"In Season Flowers"

Something I often hear at my bridal consultations is can you use "in-season flowers". I am sure you have read it in bridal magazines and online; they suggest you to use “in season” flowers to reduce your flower budget. The truth is that the flower market is so global today that the majority of flowers commonly used in wedding designs are available all year long. Also the word “in season” does not necessarily mean inexpensive, peonies for example are in season in the Northeast from May through early July however peonies in general are not an inexpensive flower whether they are “in season”  locally or if we get them in from other parts of the globe during the winter months.

Also, since the flower market is so global most of our product comes from California, South America and Holland it is generally more cost effective to allocate from those sources. When we secure your bridal order we research the market to purchase your flowers at the best available price enabling us to provide you with beautiful flowers suitable to your budget.

When selecting your bridal bouquet and those of your bridesmaids think about not only the exact variety of flowers but the overall color theme, that way your florist can use their expertise in designing your flowers. For example, if you selected a “coffee break” rose for the bouquets and they were not available on the market the week of your wedding, a trusted florist would know that a “leonides” rose would be an appropriate substitution.

It’s always a good idea to trust your florist so that he or she can have some creative liberty in design in the event there is something on the market that will enhance your look & style.

So do not always think “in season” when ordering your flowers, consider how trusted & knowledgeable your florist is to ensure beautiful flowers for your special day.
