For my centerpieces i am looking for something along the lines of the cherry tree, lots of branches but has some flowers. Is there anything that you can recommend along these lines. I like big, tall, lots of branch and some flowers.
What you are looking for is a very seasonal effect. It is a great look but you will have a hard time figuring out what to use ahead of time. If you have a year to plan you can scope out what is blooming on your wedding date. once you determine that you need to find where you can get it for your wedding. Maybe a friends tree or something like that.
High end florists will be able to help you with this somewhat ...but the average florist does not have this type of thing availible.
If you let me know the wedding date and colors that would help a lot. If it is springtime you are in a lot better place than winter.
An alternative to consider if this project gets difficult is curly willow branches with a few filler flowers intersperced. It can be quite effective as well.
Do some more research on timing and stay flexable and you can achieve the effect you want.... good luck. Sue of Hobart's Fine Florals http://www.hobartsfineflorals.com
I have 2 different wedding dates in mind. Either February 24th or November 17th. I really don't want to get married in the spring due to the fact that I live in Florida (Hurricane Central). I have seen too many friends weddings ruined by hurricanes. My colors will either be chocolate brown and gold or black and white with hints of a bright pink. Thanks for the help!
Hi again, You might be able to get forsythia branches to force open for february. Or maybe hansens flowering cherry. In November I think you would need to look into the curly willow option. Take a look at oncidium orchids mixed with the willow.
Florida is so tropical that the flowers can vary a lot more than my area. Call the best florist in the area and ask for suggestions. They should be able to stear you in the right direction. Good luck and all the best... Sue of Hobart's Fine Florals http://www.hobartsfineflorals.com
