What flowers will be in season for my wedding in August?
most plants flower in august (summertime) don't worry you will have plenty to choose from.A pearl of wisdom for a happy marriage is, be happy and never stop snogging, when you do the rot sets in.
Reply:I am a wedding floral designer. Most flowers are available in August except things like Lilac, daffodils, tulip, and maybe a few others. Most flowers can be shipped here from Holland or South America, so at the right price, you can pretty much get what you want. Flowers like hydrangeas, roses, lisianthus, stock, stephanotis etc, are grown all year round somewhere.
Reply:Gardenias!! The great "big" August Beauty ones should be in bloom depending on where you live. You could just buy the plants at Home Depot or something and cut the blooms yourself. It would help save money on the flowers, plus you could plant the bushes at your house (or at someone else's house if you're in an apartment or something). It would be a wonderful reminder of your wedding every year when they bloom. My mom did the flowers for our wedding and just bought plants from the garden center to use for the greens in our arrangements, I still have one of the plants that she cut greens from.
You can also try looking online at wholesale florist places, or if you have a Costco or Sam's club nearby you can save tons on flowers there. I get 2 dozen roses at Costco for $14.99.
Congratulations and best wishes!!!
Reply:All I know is that Gladiolas are the Birth flower for August(whish is one of my FAVORITES) I am assuming because that is when they bloom, but I am not positive. They come in many different colors and are VERY beautiful. Hope this helps. Good luck!
Reply:A lot of flowers are available all year long, although spring flowers like tulips and calla lilies are more expensive if you'd want these after the spring season. For an affordable alternative, make your centerpiece with just a combination of different foliages - ferns, italian pittosporum, seeded eucalyptus, variegated ivy, etc. If it's a night time reception, use tea lights around your centerpiece. If it's a lunch reception, use ivory and green rose petals around the centerpiece.
Reply:roses, gladiolas, lilies, carnations
I know fresh flowers are preferred, but have you considered using silk flowers for your centerpieces? With everyone eating and dancing in a room which is usually dimly lit, most people will not look close enough to know whether they are real or silk. It is very easy to make up arrangements yourself and most floral craft shops will be glad to give you tips, since you're buying your supplies there.
I also think a centerpiece of just 2 long stem roses standing together inside a slender clear vase with glass beads would be elegant and pretty. You could add tea lights around them as well. Congratulations!
Reply:Colourful ones.

Which flowers are cheaper?
I really like calla lilies or green roses for my wedding bouquet, but the calla lilies seem to be a little pricer... which bouquet-appropriate flowers are the best value? Do you know where I can find a list of price per stem?
Which flowers are cheaper?
I don't know exactly what colors you are planning on using, but we just had a fall themed wedding this past october. We actually used artificial flowers because they tend to be cheaper, and you can keep your boquet. If you are interested in fall flowers, mums and sunflowers are also great to use. I wouldn't think that they should be that expensive either. Contact a few local florist and check their pricing. You might also be able to go in and look at pictures of boquets that they have done in the past and they might be able to give you approx. prices as to how much different ones are. You may also want to even consider going with artificial flowers. If you chose this and you or someone you know is crafty, you can save money by doing the arrangements yourself or even check out local craft stores that have people who do arrangements and check their prices too. Good Luck and Best of Wishes (i know wedding planning can be stressful and expensive)
Reply:I think both should look equally nice, though I've never seen a green rose before. If you wedding is in the summer, and you only need a few callas, may i suggest you grow your own? It's not that hard, and they grow really easily. I paid about $5 for my calla bulbs, and they should provide you with about 5-10 blooms each corm if you grow them well. You can order calla bulbs at most online places (look for the Lain name 'zantedeschia') for not that much. There is also a greater selection of colour if you would like to grow your own, such as Crystal Blush or Z. aethiopica (the giant calla)
Reply:Price varies according to season, but calla are always more expensive than most other flowers. Decide on which florist you want to use, then go in and discuss it. I am a florist.

