You can get tulips at any time of the year. Try growingtulips.com They have very pretty tulips available year round. Since you like tulips and are having your wedding in the fall how about stay with a purple, orange, and yellow theme and have each table set with a different color? Tie your bouquets with some pretty ribbon, and have vases to set your bouquets in on the head table. Use 3 tulips for a corsage, and one for a boutonniere. :-)
Reply:Check direct gardening.com and type in Fall flowers. Also you may want to look at a florist website and they can give you a good idea of whats available for that season. I am also doing the flowers for a Fall wedding and will be searching these websites.
Reply:Try posting a projects at http://www.clienty.com and they can give you price quotes from vendors. It's a free service for brides and they helped me a lot. It's a really nifty site and they'll help you save money for your wedding.





Good luck!
Reply:Black-eyed Susans are available at that time of year. But talk to a florist. They are able to get flowers that aren't "in season". Choose your wedding colors, and see what the florist suggests.
Reply:Pansy's are pretty late bloomers.


I saw an October wedding, and the boquet was fall color mums, black eyed susans, and some kind of tiny white flowers (wasn't baby's breath) for filler.
Reply:This ( http://www.freshroses.com/oct.html ) webpage is great. It not only tells you what's in season but also links to a picture of each. Good luck with your wedding!

Reply:My daughter married in October and we used mums, lots and lots of mums. Mums in October are everywhere and inexpensive. We also decorated the altar with vines of fall leaves. The pews had off white bouquets with off white ribbons. We sprinkled the bridal aisle runner with the fall leaves also. Her bouquet was of dark purple calla lilies with the stems wrapped in ribbon, very simple and elegant.





The mums also made nice table decorations with a length of fabric bunched slightly, candles and again sprinkled leaves for the reception.
