Gerbera daisies?

When are they in season? I am planning a late spring (May 2009) wedding. I want to use them as my flowers. I was thinking each bridesmaid hold like 5 of them with a single ribbon and myself have a even bigger bouquet with maybe a few accent flowers. I also wanted to decorate with them. Would that look funny or is that when they are in season. (they are such bold colors and thats what i want my wedding to be like)
Gerbera daisies?
You can get gerbera's at any time. 5-6 tied with ribbon makes a perfect sized bridesmaids bouquet. about 20 makes a VERY good sized bride's bouquet if just gerberas, adjust if your gonna have other flowers with it. My bridesmaids carried roses and gerberas and it looked great so maybe you could consider that. And the gerbera bouquets are SOOO pretty and very cheerful, perfect for your time of year. I worked at a florist for about 2 years and we did a couple weddings where gerberas were the main/only flower and it was always impressive! You can also get mini ones that are great for corsages and boutineers. VERY good choice, especially in the bright colors! They aren't that expensive either!
Reply:You shouldn't have a problem getting them by then. I've seen them in stores as early as March. Your idea sounds lovely. Gerbera daisies are so great. :-)
Reply:I think it will look great. I was really impressed with the wedding I saw that used Gerbera's. You may not even need to use 5 for the bridesmaids, we only used three. They are very large flowers.
Reply:You need to check with a florist in your city.

But gee, girl, don't plan anything til a year before your wedding!
Reply:I can find them in Feb. So they should be avaliable in May. Talk to one of the floral people at your supermarket they are usually super nice and knowledgeable especially if they've worked there for awhile.
Reply:I would use them in late spring or summer. That should work out just fine. They are such happy flowers, so they are perfect for celebrations.
Reply:I am having Gerbera for my wedding and it's in June. Gerbera daisies are year round flowers. Plus, they symbolize friendship and hope.
Reply:This is similar to the one I carried for my friend's wedding. It was a mix of gerbera, roses, and some other smaller type flowers.

Reply:I too want to use gerberas, pretty and simple for our no fuss wedding.....I was about to ask this question myself, so thank you for asking it for me. :-)

I was telling an old lady at work how i wanted to use them for my July wedding and she asked if they were in season then....I hadnt even thought about it till she said that!

Glad to hear they are around all year.
Reply:If the wedding is in late spring you'll be fine
