The August flower is the Gladiolus. Native to South Africa the plant has sword-shaped leaves with one-sided spikes of funnel-shaped, bright flowers.

The Bridal bouquet is the most intimate floral arrangement for the wedding and will be in many of your photographs. It is usually from this that the decisions of your other flowers choices will be made.
So if you can’t afford many flowers – at the very least don’t skimp on the bridal bouquet
White is still traditionally the most popular colour for the brides bouquet – however a coloured bouquet can really stand out against the white of the brides dress and make a real focal point drawing the eye where it should be on her wedding day to the bride herself. Colours for bridal bouquet can vary from soft pastels such as pink through to rich vibrant colours such as orange, and violets.
At the end of the day the choice of flowers for the bouquet depend on what you want, the style of your dress, your height and wedding theme.
There are various styles of bouquet these include round (or hand tied), sheaf, and shower bouquets.
Styles
Round or Hand-tied bouquet – The most popular at the moment. They can come in many different styles. A More formal style with one type of flower and colour neatly round and domed. A Looser style with different colours and textures. A more country wild style with a just picked look of different types of flowers with plenty of green and bits ‘sticking out’ of the round of the bouquet.
Sheaf – Over arm bouquet more suited to the taller bride who has a closer fitting dress
Shower Bouquet – A large trailing bouquet which is particularly suited to larger romantic style wedding gowns. These usually consist of flowers wired to a handle and are a very traditional shape of bouquet. However your choice of flowers does not have to be restricted by this you could add colour and a personal flower choice to make this more unique to you.
Posy – is a very small bouquet quite minimalist suiting a fitted and more understated dress. However minimalist does not have to mean cheap for example a posy of Lily of the valley is quite a luxurious option.
Pomander – This is a ball of flowers usually without foliage which is suspended on a ribbon for the bride to wear on her wrist.