Silk or real flowers for prom boutonniere?
I was looking on the internet on how to make a boutonniere, and the site I found said to use silk flowers. So, should I use a silk flower or real one? Because it seems to me that a fake flower would just seem sort of cheap or something. Either way works for me though.
Silk or real flowers for prom boutonniere?
i would have liked mine to be silk. Just think you can keep it after. Silk flowers look just as nice as real ones a lot of the time you cant even tell there not real..
Reply:if you can find a silk flower you like as well as a fake, use it...it will serve for sentimental value b/c it will last forever...but if you don't want to keep it, a real one is not going to be any more expensive than a silk one. Either way though, make sure it's not nicer than the one you get your date ;)
Reply:fake ones...
because sooner or later in the night it's going to start dooping and become wrinkled and you don't want that. But get the realistic looking ones.
Reply:actually I'm pretty sure a silk boutonniere would be more expensive. i think a real flower should be better because that's what is tradition to get.
Reply:REAL, Silk usually looks fake.
Reply:Real looks so much better I have seen the silk ones and i dont think they look that nice
Reply:I say real. That's what everyone used at my prom but that was 2001. Good luck!!! And have fun @ the prom :)

I bought a cheap pack of "Butterfly Mixture" flower seeds?
It contains violets, daisies, coreopis plains, gallardia, etc.
How deep in the soil do I plant them?
Will they grow in a fairly shady area?
I bought a cheap pack of "Butterfly Mixture" flower seeds?
1/8-1/4 of inch of soil covering them.No more. 1-2 inches is way to deep. When I plant mine I rake out the ground I'm planting them in and the scatter the seed and rake over the seeds.This works really well.Butterfly mix is a sunny seed mix , but will do okay in partial shade.It wont do well at all in full shade. It needs at least 2-3 hours full sun a day. Hope I helped.I have 3 lovely flower gardens and butterflys from June to September.
Reply:Daisies, coreposis and gallardia all prefer full, hot sun. The violets can do part-sun.
Rough up your soil and then smooth it out. Spread seed over soil and then bring up 1/4 inch of soil on top. Pat down and water with a misty stream of water so you don't disturb the seed. Keep the seed damp until you start to see sprouts.
Reply:bury 2-3inches down and some shade is ok...not too much!

What are some of the cheapest, yet beautiful flowers for a wedding?
Our budget isn't very large at all, and I need to find the cheapest flowers, but I don't want them to LOOK cheap, either. I'm looking for something possibly in the purple and/or pink family color-wise, as well as white. I really love stargazer lilies and calla lilies, but they are rather on the expensive side. Anyone here know of flowers that can look very similar to them, but are much cheaper? Please let me know. Thanks.

Buy your flowers in bulk and you can use them different places. Bulk keeps the cost way down.

Reply:We did our own flowers and it was very cheap and a lot easier than I had imagined. We used calla lillies and stargazer lillies with some filler flowers (pom poms). We bought the flowers from: www.theflowerexchange.com and I could not have been happier with them. They were wonderful.

Reply:I went in to a florist and she was so helpful with these same questions. Tell them that you like calla lilies and ask for something that would be similar. If you stay away from typical wedding flowers, you will get them for cheaper. I love stephanotis and because they are very common wedding flowers, they are able to jack the price way up.
Reply:Depending on what time of year your wedding is, there are many options for cheap flowers. I don't know if you were looking for flowers for a bridal bouquet or centerpieces or maybe even both...but one suggestion for centerpieces is to use square vases with one or two flowers floating in each. The square vases are trendy, and if you are using just a floating flower they will be cheap! some flowers that look good floating are dahlias or orchids.
as for calla lillies, there are mini calla lillies that are cheaper and just as beautiful! stargazers are going to be expensive no matter what time of year, and its hard to find flowers with color as beautiful as those. tell your florist that you are looking for something bright and vibrant. I reccomend dahlias, they come in some of the brightest, beautiful colors. they aren't usually too expensive either.

Reply:You could do what my Mom did - one rose stem for herself and her maid of honor, tied with a ribbon. Her colors were maroon and white, so with Mom's white dress she had a red rose and white ribbon. My Aunt had a maroon dress, white rose and red ribbon.
Carnations are good, especially white ones because they can be dyed. (It's actually a really popular thing to do here for graduations. The florist keeps the stems in food-colored water and the flowers absorb the color.)
Look through magazines for ideas and take clippings to the florist. Let them know what you're looking for, what your budget is, how many bouquets, boutonnieres, or corsages you'll need and where your venue and pictures will be. That way they'll know how hardy the flowers will need to be and what you can afford. Oh, season and time of day, too since that may factor into availability. Anything that's in season will be less expensive. Roses around Valentines, Mother's Day or the Rose Bowl? Forget it.

They can do spray roses in any color you want... They're often cheaper then regular red roses and smaller. But they can be JUST as beautiful!

