Summer Wedding Flowers- HELP!

I'm on a tight budget and having a summer wedding. I want my bridesmaids in a sapphire or royal blue color gowns, and i want an arrangement of te bouqets with orange and yellow in it. Anyone got any ideas of a bouqet to put together with those colors tht would go with the color blue dress and be the least expensive of the summer flower? Undecided

    what about daisies? they come in all different colors, you can get the gerbia ones in yellow and orange, and they'd be fairly inexpensive. also when you go in to see a florist she might be able to recommend other options.

    There are actually a lot of flowers that are fairly inexpensive in summer- Asiatic lilies, daisies, alstroemeria, zinnias, dahlias, gladiolus, etc. I would talk to your florist and tell them what you like- colors, flowers, style of bouquet- and what you don't like. Then let them know what your budget is. They should be able to create something beautiful in any budget, and you may be surprised by how much they can do with a limited budget!

    Carnations are very budget friendly and come in those colors.  I would consider using them as filler with a few other pricier flowers (like gerberas, dahlias, etc).  Ordering Roses in bulk can also be pretty budget friendly if you put the bouquets together yourself.

    have you thought about the DIY route? you can find a large variety of flowers from wholesale sites and create your own arrangements.

    i don't know how you feel about sunflowers, but teddy bear sunflowers are relatively inexpensive and large. you wouldn't need a ton of them and could use other orange and yellow elements for texture
