What Flowers are in season in May?

I am getting married in Indiana May 2009. What times of flowers are locally in season? Especially vibrant colored flowers.

What Flowers are in season in May?
Wow! First of all, I wish you the best of luck! Secondly, might I say that I, too, was married in May ... in Indiana! I would love to know where you are getting married! I would love to know what bouquet you decide on once you decide! Flowers are so much fun and such a part of any wedding! Anyway, I used tulips at my wedding and they turned out beautifully. I am particularly fond of tulips anyway and found a florist that was, too! They last quite a bit longer than other flowers (especially if you take proper care of the bouquet after your wedding) and the color options are honestly endless. There are several variations of tulips, too. A lot of people are not aware of this. The petals differ, the flowers have different textures, different shapes on the petals ...





Gerber daisies are very hardy and come in many brilliant colors. They come in all different sizes so you could use them as the main flower in your bouquet or as an accent or filler flower. I love gerber daisies!





You will find that tulips and irises work fabulously together. They are both extremely vibrant in color and compliment one another with their textures.





Lillies work fabulously, too. There are not as many color options but they are vibrant and extremely hardy. And they add a certain touch of class or elegance to bouquets.





A beautiful bouquet you could use would include hyacinths, freesia, and tulips. Another would be roses, parrot tulips, and hypericum. Roses, tulips, and cala lillies make a gorgeous statement.





The first link I have included just shows you all the different varieties of tulips available. The second one will show you different bouquet options using the flowers I have suggested. I have also tried to include as many of the flowers I can think of in a list along with the colors they come in.








*Tulips - Too many colors and types to even list! There are regular tulips, tulips with fringed petals, lilly-flowered tulips, darwin hybrid tulips (the colors are intense and deep!), parrot tulips, rembrandt tulips, viridiflora tulips, double late tulips, fosteriana tulips, grieggi tulips ... and the choices of color and texture are both endless

Reply:May is a great time of year for flowers as there is a huge variety available and very few things that you can't get. Please tell me your wedding is not mothers day weekend though, as you are going to encounter some serious floral problems if so. Mother's day is the busiest week of the year for us and most florists either will not book a wedding for that weekend or will only do minimal items. Contact some local florists and ask some basics, though most will likely not need to formally take the order until early in 2009. I may be able to help you with finding a florist if you would like to email me. Good luck!