Reply:My goal isn’t to change your mind, but I hope that someone can learn from my experience. I went cheap-o on my flowers and lived to regret it.
I can’t name for you all of the flowers I had, but the only thing that didn’t wilt/brown on me were the calla lilies (the most expensive, naturally!). This is my bouquet:
http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b6c... . It’s too pixilated for you to see it, but I got my flowers at 12 and by 5, I had to pay attention to which way I turned my bouquet for pictures to keep the wilted parts from showing.
I’d blame my troubles on the fact that I was out in the sun for a couple of hours, but my bridesmaids’ weren’t and their flowers suffered the same fate. My florist also didn’t tell me how small he would have to make my bouquets in order to meet my budget, and I was not pleased. This girl was the slimmest and this is how small the bouquet was on her: http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b6c...
To save money, do some internet research yourself to find out what’s in season (and thus less expensive) when you’re getting married. When you meet with a florist, give them your budget and ask for suggestions on what flowers would work. If wilting, browning, and bouquet size matter to you, make a point of telling your florist (I thought I did…). Even better, try to get a clause that you’ll get a refund if they don’t meet your expectations. I wish I had!
Lastly, with any wedding vendor, check out the BBB record.

Where do you get Transparent Lockets for Flowers?
Hello, where do you get cheap clear or transparent lockets for things like pictures or small dried flowers? Anything from a necklace to keychain would work well. Thank You
Where do you get Transparent Lockets for Flowers?
Most of the craft shops do sell them, ask in the shop because they might be hidden somewhere.
I did get my first from an origami supplier.

Where do you get Transparent Lockets for Flowers?
Most of the craft shops do sell them, ask in the shop because they might be hidden somewhere.
I did get my first from an origami supplier.

Reply:Stay off the internet. We were going to until we realized that the girls IN the flower girl dresses have such different bodies--buying online doesn't promise you anything about the material, the quality, etc.
Look at Dillards and Sears.
Try going to a Pageant Store. We recently purchased $50 dresses from a store like that. Ask for discounts. Plus the quality was amazing, and it didn't look like it was just from any store. It looks like $200 each.
Stay off the internet though! You can't discuss discounts through the internet, and if you go and pick them up, you will save yourself shipping charges.

Reply:You could probably find some matching little girl dresses at Walmart. They won't be real "flower girl dresses" They just have dresses. I'm sure they are probably no more than $20 a piece.
My friend had 5 flower girls, because she had to use all her nieces and all her fiancees nieces, they didn't want anyone to feel left out. Her fiancee's mom made all the dresses, they all looked precious. That is the cheapest way to go. Do you know anyone who can sew or make clothing?
Good Luck!

Florist :) How Can I get Free Flowers?
Yes I want something for free for my party but only because I was told that I could get them for free. I was watching TLC or some show and they were making over this womens house for a party for cheap, and the host said she got the flowers that were places on around the room for free, and that you have to ask your local florist, does anyone know anything about that? do florist give away certain or unwanted flowers, what do I ask for? and how soon could I get them I dont care what kind just as long as they smell good.
Florist :) How Can I get Free Flowers?
I would go behind your neighbors houses and cut a few from each of them. They'll be none the wiser!
Reply:get them off the side of the road.
Reply:I knew someone who went to the cemetery and took some from the gravesites. But, I don't think you are THAT desperate for free flowers, are you?
I would think you could visit some of the local florists and just ask in a friendly, can-you-help-me- attitude if they ever have any 'left overs' that they would be willing to share...and tell them when your party will be. Doesn't cost to ask.

What's the cheapest way to send flowers to a patient at santa clara valley medical center?
Don't send flowers from proflowers to a patient in a hospital/medical center. Their flowers are shipped in a box that the patient would have to open. Also, the vase and flowers come separately and a patient in a medical center will probably not be well enough to open the box, get water, and put the flowers into a vase.
Your best bet? Order from a local florist. The 'wire services' charge a fee just to take your order. So, in the end you may pay more than 60 bucks for 40 dollars worth of flowers. Save yourself time, money and a headache by calling a local florist in that area.
Best Wishes!!

