Find Your Ask the Expert: I need some spring flowers for a fall wedding.
My best friend is getting married Oct 10 2010. She wants black callas, solid white daffodils, and red sweet peas in her bouquet. The daffodils is her dads birth month flower and the sweet peas are her grooms sisters birth month flower both who passed away 2 years ago. So she wants to represent them in her bouquet. We are trying for real flowers first and foremost so I was wondering is it impossible to get the spring flowers for an Oct wedding in South Carolina? Shanna

The answer is maybe. The black callas and the sweet pea should not be a problem. These flowers are available during the fall, but they maybe a little more expensive. Normally daffodils are only available in the spring. Don’t give up hope. When you meet with your wedding florist discuss the possibility of shipping in these spring flowers in for a fall wedding. Your local florist may have a supplier who can provide these flowers. After all the floral industry is global and what we once thought of as seasonal flowers are now available year round.
If you are a florist needing seasonal availabilities of flowers check out the California Cut Flower Association Seasonal Flowers. You can find flower availability based on the month or months you need the flowers.
