I can have flowers at my wedding (Update)

So many of you are okay, so what, we will all have flowers, but after calling a few places and researching ( Thanks Cloudnine!) I have come to learn that there are certain flowers that I can tolerate, such as anything Double Flowered (meaning no stamen), Banksia/Garden Roses, Begonias, Lillies, Calla Lillies, orchids and hydrangeas

Now all I have to do is find the right combinations that will be beautiful yet affordable since many of these flowers bruise easily and are hard to cultivate hence the astronomical prices!!!

I am excitied!

BTW: As many of you know i have chronic allergies!

I knew youd be able to figure something out. Im glad. Begonias are beautiful. I know that hydrangea dont last all that well in a boq, but will do fine in a centerpiece.

Re: I can have flowers at my wedding (Update)

Sooo
I have an appointment with a Florist tomorrow afternoon!

Anything in particular I should? I am a novice to the flower world, just ordered flowers for my boss as a thank you and it was literally enie-meeny-miney-moo!

Question: This is silly!
But where do I need flowers? I.e. Do people have them on them guest book/sweetheart tables? Also are there some flowers that are fillers aka cheap aka people will talk about me at my wedding, if they are present? I am really at a loss, I have no idea! Help me out ladies?
