Wedding Bouquets
 Today's wedding bouquets are more personal than ever, running the gamut from classic all-white formal arrangements to unique designs featuring brightly colored flowers. There are several styles of bridal bouquets, sometimes called Nosegays, Mussies, including hand-tied bouquets, long flowing cascades, and more traditional bouquets. Today’s trends seem to be toward the hand-tied bouquet of many types of flowers. The dazzling colors of the flowers convey the brides excitement and happiness during the ceremony. These bouquets are equally well suited for traditional or modern wedding ceremonies, and are particularly nice for garden weddings. Tied Bouquet Style.
 Cascade bouquets feature flowers that descend below the main portion of the bouquet design. The beautiful stream of flowers is often the main feature of the wedding costume. Cascade bouquets are most often used in formal and traditional weddings. White roses are particularly beautiful for cascade bouquets. Cascade Bouquet Style.

Spring and Summer Wedding Flowers
Looking for inexpensive, easy-to-get flowers? Check out our list of summer's best wedding blooms for bouquets, centerpieces, and decorations. Below are just a few of the most popular flowers for weddings. You will have the best selection at the best prices in the spring and summer months.
Spring wedding Flowers
Roses: Obviously the most popular flower all year 'round. Lisa says, "Roses are always popular with brides, and the spring is no exception." There you have it.
Tulips: Lisa says this is a wedding favorite. She said tulips give a wedding ceremony that "hopeful springtime atmosphere" that we mentioned earlier. They come in so many beautiful pastel colors, too.
Summer Wedding Flowers
Summer is the best time in the flower market. All kinds of colorful flowers are available including hearty blooms from the lily, orchid, daisy, and dahlia families that burst onto the scene with warmth and grace. Choose summer wedding flowers that are white, full of color, airy, or solid. No matter which you choose, each of these summer flowers is bursting with decorating potential.
Calla Lilies These funnel-shaped, elegant flowers aren't really a flower at all, but a large horn-shaped extension of the stem, called a scathe, which ranges from 6" to 9" in length. Most available from March through June, they come in a small variety of colors that range from pure white to orange to dark magenta. Currently very popular flowers for wedding bouquets, also use this dramatic flower as the focal point of centerpieces, or singly for bridesmaids to carry.
Dendrobium Orchids These delicate, six-petaled beauties are tropical flowers of summer that are least expensive during the months from April to August. Available in a variety of colors from simple to truly exotic, dendrobiums make exquisite additions to your hair, corsages and boutonnieres. In addition, you can sprinkle over tables, down the aisle, or add to centerpieces for a heavenly floral arrangement.
Daisy Blooming from May to July, these classic wedding flowers represent hope, purity, and innocence. Whether mixed with greens in a bridal bouquet, placed in bud vases for airy centerpieces, or hand-tied in mini bouquets for the bridesmaids, add the joy of daisies to your summer wedding celebration.
Chrysanthemum Daisy's spiny-bloomed cousin is also most readily available during the long, hot months of summer. This airy flower with narrow petals comes in a much wider range of color than the classic daisy, and looks beautiful in bouquets, centerpieces, and decorations.
Baby's Breath Each stem is bursting with tiny white blossoms on this summertime flower used as a filler for bouquets, centerpieces, corsages, and boutonnieres. Although most florists carry it the whole year through, if you're thinking of doing your own flowers or want to choose from a local garden, baby's breath is in full bloom in the garden from May - August.
Wedding Flowers Greenery
Buplerum: A popular springtime green that is actually a flower. It's coloring borders on florescent light green and is bursting with tiny yellow buds in clumps of seven or eight. Lisa says it's a wonderful filler to create that important texture to your bouquet or arrangement.
Galax: This heart-shaped leafy green looks like tiny lily pads. It's deep, deep green in color and according to Lisa makes "a cute little collar around the edges of arrangements or bouquets."
Tropical Foliage: The type that Lisa showed us was made of large, wide leaves that were striped with varying shades of yellow and green. Lisa on tropical foliage: "Using these in your bouquet makes a very dramatic statement, and usually looks the best if you're carrying an exotic/tropical flower bouquet." Hawaii, here you come.
Pitto Sporum: Variegated green and white leaves. Perfect for filling out bouquets of flowers or mixing with other greens.
Seeded Eucalyptus: A Wedding Gazette favorite. This variation on the short, fat leaves of the eucalyptus plant had little bunches of exposed "seeds" that gave this filler a countryish wildflower look. Would be lovely with bunches of wildflowers.
Ruscus: Lisa told us this shiny, deep colored green comes in two varieties - Florida Ruscus, and Italian Ruscus (imported only from Italy). This broad, flat leaf is exquisitely simple and elegant, which is most likely why it's the Cedar Grove Gardens' favorite filler.
