Blue Bonnet Bouquet?

I would deffinently love to have a bouquet of blue bonnets. As most Texas citizens, I'm a proud Texan. I love this state. Our state flower is the Blue Bonnet. It's illegal to pick them, but would it be possible to get a bouqet of them for a wedding. And will it even look good?

Blue Bonnet Bouquet?
you may find it easier and less expensive to go with a good quality silk blue bonnet bouquet. that way there are no laws being broken, if the florist can get them no doubt they will be expensive.

and if you buy good silk flowers people will honestly will have a difficult time telling the difference between them and fresh flowers! mix them with other flowers and they will look beautiful. on the computer check out

Afloral.com

on their home page is a photo of blue bonnet silks and they are on sale - up to 11 are 79 cents apiece while 12 or more are 59 cents apiece. check out a few others flowers on their site, like forget-me-nots, and blue allum, cherry or apple blossoms, blue hyacinth, all kinds of beautiful silks. check them out to get an idea of prices, then go check out shops like michael's crafts and joanne's. good luck and happy wedding sweetie!

Anyway, back to the question, bluebonnets are lovely! Why don't you grow them? I've seen seed packets for them at Home Depot and stuff. If you have the time to grow them before the wedding, then you might have a chance.



Otherwise, call up florists in your area, I bet there are some poeple out there.
Reply:Im a Texan too..SO I KNOW we have pride. I think Itd look beautiful. Id talk to a florist, because Im sure theres a way around that. I think the whole "illegal" thing is if its on public property, ie. on your property, or on private property its your choice . My SO is a Sherriff's Deputy, Ill ask him tonight. GOOD LUCK!
Reply:Call around to some of the florists in your area and ask if this is possible. I think it would be lovely!!

If they can,then you can visit the shop and go over ideas of what you want and what it would look like.

All the best and have a lovely wedding.
Reply:i am sure a florist can do that for you
Reply:It doesn't look like it will be easy getting the real thing.. but you can buy silk blue bonnets and have your florist incorporate them into a fresh flower bouquet. Unless you get really close you won't be able to tell the difference: http://www.arneswarehouse.com/flowers.ht...

Reply:Yay TEXAS! San Antonian here! I'm sure you could...just ask a florist.
Reply:Yes, you can buy them from a florist. However, they are seasonal, so you might have to deal with that issue. And since they are so small, it would take tons if you wanted the entire bouquet to be of bluebonnets. They would all have to be wired because they stems are very "floopy" and wouldn't be as sturdy as long stemmed flowers.



However, it's worth checking into. Maybe you could suggest the florist add some silk bluebonnets into a bouquet of real roses, or whatever flower you might consider besides bluebonnets. I'm sure someone has some awesome ideas that would work.
Reply:You can give silk versions to your florist for her to mix in with the real flowers of the bouquet. As a professional she will know how to integrate them so it looks fab! I've seen it once or twice and it was pretty.



Texas girl myself. :)
Reply:Maybe this website will be able to help you out. It's a beautiful flower! If not, then ask a florist...they may be able to purchase them, or they could recommend a flower that would be very similar. Good luck!
