Flower Availabilty in Vallarta?


Recommended Posts

Hi ladies, I am having a hard time choosing my bouquet. I had my heart set on a white calla lily bouquet, however my WC says these are very expensive. The thing is, I don't know what type of bouquet to look for if I don't know what is available.

 

PV brides, please share your bouquets with me :)

 

TIA

I recall someone here found the name of the florist Vallarta Adventures uses....find that post! I had white calla lillies (and roses), of course my bouquet was included in the package, but additional bouquets were reasonable and consisted of any flowers you wanted so they could have been calla lillies. I'm figuring the florist is inexpensive because I'm sure VA charges what they have to pay, you know?

 

 

If you can't find the post I'll ask my WC for you :)

To be honest with you, I'm surprised that you can even get calla lillies in July. I order from 3 different vendors in GDL, when I'm doing an event, and calla lillies went "out of season" the beginning of May (because of the climate change, this was a bad year for callas) - my May bride wanted calla's too, but, as I couldn't get any, she asked for Stargazers and lillies instead. IF they can get your callas, I'm willing to bet they are being IMPORTED which would make them SUPER expensive (like with orchids and tulips which are always imported).

What SHOULD be available now:

Roses (ALWAYS available - and not uber expensive)
Alstromeria
Bethlehem Star
Calla Lillies
Cartemom
Casablanca
Cymbidium and dendrobium orchids (they are $$, eh!)
Delphenium
Gerber Daisies
Ginger
Gladiola
Heliconia
Iris
Irish Bells
Lily
Lisianthus
Mums
Tuberose
Stargazer
Tulips (these are $$ too)

Now knowing what sort of wedding you're having, my recommendations are:

Roses with Bethlehem Star and/or Dendrobium orchids
Roses with Lisianthius
Dendrobium orchids with Lisianthius
Roses and lillies
Bethlehem Star, Tuberoses and Lisianthius

Or you could try an all Casablanca bouquet. Huge flowers, smell great - but don't work so well with other flowers. Or maybe Casablancas with Bethlehem Star.

Hope that helped!

Interesting! I had them for my June wedding and they were flawless, I guess 2007 was a good year for calla lillies LOL

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
