What flowers are you having?

I used to think it was cute until he ate lilies and had to go to the vets and it cost a fortune luckily we have insurance so got the money back. Never realised lilies were poisonous to them, we now have a no live plant/flower rule. Still eats random stuff though like hair bobbles, plastic bag handles, the elastic off his cat toys. I swear it's worse than having a small child.

Love the idea of lavender from the top of the thread.

Our flowers are going to be very vibrant

Yellow sunflowers
Orange gerberas
Purple lisanthus
Dark green foliage.

OK, sounds a bit :eek: but trust me, they look really good together!

Is there such a thing as the opposite of a bridezilla ? ....

Yep, I'm one too - a BrideBuddha? - I'll be having whatever I can get in season at the florists in shades of pink & make my own - my mum, sis & I are planning a 'flower night' the night before my wedding - sitting around the kitchen table making posies & corsages etc & then having a takeaway

early August - probably roses, gerberas, daisies & greenery from everyone's gardens!

It's still just in season now - know any keen gardeners?

Jammy that sounds fabulous!

I am getting married in Italy in summer 2014, I plan to either order a mixed box of wildflowers or pick them when I get there, and get my clever friends to help me fashion some bouquets before the wedding.

- Don't know the laws in Italy about picking wildflowers but there are laws over here to protect endanged species. Just be careful is my advise if you are going to pick them also be aware that some plants can cause reactions such as cow parsley and euphobia so know what you're picking and where gloves if in doubt don't pick it!

Wish I had the time and some where cool to store the flowers. Not a very patience person so probably not a good idea for me. but amazing if you can do it!
