Has anyone used cherry blossoms in their wedding? Any cherry blossom ideas would be great, I am thinking that our "theme" might be Spring in Japan. :) Thanks in advance!! Mrs. S<3JS

(You honestly wouldn't be able to tell they're silk unless you touched the flowers. I have some in my living room that look beautiful.) You could also try asking local florists about apple blossoms, or other trees that have small blossoms like these, but as a previous poster mentioned, there's only a VERY short blooming time.

I'd talk to your florist about what other options are out there to get the same effect. "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined." Henry David Thoreau

SarahLovesJS Ideal Rock Total Posts: 4,973 Last Post: 11/21/2009 Member Since: 2/3/2008	Just wanted to update: I talked to a few florists and it looks like they are going to be REALLY difficult to get. So my options would be silk flowers, or similar flowering branches. Mrs. S<3JS

April Diamonds Cut Rock Total Posts: 425 Last Post: 3/2/2009 Member Since: 4/18/2005	I went to talk to a florist this weekend and he mentioned to me that cherry blossoms do have a short season but because he specializes in wedding flowers and is such a big dealer that he can get cherry blossoms for a much longer period of time beacuse he gets them from all over the place. So I think that if you stick to bigger florist they may be able to get you those CBs! On the other hand, they are definitly not cheap. CBs were my first choice as well but then I knew they would be so expensive and I just didn't want to spend that kind of money. This florist quoted me for $150 a table for a CB centerpiece. The basic, tall vase with branches sticking out. For my budget that was just way too much! Oh I'm also in NY (Westchester) area. I don't know where you are but I'm sure location has an effect on prices.

SarahLovesJS Ideal Rock Total Posts: 4,973 Last Post: 11/21/2009 Member Since: 2/3/2008	Hmm, you know. I think there might be a dogwood tree in my parent's yard. I think it's like illegal or something to cut them since they're the state flower or tree or whatever, buut maybe no one will notice? That's a really good idea, by the way! Mrs. S<3JS
