    I really want to have potted white calla lilies as our centerpieces, but they aren't quite in season and getting them in a couple of weeks is cutting it REALLY close to the wedding. I want potted lilies because I want to plant them after the wedding as a memento.

    I have not been able to find any local places that sell them except Fred Meyer and they don't do special orders. I would just have to go into the store and hope they have 24 that I can buy.

    I did have one place call me and say they could order them in time for the wedding and I placed the order. Well today they called me back and said that they couldn't guarantee that they would all be white. They might also be pink, purple, or yellow and none of those are our colors.

    Does anyone have any suggestions? I really don't want to go with our back up plan which is fake calla lilies. PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN!!

    I assume you've called all your local nurseries? What about Home Depot/Lowes/any other home store that sells plants? A lot of times, they can plan their orders in advance.

    Good luck!

    Honestly I don't have a back up plan for you.  Any reason why you wouldn't want to do fake plants?  Other than not being able to plant them?  Because at least with the fake ones they would look really nice in your house and they last FOREVER.  As for the rest of them, just give them away to the guests.

    The only reason I want live plants would be to plant them I guess. Fake ones wouldn't be bad. That idea is growing on me as I run out of options.
