Vinegar is a non-selective herbicide (I consider it to be a herbicide) meaning that it will damage all surrounding vegetation. If the weeds are young (just appeared and does not contain any seeds) and the flowers you planted are fully grown and strong, vinegar will not affect the flower as much as the weed.
If you do decide to use vinegar, make sure that it's 5% acetic acid so that it will not affect the flower as much with its acidity. Don't worry about the acidity of the soil since vinegar contains a weak acid and the soil will correct itself after a day or two. Apply vinegar only to the weed grass and make sure it doesn't spill to the surrounding flowers if it's possible. I have done an experiment on vinegar & weeds and it should take about a week to kill it using about 100 mL per day per weed.

Add some Olive Oil and you could pick a weed grass salad.
