If I wanted to use some flowers from my Grandma's garden, would florists generally be ok with it?

Just say I wanted to incorporate some flowers I've picked myself with the flowers that the florist has provided.

I think any florist would be happy to include a few flowers from your grandmas garden, just keep in mind that they should be in good condition so that look perfect and last the day.

We can certainly add some floral from the family members garden _ obviously for the sentiment- we have already done this several

times. We could advise of the quality and lasting of the flowers provided- the end result has to be of a standard that we are happy to put our name to

and look the best for the day.....

This would definately depend on the florist. We would be happy to as this could assist you in keeping your budget down for your wedding. We would of course go through the flowers to make sure that they were in a good condition for your Bouquets and venue flowers, and we would also condition them to see whether they were up to lasting. We would use the best flowers, along with flowers we supplied as well.

Yes, that will be acceptable with the condition that they are in their prime condition when you pick them and sent to us in time for us to make them.

However, from our experience, it is better for us to condition the flowers prior to using them, for them to last a whole lot longer, to open blooms if necessary under the right conditions.

As such, we want all brides to be looking stunningly beautiful with the exquisite flowers.

Garden flowers usually do not live up to that standard. So do be very very stringent in choosing the right blooms.

The bottom line is.... leave it to the professionals ... the flower growers and florists to create with prime flowers, without a bruise in sight or wilting petals.

certainly, there shouldn't be a problem in regards to this

I recently (completely off topic) a funeral casket, using a lot of flowers from the beloveds garden, to make it look like a wild rambling cottage garden effect, combining ours and the families chosen flowers.

a very sentimental and lovely gesture
