Frangipani flowers for a UK wedding?

August 14th, 2009

Does anyone know if it is possable to have Frangipani flowers in a wedding boquet in England. I got engaged in Australia and they were the flower of our holiday and i think they are beautiful but i dont know if i can have them, they dont grow wild in UK, its not hot enough but can a florist get them for my wedding?
Has anyone any experience with getting exotic flowers for a wedding?
They are also known as Plumeria
i think we have decided to include them on things like the invites but as we wont be able to get real ones :( il have to have something else for my real flowers.

I just came across your question while searching for photos of frangipanis as my art study subject. I don’t think you can find them in UK. When i was in UK some time ago, i only came across the name Frangipani – a hobby shop in cottage craft center in Tenby, Swansea. I,m now in Malaysia, and we have a lots of frangipani here – variety in species and colours. It is one of soft item for landscaping in resorts and widely used in spas. Definitely it is tropical grown species – meaning that you can find them in countries of South-East Asia region.

Good luck.
