Hannah,

I suggest that you contact the nearest botanical garden (Raulston Arboretum,
Duke Gardens, etc.) and ask them what might be blooming that time of year.

Please note that I am *not* suggesting that you have your wedding there or
that you mislead any personnel that you might be planning a wedding there
(......I don't believe it.....I just put a *disclaimer* on a newsgroup post,
for Pete's sake!) -- however, I expect that these places may have had some
experience in dealing with brides who want to know what the setting would be
at certain times of the year.

BTW, when I googled for October + flowers, I turned up the following website
that indicates the pictures are in Charlotte, NC in October 2001 -- might
be worth a visit to the website for a few ideas:

Good luck!

I am planning to be married in my garden this fall, likely october 11.
I'd
love suggestions for plants that will have something to show at that time
(fruits, flowers, foliage?) - especially fast-growing vines to
cover/decorate the falling-down barns . . . any wildflowers? Most of the
space is full sun.
Thanks,
Hannah
