Have a wedding coming up this summer? It's time to start compiling a list of flowers you'll need for such a special occasion. If you're planning a more casual, low-key event, you may only need a few centerpieces, boutonnieres, and bouquets. If you plan on going all out for such a celebration, you'll likely want flowers in the venue bathrooms and on every single cocktail table. Regardless, we've put together a guide so you can not only get the flowers you'll need for your special event, but pick up the flowers you may have forgotten about.

Flowers for Personal Use

It's painfully obvious who requires flowers for a wedding, but there are many others who may need flowers, as well. So, after you get the bridesmaids and the bride covered, you may want to buy flowers, such as:

●        A bouquet to toss at reception

●        A bouquet for the flower girl

Flowers for the Ceremony

If there's one thing for certain, it's that you can't forget flowers for the ceremony. It's important to speak with your florist to see if it's possible to save some money and repurpose flowers used at the reception. Such common flower arrangements that are often used for ceremonies are:

●        Petals for guests to toss
