012

yes, hydrangeas. and white and green roses. and ranunculus.

elliemonster2012 · June 2012

Thanks ladies!! I'll be lurking to check out all of your pics!

ALMOST TIME!!

lbarr088 · June 2012

Calla lillies and a bunch of other flowers that I couldn't be bothered with remembering their names. I'm a bad bride

jjswin · June 2012

All Ivory Roses for me and Circus Roses for my girls. I love love love Circus Roses.

CowgirlK39 · June 2012

Sunflowers, gerber daisies, regular daisies, black eyed susans, and anything else that looks wild. And corn stalks and wheat.

By no choice of my own, I will also have pumkins, since the farm we are getting married on will be doing all their picking as we get married. They will stop their tractors long enough for us to say "I do" and then they are back at it!

THANK YOU. That was so helpful and super pretty!

Kello4221 · June 2012

Sorry about the caps, but I just copied and pasted this from my florists email: BRIDAL BOUQUET CONSISTING OF A GATHERING OF YELLOW DAHLIAS, WHITE LISIANTHUS, CRASPEDIA, GREEN BOUGAMI ORCHIDS, GREEN LISIANTHUS, GREEN SPIDER MUMS

ErinW1912 · June 2012

My flowers are hot pink princess roses, white freesia (b/c it is pretty and smells good), hot pink callilies. and ocean blue pearl accents

my BM will have white gerber daises either with black centers (originally wanted amenoes sadly not in season) or white gerber daises with clear center with hot pink or ocean blue pearl accents

egm900 · June 2012

Gather pictures of what you like before you go, even if it isn't possible for them to get that type of flower, the florist should know of other things that look similar. I also wanted peonies, but my wedding is during the 2 weeks of the year my florist cannot get them. She's subbing in other things that are similar, no clue of the names though, she would hand me a picture and say do you like this and I would yes or no it.

QueerFemme · June 2012

I'm using white hydrangeas, lime green button mums and wine colored daisies with white tips. These are the flowers (very loosely gathered, and not assembled, but you get the idea).

alliashley · June 2012

Orange Roses, orange lillies and wildflowers!

SCogs18 · June 2012

Hey! How fun to find a Sept 2013 bride! I used to lurk on 9/11 every once in a while. My biggest suggestion is to bring pictures of what you like to your floral appointments. We are going for a lush fall theme (red damask table cloths, fall flowers) and we are using dahlias, roses, spray roses, mokara orchids, mini green hydrangeas, and hypericum berries at the reception. The ceremony is completely white. My bouquet wiill be roses and mini calla lillies.

volleygurl0306 · June 2012

I wanted anemones but they aren't in season. I found a florist who was willing to work with real touch flowers (a high quality fake flower). So I am doing anemones for my girls and the guys and my bouquet will be hydrangeas and a few anemones. It came out cheaper than real flowers (especially since there is no delivery fee...I am picking them up 2 days before the wedding since they wont die) and we'll be able to keep them forever.

mspurr · June 2012

I am doing strictly white calla lillies. We are getting them from Sam's Club as flowers weren't an aspect that I wanted to spend a lot of money on. They will be simlpe and elegant.

AriesAngel86 · June 2012

hydrangeas, ranunculus, and garden roses. If she can get them, the florist is going to add anemones. If not, delphinium (which is a blue-ish color).

jessa1228 · June 2012

The bouquets will be calla lilies and roses. My centerpieces and other floral arrangements are kind of TBD at this point. I was originally going to do everything in calla lilies and roses until I saw the estimate, ha. I'm going to set up another appointment with my florist soon to figure out the specifics.
