I'm getting married in September. My colors are bright blue and khaki. Any suggestions on flowers?

Are there any "real" blue flowers? (p.s. I'm on a slim budget)

triteleia

Monks Hood Aconitum

All of these are darker blue in color and should be available in September, muscari and hyacinth and scillia are not. The hydrangia is a more costly flower but it cover a lot of space so it's "cost per square inch" is actually quite good.





Hope this helps!
Reply:I would personally due some ivory or light colored tones. This will compliment your blue and khaki colors. I would begin by going on theknot and similar sites -- go under the flowers section but it's also helpful to look at "real weddings." Look for people's weddings with similar colors and look for weddings in September. See if there are any that you really like!
Reply:Blue delphiniums, blue irises, hydrangeas, grape and regular hyacinth would work for you, and the latter two can be grown by you in cute small pots, clustered together to become centerpieces and then give away as wedding favors. They have a wonderful sweet fragrance and are easy to grow, especially in the north. Search pictures and you can see if you like them.
Reply:Any of these would look lovely. Best of luck.

Reply:You can find hydrangeas in blue... they are nice and petite too! What will also help is if you have a 3rd accent color like white or ivory. This will just help you out in situations like this when you want something that you cannot find an EXACT matched color for your bright blue or khaki.





Good luck!
Reply:Yes their is such a thing as blue flowers, if you are wanting to get some ideals you can go to a flower store, and see what they can come up,and give you some ideals, also you can go with plastic flowers since they don't cost that much as well, and they wont die on you ither.
Reply:Your wedding date and colours are similiar to mine! It is best to go with flowers that are "in season" so you aren't paying an arm and a leg. I did end up going with fall colours, but i was considering just going with yellows, or a natural blue flower. I'm sure whatever you pick will be lovely! goodluck!
Reply:Don't go with blue flowers, they are considered tacky for weddings. PLus dyed flowers get pricey. I'd stick to white/cream coloured flowers. Add a splash of colour with ribbons to your bouquet.
Reply:why not try some bright yellow, orange and pale yellows, white flowers?
