Bulk lavender flowers???

**Headfry** · 06-01-2011, 02:26 PM

Hi Nicos, I had lavender in my flowers on my wedding day.
I bought the lavender plants and had the flowers used - I still have the plants growing (hope they have been ok in all this cold) that was 16 years ago now. Cuttings are really easy so family and friends get a share of my wedding day flowers!

Do you need lots of flowers or some for arrangements?

I have just found this (admittedly in UK) there are a range of prices but you can buy 1Kg for 14.99 which is "about the size of a small scatter cushion"
Strangely enough some of it comes from Provence - Might be cheaper to drive down and collect some from the farms there

EDIT; Ooh, ooh, I feel a road trip coming on!

Dried Lavender - Jersey Lavender - Essential Oil, Dried Lavender & Lavender Soap

Hello Nicos

Here's a link for you 1kg �9.99, worth a look, not sure of delivery costs on that. Have used this company so can recommend.

We had lavender flowers and delphinium flowers which we mixed for confetti. We had about 200g of lavender and 2 ltr of delphinium, which did 20 bags and then had about the same over again. All from ebay.

I warn you if you use it as confetti and it is thrown, it will get into places you don't want it to go. Everytime I went to the loo on the day I left a pile in the stall a trail of petals all round the hotel. Very pretty, biodegrable but itchy.

We had some coir pots, which came with compost and a wild flower seed disc. The idea being people could grow them and they would be a reminder of the day. Most people took one look and asked us what they were and what they had to do with them.

Hmm...doesn't surprise me!

...but a lovely idea!!

My daughter is wanting some 'pretty ' favours with choccies...some smelly with lavender ....and the rest containing either flower or veg seeds...then peeps can choose which they want!
Most of her friends are environmentalists so I hope to goodness they'll know what to do with the seeds!!!

It's a lovely idea!
