Extraordinary Wedding Bouquets

Seasonal flowers are a fantastic option for any wedding. They are widely available, which means they will be less expensive than flowers that are grown out of season. Flowers and plants with heavier, waxier leaves hold up particularly well in the summertime. Try to avoid delicate flowers for spring and summer weddings because they wilt so quickly in the heat.

Hyacinth is gorgeous seasonal flower. Though it is predominantly a spring flower, it is available until early summer, and it smells heavenly. Another summertime flower is the hydrangea, Available in shades of blues, whites, and pinks, they are not expensive and take up a lot of space. A small number can go a long way! They hold up particularly well to heat, and are perfect for a sumptuous bouquet or centerpiece.

The world's unsung hero in the summer is the carnation. It's very inexpensive and holds up extremely well. It has a terrible reputation for being the tackiest flower, because it's always been mixed with greens and baby's breath. However, when used on its own in a tightly packed vessel in beautiful colors, it takes on a whole new, glamorous look!
