Ok Officially REALLY REALLY sad

Original post by PeteysBride

Ok guys so I am officisally sad ..Today my 100 day countdown started so was yay for awhile, but then I ran into a friend who works for a florist and the turned to after we started talking about my wedding flowers.

I was planning to use gerbers everywhere, but she said they are super fragile and for an outdoor wedding at the end of July, there is no gurantee and a high likliehood that they will wilt...

Ok so I am officially upset-really upset because our ENTIRE wedding was planned arounf the gerbers! She's been working for the florist for 5 years so she's seen a lot of weddings and she's just that kind of person who's blatantly blunt and would never lead you astray. So I know she is telling the truth. I've heard about gerbers fragility from other places but have seen so many pics of hand-tied gerber bo-k's I had hoped we'd be ok.

So now I am stuck for BM's bo-ks. HELP! I don't wnat expesnive flowers and I'd really prefer not to go the roses route. Any suggestions for brightly colroed, sturdy flowers? Red orange and pink?

if it doesn't work out we will have to do all ivory/white and i really don't want to....

I bet it can be done by you and FH in one rainy sunday afternoon.... we did all our starfish place cards in one evening after work!

maybe buy one kit and see how involved it is....

Don't you think that your florist would have told you this at the time of planning your flowers if this was in fact going to be a problem?
