weddingy wednesday 17

dahlia
Flowers:


I have just received the rather upsetting news that dahlia's will not be in bloom in time for our wedding.


We had been hoping...
I had been hoping they would be.
Our flower lady has tried very hard to get them, but sadly the answer ended up as a no.

So here I will drench myself in dahlia's to get them out of my system...
Meanwhile I'm off to come up with a plan B.

I don't know if I should point this out, but Weddingy Wednesday, well, it's on Tuesday.
Sorry about the Dahlias. Hope you find a replacement.

Everyday is Weddingy Wednesday for me at the moment Katie :)

I usually miss Wednesday, and it ends up being Weddingy Wednesday on Thursday. I thought I'd get in early this week. See how organised I am? hehehe ;)

Not anywhere!!! I had a similar problem. I wanted poppies in April and had to pay a bucket-load to get them from somewhere. Dahlias are beautiful. What a shame!

That is a shame. They are such lovely, bright, bold flowers. Look forward to seeing what you come up with, and hope that you are getting through this busy lead up time with most of your sanity intact.

Remember, it will be a perfectly wonderful, magical, beautiful day regardless of flowers, rings and all those little things that are probably causing lots of stress right about now.

Don't be disheartened! I really, really wanted dahlias for our wedding too, and then got the bad news that I couldn't. BUT there are so many gorgeous flowers popping up at this time of the year (we got married mid-Oct too), that I was definitely not disappointed. In fact, I was ecstatic with my flowers, which were probably even more perfect - dahlias are stunning, but there are LOADS of others. Don't be sad! x

What a shame... Dahlia's are beautiful. I am sure you will find something beautiful to replace them.

They certainly are gorgeous-I am sure something special will be in bloom just for you-thanks for the dahlia fix!

They're such unique flowers aren't they...how bout some waratahs...

Dahlias are a very special flower in our family... my grandmother sends me bulbs in the spring every year. She's won ribbons for them in the county fair. They've slipped into my poems like naughty children. xo

They are so lovely - I can see why you'd likje them for your wedding - I'm sure you'll find another sort that will be just as lovely. The super structured geometric ones are amazing by the way!

Your flowers will be beautiful sweet bride to be.