What is the best way to buy flowers for a wedding, which store is the best?
I am getting married in June and I am looking at the kind of flowers that I want. But I do not have a vast budgett. So cheap but quality.
What is the best way to buy flowers for a wedding, which store is the best?
Hi and congratulations on your upcoming wedding!
I absolutely love real flowers, but some prefer the silk.
My suggestion would be to go to a florist. That is their business! ALL florists are willing to work with you AND your budget. They have lots of books with examples and also books showing actual weddings that they have done. You can also look through bridal magazines to get ideas. Take pictures and your ideas to the florist and see what they can do for you!
Check with your family, co-workers, friends, etc. to see what florist in the area they recommend. Good luck!
Reply:I used silk flowers. I got them from Jo ann Fabrics and a place called the flower factory but it is one of those places that someone has to belong to. I actually bought centerpieces for my bridal shower and cut the flowers out of that and made my bridesmaid bouquets and part of the boutonnieres. Reusing is a great idea, no one knew but me, no one knew they were silk and then your bridesmaid can take them home and use it somewhere, instead of throwing them away.
Reply:It's always best to go with a reputable local florist.
Reply:Trader Joe's. They have the best selection and they're cheap.
Reply:Hi there! also getting married in June. Im going tolook at arts and craft stores (if you're planning to not spend alot) and make them. It's not really hard if you have something in mind to go off of... a picture of a bouquet you like, type of flowers, colors. Then whip out your ribbon and hot glue gun and put some together and see what you come up with.
Reply:Do your research with some florists in your area. Let them know your budget and make their suggestions for what you want to do within your budgetary constraints. Look at their books of arrangements for other weddings. They always have them. If you like what you see not only in the books but the arrangements around the store, then they are the florist for you.
Reply:I dont know where you live, but here we have gourmet grocery stores that have big flower departments, like Central Market and Wholefoods. I had a friend who used them, and they supplied the flowers for her for her tables, and she just orderd cala lillies for the bridesmaids. She picked up the flowers herself and did the arranging on the tables. She only had her arrangement made at a florist. If you dont have stores like those, look for wholesale florists.
Reply:silk is cheaper and you have nice keepsakes.
Reply:If you intend to do all the arrangements yourself, you must consider where you are going to store the arrangements before the actual wedding. They need to go into a temperature controlled refrigerator!
Now, with that being said, you can purchase flowers in quantity from a site like this:http://www.growersbox.com/categories.php...
or this:
There is also proflowers.com wedding flowers. They come in packages, already made it bridal bouquets, boutiniers, etc, and you can pick the flowers you want and how many of each thing you want.

What kind of flowers are very low maintenance? And inexpensive?
I am looking for flowers to plant around the outside of my house but,, to be blunt, I kill everything! lol So I need something I can just plant, and not have to deal with. The areas that I'm looking at get a alot of sun with partial shade. They also need to be cheap! and something that I can plant now.
Picture's would be a great help. Thanks!
What kind of flowers are very low maintenance? And inexpensive?
Nasturtiums are easy to grow and easy to maintain. Direct sow them in the ground and water them. They take the heat and dry soil. Nice green foliage with yellow and orange flowers that grow well into October. Plant them as soon as the ground is warm,.
Burpee Seed Catalogue has 5 or 6 varieties.
Reply:The flower is spelled "impatiens" and if you google it as "picture of impatiens" then it will show you. They are usually ones that come back, year after year, if you let them go to seed, will be in bloom now if you get a flat of them, love water--don't require a lot of it, for the root system is shallow,
and since they are rather tender...are not dog-proof! They are one of the few that can get LARGE and if one stem breaks off and falls over, you can get it, put it in water and often it will root! Then you can plant it!!!
Price will depend on the size of the area you need to cover, seeds will work, but they take a lot longer for results, and often ony 5% in a packet is expected to sprout!
Says so on the package!
Loosen up your soil first and plant them with wet roots, soak them in water before you put them in the ground and be sure to gently tamp the earth down to fill air pockets, air dries out the roots, and that is a cause of them not doing well. The roots need moisture, the tops need sun and shade!
Good Luck! They grow Maine to Miami to California!
Desert sun will cause them to burn.
Reply:Impatients...I have been planting them for years and years with good luck. They like partial shade and shade. They come in all colors and will last from May until November here in Northern Virginia. I also lived on the Florida panhandle for 15 years and use to plant them there and they did great. They usually are pretty inexpensive and you can get them at places like home depot, lowes and wal mart. Wal Mart usually has the best prices! They are one of the few plants that survive my gardening skills year after year.
Reply:Perrenials, such as daffodils, tulips - all the ones that come from bulbs. It is too late, this year for these.
Nasturtium is beautiful and grow easily, but need to be planted every year. They are quite low-maintenance, though and can be planted right away. They should bloom all summer. Marigolds is another low-maintenance option.
Reply:lilly's do not require alot of care you just plant the bulb in the ground and watch it grow.that's what i would recommend for you get bulbs if your going to plant anything they are the easiest.

What lights are needed to start flowers inside?
I wanted to know what are the cheapest light you can use to start flowers inside. I am growing petulia's. thanks
What lights are needed to start flowers inside?
Grow lights, the can be purchased at a retail home center. I have a overhead fixture that holds 2 long tube grow lights.
Reply:You dont need light to start most seeds. Most seeds germinate from warmth not light. Try a heating pad set on low under the seed tray or just place it in a warm spot in your house. Like some refrigerator tops are warm because of the warm air blown out the back by the motor fan. But indirect sunlight or direct sunlight in a window will do fine when they start getting more than a few inches tall.
