With summer already here and the end of the year is soon to approach us, everyone here at Orlando Wedding Flowers: Vintage Vines would like to share some valuable information on some types of good and bad summer flowers.

The beginning of summer starts out with perennial flowers that began to grow late in spring. They begin to flower at the first signs of summer. Some popular perennials for early summer are Irises and Peonies.
Summer flowers are very rich and beautiful. You have your choice of reds, blues, violets, oranges, yellows, pinks, purples, and whites.
A favorite flower that begins its growth in summer is the Rose. There are many different colors of Roses which give off a wonderful smell that fills the air. As summer starts to really heat up, there are many flowers that cannot continue to grow in the hottest days of summer.
Planning a wedding around traditional summer flowers is easy. Stock has pretty white and pink varieties, and a strong sweet scent. It is generally available around late spring and summer. Some people think of stock as a bit old-fashioned since the arrival of exotic tropical flowers, but they do have an appeal and beauty all of their own. The wonderful tall blue delphiniums are available at this time and these work well in ceremony arrangements, as do gladioli. The one flower you may want to stay away from if you are having an outdoor wedding or you plan on your bouquets being out of water for a long amount of time is the hydrangea.

We would like to offer a one of a kind deal when you book your wedding with us. Not only do you receive a free Toss Bouquet and a Grooms Boutonniere, when you book with us the day of your consultation you will receive 10% off your final total.

Dear Brides to be,

  From bouquets to corsages, arrangements and flower girl petals, no one can argue the influence of radiant flowers on your wedding day. Beauty is in the details. So, what to consider when finding the perfect flowers for you and your big day?

♥How do you find your dream florist?  I believe that you need a special bond with you and your florist. Someone that sees the same ideas you have and is able to throw in other ideas as well. Make sure you do some background work on your own or be bold and ask your own questions. Do they have any awards? How long they have been in the industry? Etc. Etc.

♥How do you find the perfect bouqet for you?   If you’re set on having a stylish and unique bouquet for your wedding, don’t let tradition prevent you from fulfilling your dreams! From domestic elements to international, exotic ones, from budget to wildly spendy, from the romantic to the sophisticated and the simplistic to the blatantly over-the-top, your red wedding bouquet can be one or all of these things!

♥How far in advance should you book? As soon as possible. No later than 2 months.

♥What type of flowers hold up better for outdoor weddings?  Alot of flowers are prone to wilt due to heat and the stress that can be put on flowers. you can use flowers like poms, Roses, orchids (they are very strong), athuriums, callas and minicallas, Carnations, Daisies, Tropical greens, Tropical Flowers and Silks are good flowers to be put outside and not worry about. Some flowers to stay away from are, hydrangeas, gerberas and lisianthus.

Whether you die for red roses or cringe at the sight of a carnation, modern wedding trends vary to suit every bride-to-be’s taste. Gone are the days of standard baby’s breath filler and the same votive accented arrangement you have seen a dozen times. This post includes some of the hottest wedding flower trends that are blooming this year.

Every woman has a special place in her heart for pink and green. Whether you are a glam goth girl or a preppy princess, a pink and green wedding flower color palette is so hot right now. This trend can be interpreted in many different ways…no need to stick with the typical bright pinks and greens to imitate this trend. Try deep rosy hued blooms and dark, waxy green leaves for a special spin on this style!

Orchids are quickly becoming one of the most popular flowers for contemporary wedding affairs. The unique blooms have been incorporated as groomsmen’s boutonnières and are also seen mixed with traditional flowers in centerpiece arrangements.

Modern brides are accenting their bouquets, centerpieces, and corsages with all shapes and styles of stones. If you want to incorporate this trend in to your wedding, try accenting flowers with rhinestones, crystals, or pearls. For a unique look, pin a brooch on the wrap of your bouquet! Scour thrift shops or your grandmother’s jewelry stash for your bling-tastic “something old!”

Keep in mind, a great way to get a feel of what you are looking for in floral ideas is looking through magazines, ripping out ideas, looking online. Read more from MyWedding.Com

March is the month of  new color schemes and different but yet fresh and funky ideas! When you say or think the month of March and want to pick a color, you don’t have to always aim for the obvious green.   Think about adding purple, blue or different shades of pink.
