I'm so glad
Tara sent me the link to a
website that lists flowers available by season. It's been very helpful in trying to decide what flowers I can have at the wedding.

So I decided to see what some of these flowers look like in bouquets.
First we have sweetpeas:

Pretty and simple. I really like the bouquet on the bottom right. But maybe instead of purple flowers I could have some leaves.

Then there's dahlias. Very simple and nothing says summer to me like dahlias. They make the bouquet look so full.

Then there's carnations. I know most people hate them but they are my birth flower. I love the bottom right bouquet. Yea for Martha Stewart!
What do you think of these choices? Are there some I overlooked?
i think the ones you picked out of the list are really pretty... you do combos or use them by themselves! I personally think that lisianthus are a really pretty accent flower...
ReplyDeleteglad the link was helpful!
oops- forgot 'could'... as in 'you could do combos'...
ReplyDeleteOoh! Thanks for the link to the website!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI edit Flower Blog and recently wrote about a colleague's wedding. She had very simple but striking flowers -- might give you some ideas -- photos are at:

Best,

I lovvvve carnations when a LOT of them are used! And I love dahlias. Those are the two flowers we're using for all of our decor. The dahlias come in so many beautiful deep colors... I also really like Bells of Ireland on their own. Very striking.
