    Hi,

    I'm getting married in September and it will most likely be very hot!  My quote from the florist is for Lisanthus, but I'm worried they will wilt in the heat.  Did anyone already have a wedding in summer and use lisianthus?  If so, any tips?

    Thanks

    I had them in my bouquet with no problems.  A hot day where I am isn't always a hot day in another area...

    Thanks! Yeah the average temp for that day is 95!!!  Ewwww.  But hopefully it will be cooler!

    @lockha:  Wow you so close!  Congratulations!  That would be great if you could let me know how they do!!  Where are you getting married?

    ive never had good experiences with them holding up in heat, even in water.  there are other factors, like how recently they were cut, but they are a little bit more on the delicate side, in my experience.

    If you keep them in water up to the actual wedding, I don't think you'll have a problem.
