How do you make herbal tea with the fresh flowers from passion flowers? I just moved into this house the other day and I found a wonderful garden of passion flowers by my front door. I did a bit of research on the medicinal uses and lo and behold, I would benefit greately from it, having anxiety with tachycardia and IBS. I have an herbal tea strainer already but I have always bought already dried flowers. What is the correct way to make herbal tea from fresh flowers?

Can I buy fresh flowers from a warehouse and make my own floral arrangements for my wedding for cheaper? Instead of going to a florist, can I buy from the same places they do for half the price and put together my own stuff for my reception? If not, how much would a boquet of about 10-15 calla lillies (purple and ivory) be? I have 2 friends helping to plan my wedding that can help, and I only have 2 bridesmaids. For the centerpieces I only want maybe one or two flowers in a simple vase. I'm not the type of person that likes huge balls of flowers and giant bouquets. So time and putting them together is not an issue. Any other websites you can suggest?
