Wedding Flowers for next September
Sun, 2009-10-11 10:46 — Tina
My niece is getting married next September (17th) and has asked if I will arrange her flowers. I'm very happy to do this but like to go one step further and grow them for her too! Could anyone advise which flowers would be best to grow that would still be in abundance then, and suitable for bouquets and table arrangements.
Many thanks
Tina

Nutrient-deficient soils may have a trailer load of well-rotted manure dug into the existing soil. Keep the soil loose and soft and hard fruit trees provide a good dose of fertilizer in the spring only.

It's a great idea but not an unique to me. I also did this years ago in the occasion of my sister's wedding. I made a bouquet of red roses. I will advice you for the same. Red Roses are considered as the symbol of love and affection and have the power to express one's heart's content in a silent way.

Although, I would go for a fuchsia, white and light violet . Even if it is a little bit late and it is not summer anymore you can still get the flowers you need or you can order everything with the Phoenix florists. They have supplies of various flowers in different colors all around the year.

Hi there, I grew my own
Hi there,
I grew my own wedding flowers in 2008 for my wedding at the end of August. I grew euphorbia oblongata, sunflower 'valentine' and lots and lots of cosmos purity and cornflowers (blue and dark), dahlias, cosmos and rudbeckia. The weather was a problem as it rained all through the summer that year, but I put up umbrellas and tarpaulins which saved the flowers. I had huge buckets of cornflowers and cosmos, which people loved at the wedding. My bouquet was hydrangea heads with some love-lies-bleeding through it - simple but gorgeous.
Good luck

What a great idea to grow
What a great idea to grow your own flowers i'd just hope that i had enough for all the tables, i suppose seeds are cheap and you could even start a few indoors to see how fast they grow to get an idea of when to start them outdoors.
I'm planning to do the
I'm planning to do the flowers for my friend's wedding in July.
Since buying Sarah's book How to Grow Your Own Cut Flowers I've been obsessed with growing my own. I've read and re-read the book over and over and would recommend it highly.
Last year I successfully grew quite a few flowers for cutting, and September is certainly a good month for flowers. Dahlia's are amazing as well as sunflowers, rudbeckia....loads in fact. As it was such a grey summer I found most of what I planted last year only really got going in late August / September - particularly Antirrhinum and Bells of Ireland.
It really depends on the colour scheme, do you have any idea what colours your niece is planning to go for?
I'm not sure I'm going to get quite as much to choose from in late July, but will give it a go. Her favourite flowers are poppies so I'm considering trying to work in corn poppies, but am just concerned that is going to be a disaster!
Also, I'm a bit concerned about making flowers look wedding perfect. The flowers from my garden tend to look nibbled and have little crawlies on them... what do i do about that!

Hi Tina, What a fantastic
Hi Tina,
What a fantastic idea, I'm sure she'll be delighted. You don't say which part of the country you're based in but I would suggest dahlias, gladioli, sunflowers, euphorbia oblongata (fantastic foliage) and half hardy annuals (cosmos purity would look fabulous in a wedding bouquet) would all be great choices for September and these all make good cut flowers.
Sarah's Grow Your Own Cut Flowers book will also give you some great advice on the varieties to choose as well as suggestions on how to dispay them. She'll also be holding a course at Perch Hill on 23rd March teaching you how to grow your own wedding flowers and food and on May 5th she'll be holding another course where you can learn how to arrange your flowers. Details for these will be up on the website in the next week.
Good luck and we'd love to hear what choices you make with the flowers.
