Have you considered the beautiful effect that bright yellow sunflowers might have as part of your garden wedding?  Even if sunflowers are not your favorite, a garden wedding is always a lovely choice.

Although many brides have enjoyed the use of color as part of their wedding over the past few years, times are changing. Today’s brides are choosing to return to the traditional white wedding. And a white wedding gown can look absolutely stunning when surrounded by beautiful and colorful flowers.

Because flowers are symbols of life and beauty no wedding is complete without them. Nature is all around us just waiting to give us inspiration. Of course, not every woman is the same, and some choose to carry the idea of a white wedding throughout the event, including the wedding flowers.

If you are planning to have a garden wedding then the following seasonal wedding shopping guide is definitely something you will need:

Spring: Choose pastel shades of blue, pink, purple and light yellow.
Summer: Baby blue, magenta, canary yellow and white are ideal for a summer garden wedding.
Fall: This is the time for the rich colors of burgundy, red, burnt orange, gold and brown.
Winter: Winter garden weddings look wonderful with white, red, deep wine, green and, of course, chocolate brown.

Whether you are wanting particular flowers for your bridesmaids or centerpieces it is important that you bear in mind that flowers are seasonal. You cannot choose the flowers until the date has been set, and then you will know what season it will be in.

You might already have the garden setting for your wedding confirmed already, and so now it is time to decide the style of the wedding. Many women want fashionable and special summer weddings and tend to choose shades of pink and green. These two colors work well together and are ideal for any number of moods and effects. The two colors also suit both the bride and the groom.

As already mentioned, flowers are seasonal. If you have set your heart on a particular flower that is not available at home, you would then have to have them imported from a place that is experiencing the season. Of course, this is an expensive solution to a problem that can be easily avoided.

In order to avoid problems and disappointment it is advisable that the bride make use of a florist or designer. You will be able to discuss with her the choices you like and those you are not too keen on. She will be able to advise you about which flowers are in season, or suggest alternatives for you.

Of course, as with most weddings, yours might be on a budget. This means that it is necessary to plan the wedding thoroughly n order to determine how much you are able to spend on each area and phase of the wedding. Remember though, the prices tend to add up quickly. However, with the proper planning your garden wedding will be a day full of happy memories.
