I am getting married in September and I was wondering what type of blue flowers are in season then?

I am getting married in Flagstaff, AZ and one of our grocery store told us they could order flowers for us...they said it would not be too expensive, and we're going to make everything floral ourselves. I just need some suggestions on common blue flowers. We're looking for a true or light blue, nothing too purple-y. Any help would be great!

You might want to make sure that they have done this before. They might think that it's a piece of cake to order flowers, but flowers being products of nature, availability of some flowers are unpredictable.





Predictable ones are those grown in greenhouse (such as roses and lilies). As to Hydrangea, some of them are grown in greehouse (those with small heads) and are available year-round. Gorgeous ones are available up untill Septemeber. So this is a close call. Unpredictable ones are "wild"-flowers grown in the field (so-called field crop); Delphinium is one of them. In the US, most Delphinium come from California. They don't have one in September. So if you want Delphinium in September, your grocer should get it from South America (Columbia). Theirs aren't as good as domestic ones, though.





Anyway, if they are experienced, they should know what flowers they should be able to get, and what flowers can be iffy. They should have a Plan-B if the flowers you want belong to the "iffy" category. They have only one shot to get this right.
Reply:hydrangea, phlox, baptista. look for an online nursery like spring hill and they will have searches for specific colored plants. good luck!
Reply:Congratulations, I may have at last found my own true love too and I am glad someone else did too. Try hydrangeas, they are pretty. Or, you could ask at one of those professional flower shops, get their advice and when they tell you, then bring it back to your grocery store and order there. It definitely won't be as expensive as a professional place would be, but you will be able to get their feedback!


I wish you the best!!!
Reply:asters should be in season about then...there's some really pretty blues and they look lovely with white or yellow roses!....

Reply:Hydrangeas comes to mind first.
Reply:hydrangeas, aconite, delphinium. There's one called bachelor's button, but that's more of a wildflower, might not be commercially grown. Another called Eryngium...blue sea holly is the common name, I think...should be somewhat available.





I'd suggest delpinium for a strong, vibrant blue, but do an images search on the others - you might like them.
