Flowers in Dominican! Please help!

[zephyr4586]

I am planning a destination wedding in the DR and just found out that not all flowers are available at destination locations. Does anyone have a list of available flowers in the DR? If time of year is a factor, I am planning for the wedding to be in December of 2010.

 

Also, and info on how much cost varies by flower?

 

Please help ASAP! Thank you!!!!

are you getting married at a resort? if so, you could contact the WC down there and see if she can provide you with a list of the available flowers. if you're worried about a specific flower being available you could also look into real touch bouquets and bringing them down with you so you know exactly what it will look like!

I'm not sure what resort you are getting married at, but I got married at the RIU Bachata in Puerto Plata & they just gave me a photo album of a bunch of pictures of past brides and I had to chose from their bouquets. It was pretty easy for me as I wasn't too picky! I just knew I wanted orange & white...this is what I ended up with. My flowers were free and I paid $35 for my MOH's bouquet.

I will be getting married in the DR in May 2010...I am getting real touch flowers and bringing them down with me from Canada. Not all flowers are available in the DR depending on when you get married so if you have something specific in mind i would say your best bet is to get real touch flowers......

I agree with JandJ. If you want something specific, you should maybe bring your own. Otherwise, my experience was similar to Amanda's. They give you a photobook with different arrangements, and you pick the flowers and colours from there. My bouquet was $40 I think. I had brought silk flowers, but the bouquet was so reasonably priced I couldn't refuse.
