Flowers 101 for Your Wedding
Choosing the right flowers for your wedding can be a challenge, especially if you’re not familiar with seasonal blooms. Florists can always get out-of-season flowers flown in, but this can come with a higher cost. For a more budget-friendly option, consider selecting flowers that are in season locally. By doing so, you can get the freshest blooms at a reasonable price. Before you begin choosing flowers at random, you should first decide on the style of your bouquet. Do you want a large, bold arrangement, or a smaller, more subdued design? The same applies to your bridesmaids’ bouquets. Once you have a clearer idea of how big you want your floral arrangements to be, you can start browsing through what’s in season for the time of year you’re getting married. Below is a comprehensive list of beautiful flowers that are available during each of the four seasons.
