Choosing Wedding Flower Colors- The Knot

http://wedding.theknot.com/wedding-colors/choosing-wedding-colors/articles/top-5-wedding-color-mistakes.aspx

Excellent Article on Choosing Colors for your Wedding. I especially like the advise not to choose 'in' colors. 

And not try to make all the flowers match (blue flowers).

Local Flowers are Seasonal! We grow over 200 different flowers but we're still not going to have Peonies in August or Dahlias in May.

On a tight budget? 

Ask about our ‘Simple Single Flower’ table arrangements!

These are less expensive than a mixed flower arrangement, or DIY.  No vases to buy. 

We do the arranging for you. We can also deliver to your reception site

Keep in mind I spend an hour or two on one mixed arrangement. So ask yourself, how much time you and your family have to devote to flower arranging and vase shopping before you go down the DIY route.

'Simple Single type' arrangements with following locally grown seasonal flowers: 

White or pink Hydrangea paniculata- August- September

Sunflowers- July through frost

Mixed Dahlias- August - early October only

Winterberry holly September - November

Mixed Zinnias         
Cranberry Viburnum

Lilac - spring  
Purple Allium

Bulgarian Allium  
Peonies -June only

Tall Garden Phlox  
Baptisia - spring

Dianthus
