Getting Married in Aug in MI need to plant flowers?

We just recently bought a nice house with a nice yard. We decided to get married in our yard around 5pm. My problem is that I'm not much of a gardener and I don't have a clue as to what to plant that will still be in bloom on Aug. 18. Another problem is that the prevouse owners had a flower garden and vinery but stopped taking care of them so I don't have a clue if I'm suppost to cut the dead vines and remove all the dead flowers. My wedding colors are Apple (dark red) White and the men will wear Apple colored vests Black pants and women Apple colored satin dresses. Me White him black Tux.

well MI is not much different from ct in terms of climate so alot of annuals will still be in bloom in august. Youll want to stay will late bloomers or flowers that bloom throughout the year.



impatiens, begonias, geraniums, babys breath, marigolds etc are good choices as are roses. avoid climbing roses though.



each year my partner and I plant 1000 annuals this year will be no different exception being our ceremony will be held in the garden and we will have added a japanese garden as well.
Reply:Call up the folks at Bordines in Clarkston or Rochester.

Usually you can take samples of the dead plant to the center and someone will be able to identify it for you, and give you some idea of what to do with it.



How about those wine colored sunflowers, they bloom then and look pretty snazzy as well.

Zinnias bloom at the same time - and are easy enough to grow. SAme thing with Nasturiums and they come in red, deep red shades.

Congrats.
Reply:I would consider impatiens if I were you. They are annuals that you can plant in the end of May and they will be full grown and all flowers by the big day. They come in a ton of different colors and you can even see what color the flower will be before you buy it, as the small ones will already be in bloom when you buy the plants. They are easy to take care of and won't add extra work to your already busy wedding planning.
Reply:Roses will still be blooming IF you cut the blooms off before they make hips. The bushes will continue blooming until they are allowed to create fruit.
