It is your day and would be a shame if you could not use the flowers you love. If your guests have bad reactoin to the flowers, maybe you could give them a heads up and they could pop some medication in their bag for the day.

If its your dream flower and you are carrying them then it may not affect your guests at all.

This would be your decision to make....

Hi,

You are a very caring and thoughtful bride to take this into consideration, however it is your day.

Have you thought about having silk bouquets and arrangements as they look so real.  You can keep your wedding bouquet for years to come and the bridesmaids you could let them also keep them as a gift from you to them. Very one will be happy and no allergic reactions.

I would hate to see you miss out on your dream flower of choice for your Wedding! It is so lovely though that you have taken your guests into consideration. Perhaps just have this flower in the bouquets and substitute it with other flower in the same colour for your guest tables. You could even get in touch and notify them of what you are planning. I hope it all works out well x

Hi Future Bride,

that's  a hard Question to answer directly, we have to know which flowers you like to use 

for your wedding, you can get allergies from touching, smelling, swallowing, cutting...

We can substitute,  for example Oriental Lilies  they have a strong smell instead  you can take a Asiatic Lily

without smell. Feel free to contact us for any question/help or any other queries

It's a very personal matter. It really depends how severely they react when around these flowers. What is the flower by the way? Maybe they could take some anti-histamines on the day?

Hi,

 It's a personal decision but if you are concerned and feel empathic towards your guests it might be best to avoid them. However, at the end of the day, it is YOUR day, so you should really have what you want!  Best of luck
