Moved my wedding up and now its going to be a late summer wedding, the colors are still periwinkle and silver but not sure if I should still do hydrangea for the flowers. Don't even know what flowers are in bloom in late summer (other than roses, roses aren't an option), what I could use with my colors and coordinate into boutiners. HELP???
Periwinkle and silver in late summer?
Yes you can still do hydrangeas...they are usually in peak bloom in late summer, and some of the more unique and beautiful varieties don't bloom till late summer anyway. Look into lace-cap and peegee varieties. They come in many different colors from white/cream to pink and deep blue. Take a swatch of the periwinkle fabric (I assume that is your bridesmaid colors?) and bring it to the florist. You will probably need to see the actual flowers/colors against the dress color to make sure they compliment one another.
Reply:Periwinkle was my primary color also. I used calla lillies. They're delicate and classy.
Reply:My colors were cornflower, silver and white. Cornflower is pretty similar to periwinkle but less purple-y. I did a mix of white roses, stargazer lilies, irises and bachelor buttons and it looked beautiful.
Reply:Alstroemerias are beautiful and inexpensive. They are available in a ton of colors and at all times of year. They make beautiful boutineers and go well in bouquets. Also I really like them because they don't have a smell.
