Please help...

I need to grow some trailing ivy to use as part of a floral arrangement in May next year.
Preferably the ivy needs to trail at least 2 feet in length, have fairly small leaves and the leaves want to be quite close together so that it doesn't look to straggly!
What type of ivy should I go for and how is best to grow it now so that I have what I need in May?

Hope you can help
