    SO I've been working really hard and trying to plan things, but the 57th thing went wrong today. I'm ordering my  flowers from fiftyflowers.com and I'm DIYing them. I have my heart SET on white anemones with black centers along with roses and anemones. TODAY they called and said they won't be able to fulfill my order of the white anemones.  MAJOR SAD FACE :(

    I've tried wholeblossoms.com but they said there is no guarantee of getting ones with the black centers. (the reason I really want those is b/c my wedding is black and white)

    Any ideas on where I can get them??UGH! 11 days until the wedding and my flowers are all messed up! :  wedding 001flors

    You have 10 days...I'd have someone call local florists for you tomorrow to see if they can help.

    I would also reccomend talking to a florist. DIYing flowers seems like an added stress that you don't need right now!

    What a bummer! Have you thought of doing White Gerabera's they have a black center

    http://www.samsclub.com/sams/shop/product.jsp?productId=203232&navAction=push I ordered from Sam's club Hydrangeas and they where awesome. It was just to test the process. You do have to be a member.

    Also, you can try flowers spray paint. I tried some seafoamy blue on my test hydrangeas and it worked great. You can just spray the middle of the Anemones Black. I would test if first.

    I think Micheals and JoAnn carry these, but check here to find out locally where to buy http://www.dmcolor.com/storelocator.php

    thanks! I'm not a huge of gerbera daisies, they just don't give me the "Feel" I'm looking for. 

    I'm laughing about the flower paint, when I did my first trial run of DIY centerpieces I used daisies and colored their centers black with sharpie.
