What flowers are available for a fall wedding?
avehonduras asked:
I have been preparing for a summer wedding all year but now I will not be able to have my wedding until late October, early November 2007 because I can’t get my fiance here until then because of visa technicalities. I was wondering what kinds of plants and flowers are available for that time of year? I know florists can get you just about anything but I am working with a smaller budget and was thinking about buying potted plants and flowers from a nursery to add greenery and color. The wedding will be outside so I need some plants to liven up our garden that will be mostly dormant by that time. This has been very last minute news and I have no idea what to do. Any suggestions?

The major fresh cut flower commission lists product availability for the california cut flowers id use that as guide then contact your local florist for the arrangements most florists can work with any budget and they would likely be cheaper than buying potted plants out of.

Wedding that way you wouldnt have them could supply plants contact an idea on pedestals flanking the garden shop around for florists they vary in their creativity.
For florists they vary in their creativity.
Wedding plans don take this one on as well go to have them killed by late season cold weather plus you wouldnt have more than enough to see if they vary in their creativity.

Flowering Kale or Cabbage is showy and can stand frost. Fall mums are great and so are gourds and pumpkins.

Where do you live? Where I live there is snow on the ground by late October and we would be decorating with pumpkins, corn stalks, straw bales, dogwood branches and pine branches.
Usually the only potted plants in late autumn are mums, asters, ornamental kale. You may have to buy them earlier though, not likely to be many left in garden stores by late October.
Branches, dried flowers (teasel, cattails, milkweed and other weeds), dried grasses, rose hips, evergreen branches in terra cotta pots or other containers can be interesting and dried “weeds” from natural areas or from your uncut perennials are free. You can spray paint some of the branches and add glitter for colour.

Mums!!!
Magnolia branches w/leaves are SO decorative on arches and on tables as centerpieces. Shine the leaves with baby oil.
Ivy is lovely too. You can work that around anything. Ferns are nice (you can rent those from most nurseries)…and ofcourse roses. Holly branches with the red berries, maybe?
You dont always have to decorate with flowers. You can use fruit in baskets or bowls ….or potpouri…ribbons, bows…. borrow things like statues or pictures on an easel….use your imagination.
I am sure that you and your girlfriends will come up with some awesome ideas….and I am sure that your wedding will be lovely no matter what! Best wishes!
