hello, was just wondering if any of you have or are planning on growing your own wedding flowers? I really want sweet peas as my centre pieces and thought I may try growing them myself with the help of families too :)

I know haha we havnt booked it yet im willing to move it forward ;)

oh thats lovley that your dad is doing that! theres a local car boot that I often buy fresh flowers from and was thinking of asking the man if he would grow some for me (for a fee). I just done want anything fussy and structured,and the price of florists is extortionate x

I want to do this so if anyone has tips for late May flowers that are good in floral foam i'd be very appreciative. x

Hi Mrs Hill,
I want lots of lavender at my wedding and was thinking about buying some young plants now so they will be ready for next year...... but i'm not sure..... i'm not very green fingered........ the only one of my plants still alive and flowered this year was a clematis who has hung on for dear life for the past three years despite every other plant I have biting the dust :p
If you are a keen gardener then why not give it a go....... even if you only grow some of what you want.
You can always have a fall back plan.

I've bought 1000 bulbs some double late tulips, some single late tulips, some alliums and some anemones, all in pastel colours, does anyone recommend any other nice pastel late may flowers?x
