What kind of flowers are good for winter weddings?

Thursday, February 19th, 2009
Georgianabelle asked:


I’m getting married on 2/20/10 and I was looking for some ideas for winter wedding flowers. My colors are light pink and espresso brown. I obviously know that roses are always in season, and they will be the staple flower in the bouquets, but I’m also looking for some supplemental flowers for the bouquets, corsages and boutonnieres. I want to stay away from red flowers (too cliche around Valentine’s Day) and I like the more traditional blooms. Also, I live in Minnesota, if that makes a difference regarding my selection. Thanks in advance!

Thursday, February 5th, 2009
mre45 asked:


For some unknown reason raccoons keep coming in to my flower beds at night, and digging holes/digging up my flowers, but they don’t eat the flowers. I have no idea why they are doing this. Anyone know how to stop them?? Thanks much!
