That late in Feb. I'm looking forward to spring, so I think pussy willow branches would be pretty (pink and pale grey) in arrangements. Stock smells nice, I'd have that in the arrangements too, along with standard carnations and snapdragons and maybe some tulips (they don't last long though) and calla lilies. I'd want stephenotis in my bouquet with white and pale pink roses. My attendants would get a more mixed bouquet that would include a few roses (maybe tuba roses) along with pastel mini carnations in green, pale pink and white, but no stephenotis. If I could get sweet peas, I’d have those too — I love sweet peas!

You should also be able to get tulips and camellias in pink and white during February. Sweetpeas also come in white and pink and are a really sweet, feminine flower---a good compliment to roses! Gardenias come in white and are available year-round, but they are very fragrant so I personally don't think that they are a good choice for weddings. Calla lilies, orchids, and lily of the valley seem to be the most popular wedding choices that are available year-round (besides roses). I am personally using light pink roses and white callas (with bells of ireland in the altar arrangements) at my wedding in April. Hope these ideas help!

What flowers do you like? Hyacinths are in season at that time. Tulips. Most flowers you find in spring will most likely be available. Call up local florists in your area and talk to them since they are the experts. Roses of any color will be very expensive during February due to Valentine’s day. What flowers do you like?
