Flower questions?
Im still undecided on what i want for our flowers, though im leaning more towards something like roses or peonies now, as apposed to calla lillies as iv been told that they dont really hold up very well in the heat.

I got a price list from a florist the other day & was wondering... How many stems did you have in your bouquet (and what flowers did you have?) and then how many did your BM's have?

And do you have any piccies so i can get a visual idea too?

i'm afraid i'm no help cos FBIL is doing all my flowers for nothing!!! but i do like peonies and ronunculas are absolutely beautiful!! (my fave flower right now!!)

my bouquet is gonna look something like this but with hot pink roses, bright orange gerberas and hopefully yellow daffodils . . . but i just told them to do whatever they like with my colours cos i figure flowers are beautiful no matter what!!

GOOD LUCK!!

Hunny, I don't know that you can have peonies unless you import them? I desperately wanted them too, but I'm a month too early!

Ohh really Em?? See i have no idea lol

I originally wanted tulips, cos they are my fav flowers, but they arent available in Jan.

Were they normal lillie or calla lillies Nan?

Iv been told normal lillies (oriental lillies i think they are called) hold up well but that calla lillies dont.

Nope, Tulips are a winter flower. I'm not sure how long the Peony season lasts for, one of my mum's friends has a peony farm, and she was going to do them for me, but chances are, they wont be ready in time. They normally start mid November apparently.

If you're still looking at a rose posey my florist quoted me 46 stems for mine and 35 for the girls. She quoted me $140 for mine and $100 for the girls.

Hope that helps a little
