Flowers are an important part of any wedding, especially one held in the summertime. I know you are busy with a lot of other things. Such as choosing a gown, writing a guest list, choosing invitations, finding a location, figuring out the menu and picking the perfect wedding cake. But while you're in the middle of all this activity, don't forget about the flowers! 



Here are some great ideas for summer flowers!

July -- In the heat of July, the water lily is a great flower for your wedding. These trumpet shaped blooms come in various shades like white, pink, and purple. Other good July blooms include sunflower, tuberose and peony.

August -- The gladiolus is a traditional choice for an August wedding. These gorgeous flowers come in shades like pink, white, red, orange, and even two colors at once. Other fantastic August flowers for your wedding include dahlias, hyacinth, lilies and Queen Anne's lace. 

COST: A nice bridal bouquet will usually cost you a few hundred dollars, more or less depending on where you get it and the types of flowers used. Call around to different florists to do a little comparison shopping. Different florists offer different prices, and by checking with several, you can get the best value for your money. 

Summer weddings are beautiful, and are a great way to celebrate the union between two people in love. Flowers give a special touch to any wedding, and with all the choices available to you, you shouldn't have any problem choosing the ideal flowers for your wedding day!
