Plants for a wedding
My daughter is getting married next year at the end of June. The reception is going to be in a Victorian conservatory. I have some very tall white pots about 70cm high and 40cm square and thought that they would look lovely in the conservatory perhaps with lights in them. Any suggestions please.

Choose three or four options - some which are usually May/June flowering and some which are June/July flowering and pot them into 40cm plastic pots. Then it's a simple matter to do what they do at Chelsea and pick whichever ones are looking best to drop in to the final display.
Gladiolus nanus 'the bride' - simple very elegant white flowers or allium schubertii - definitely 'centrepiece' flowers. Keep the gladioli in some shelter (they don't like to be waterlogged and won't survive a hard frost).
There are some early flowering cultivars of lavender stoechas
Or a tall soft grass, stipa tenuissima, maybe, which look wonderful lit up. They'd be more background than centrepiece.
