Martagon (turk's cap types) might be ready, Definitely peonies, some veronicas, poppies, a lot of the hardy roses start blooming in June. What about tulips and vines like clematis. Irises would be blooming then as well. There must be more, especially in the shrub area, like mockorange, or in annuals. Someone else will probably have lots of ideas.

Mock orange is a great suggestion since it is fragrant as well. Lilacs in vases would add fragrance too. My Hawthorn tree is usually blooming by then and they're gorgeous, crab apple...I'm trying to think of things you could put in vases for added height to stretch your flower budget.

Peonies would be gorgeous for wedding flowers...especially the white-pinkish ones. Lovely!

OK, here's my lists of what was blooming in my St. Paul garden in June 2005:

Hello, I posted a message on another forum and someone directed me to your post. I'm getting married on June 10 of this year. Flowers will be a do-it-myself affair. But like you, I don't want to sacrifice beauty. Would you mind telling me what you ended up using?

Thanks!
