Guest Post by Shafonne Myers: Summer Wedding Flowers
Aug 18, 2011 Wedding Planning InstituteFlowers can transform a dull, melancholy venue into an astonishing, eye-popping wonderland for your special day. From the simplest to the most elaborate, floral arrangements can be one of the main things that people remember when they leave your festivities.

 But what do you take into consideration when looking for flowers? The biggest thing is time of year. Certain flowers are only in season at certain times. This means that if you want a particular flower for your wedding you might want to check to see if it’s in season so you can save some money. 
Here are some great summer flowers that are in season right now.

All these flowers just scream summer. There are also flowers that are available year-round so regardless of the season they are priced just right.

Orchids are great because they come in some many shapes, sizes and colors.
Roses - Courtsey of Wish Special Events
Roses are a wedding staple and will always be looked at as the classic wedding flower. They are great wedding flowers because they can literally be dyed to match any color scheme. This makes them versatile and an ideal flower for any wedding, especially summer ones with bright bold colors.

This so all so beautiful, and so inspiring. I’m nearly done with my classes at LWPI, and I’m looking forward to using everything I’ve learned.
