A friend of mine chose to go with royal purple as the primary colour for her wedding theme. So when it comes to the various flowers that are in that particular colour, I had to recommend to her the petunias. The colour of these flowers along with lavender lilacs in silk tends to make an awesome combination for bridal bouquets.
It's very simple to grow these flowers. You will need at least a couple of months to go before wedding day, and an area in the sun where you can grow at least 30 of these planets. If you have your own patch of land, then this isn't a bad idea, because when finished, it can be rather fulfilling, and significantly cheaper than hiring a florist to carry out the flower arrangements on your behalf.
It's incredibly easy for you to plant these particular flowers in pots, which you can then use to decorate the tables at your wedding reception.
For my friend's wedding, they were planted in metal pails, with a purple ribbon used to tie them around the pail for a nice effect. On white table clothes they had a very dreamy appearance to them.
In order to get those particular flowers all ready to go for the wedding, which was to take place in July, I had to buy them during the early part of spring, during a period when all the plants at the plant store were in season. From experience I have found that planets that are purchased from reputable plant nurseries tend to do best.
You can get petunias in a number of shades, from royal purple to pinks. They are very appealing to look out, especially when grouped together in stacks of three or more.
Small aluminium pails are to be purchased from your local craft store, which you can use to put the flowers into.
Because there were 25 guest tables, 30 of them were required, and I wanted to purchase a few spare which I would use on the main table. Either pail had about 3 plants in them. So I had to purchase quite a few petunias. When the dead blooms were cut off every third day I found that the Pentiums tended to grow best. It encourages them to produce more blooms. In order to achieve the desired look, it's also possible for you to snip off a few branches here and there.
Make sure the dead blooms are severed at the stem. Which means you shouldn't pull them off. This is because the potential seed pod will stay behind if you use such untactful measures.
