So, I had my heart set on cherry blossoms for my centerpieces b/c my colors are chocolate brown and pink...but i just found out that cherry blossoms are not in bloom in November (when Im getting married)
Does anyone have any other suggestions/ideas for a similar look?
See below for what look I was going for...
THANKS!!!

Does that mean your florist can't get cherry blossoms or that they will be too expensive since they are not in season? If it's because of price try Burton's they don't charge by the type of flower they charge by the amount of flowers. I am getting married in November and am going to use gerber daisy's and probable carnations and/or roses.

Hmmm, thats a good question..I have no idea.
I was just emailing back and forth with a florist who said cherry blossoms are not in bloom in November so she suggested using silk blossoms...and I dont know how I feel about that.
But I will check out burtons, thanks...
How are they price wise?

Maybe you could try pink orchids? I've heard that parrot tulips are available in November as well. Here is a guide I had found on the web: http://www.flowershopnetwork.com/pages/newsletter/NewsletterSeptember2006.php

They are really affordable. I'm not getting CP but I am getting bouq's, bout's, corsages, etc. and they gave me a great price. I saw a sample bride bouq when I was there getting a quote and it was really nice and a great size (actually I may ask for a smaller one LOL). Def worth giving them a call and telling them your dilema and see what they say. Good luck.

I think you will probably have a hard time finding them at all in November--they tend to be an Aprilish flower, I think. What about freesia? I think that's the flower that I'm thinking of. Or, since you're doing pink and brown doing like leaves and then a pink flower? Not like brown crispy leaves, but like the kind you see around at Thanksgiving.
