Flowers play a big role in wedding planning. There are bouquets, boutonnieres, ceremony decorations, reception centerpieces, and possibly other decorations as well. If you aren't sure where to start in your search for the perfect flowers to have at your wedding, start with seasonal, local flowers. They're going to be easy to find, and much cheaper that out-of-season flowers.
What's in bloom in July? It's hard to go wrong with these beautiful flowers:
Baby's Breath
Baby's breath is a light an airy flower. Baby's breath is usually used as a filler flower, but you can let it shine through as your main flower. I think it looks beautiful on its own or used generously in an arrangement with other flowers.
Daisies
What a friendly flower. Meg Ryan in
You've Got Mail certainly agrees. This little bloom is a ray of sunshine that is perfect for a garden themed wedding. Place daisies in vintage glass bottles for rustic centerpieces.
Sunflowers
This bold bloom is perfect for bringing sunshine to your big day. You can't help but feel happy when looking at sunflowers. They look best on their own, with minimal additional flowers in the bouquet. Sunflowers come in different sizes, so feel free to mix and match to create fun centerpieces.
Scabiosa
Scabiosa come in two ways: flower or pod. The flower itself comes in many colors, including white, pinks, and purples. The scabiosa pod is often used as a filler flower, peeking out of a rustic bouquet, but also looks great on its own in a boutonniere.
Tuberose
Tuberoses are small white flowers that look lovely in a boutonniere or bouquet. It's simplicity makes it versatile, so you can go rustic or elegant with it. The tuberose is a very fragrant flower, so make sure you don't mind the scent because it will be with you all day.
These are just six of many July flowers. Ask your florist what's in season near you and use those in your wedding.

These ideas are truly incredible. Will use them this Valentine’s Day celebrations. Was looking for them as was not having any idea on how to go about it. Now have got many ideas from here. Will buy flowers from a local Flowers Delivery service as will get fresh flowers.
