Desert Wildflowers?

I know this may not be the place to ask this, and if it isn't I'm sorry. But, I'm getting married in April, in Sedona AZ, and would like a native desert wildflower bouquet. I'm from western NY, and have no idea what I should be looking at or even where to order flowers from!



Any and all help would be appreciated!!!!!!!!

Reply:Wildflowers are horrible keepers. That said, contact a florist in Sedona (or several actually) and see if you can find one willing to work with you on this request. If it's a bad bloom season, there may be no flowers for the wedding.



Keep your options open, delphiniums and margarite daisies might work for your "back up arrangement." Remember, the bouquet will not be visible in the wedding photos, so you'll only have memories..........
