Hi. I am planning my wedding and am being married in beautiful Japanese gardens. As such, I would like to include pressed cherry blossoms in my invitations (in my handmade paper) but I am having a TERRIBLE (ok, impossible right now) time finding a source for them! If I could get fresh blossoms I would just press them myself, but I know they bloom beginning in March which is a no-go.

Do you know of anyone or anywhere that I could procure these blossoms from?

Or, if it really is impossible, perhaps someone might suggest another flower that looks quite similar?

I've been doing some research on other Japanese flowers I could use, but cherry blossoms would be just beautiful.

Sigh... I'm rambling. Thanks for your help!!
