Question about Seasonal Flowers

[Lori Rymer]

I've used only one supplier the majority of the time and I seem to run into trouble a lot of the time when the brides wants flowers that aren't in season. There are always some that I can't get or going to be maybe's. Leaves me stressed quite often. Who do you folks use to get what you want? I'm needing light pink and magenta peonies for September 29. Are they re-e-e-ally out of season? Aren't they growing somewhere? Should I just tell the brides flat out no? All those magazines the brides get their hands on don't help a bit.

I believe you can get peonies this time of year,new zealand maybe....But they will be very expensive and you will probably need to have a whole box shipped...

Thank you, Lori. That should help.

June.com peonies $3.29 + shipping, but I only saw pink, not fuschia. They're a good source for Holland product.

Some magazines are helpful for giving bride's ideas, but not in showcasing product in the correct season for ease of availability.

good luck!

Thanks, Tracy. I checked them out. You're right, they only had the pink not the fuchsia. The bride will settle for something else but I appreciate the tip. I think I'm going to like dealing with June.com.
Thanks again!
