Wedding Flowers - What’s in Season?

Flowers are another important part of any wedding ceremony. Flowers add beauty and freshness – even elegance – to any event, more so to a wedding. That is why wedding planners or couples who are coming up with their dream wedding take great pains to make sure that the flowers for their wedding are perfect. When taking flowers into consideration during your wedding planning stage, it is not enough to just pick out flowers out of the blue.

One of the foremost considerations that wedding planners or a couple should bear in mind is the time of the year the wedding is going to take place. It is not an unbreakable rule, but it is practical to choose flowers that are in season at the time of the wedding. That is, unless you have a lot money and the finances are not part of the equation. However, if you are like a lot of people, you would want to be practical when it comes to your wedding expenses.

Practicality does not have to mean less beauty and quality, though. Choosing the flowers in season during you wedding ceremony is one way to be practical and at the same time make the most out of what is available. Let’s start with spring, as it is the season we are in right now. This is one of the best seasons to get married when it comes to seasonal flowers. Most everything is in bloom and you can have a wide range of choices.

If you have chosen spring as your wedding time, the chances are that you want a fresh and radiant atmosphere for your wedding. The perfect spring flowers for your ceremony would then include roses, tulips, anemones, daffodils, and Lily of the Valley. Roses and tulips are always favorites – you can never go wrong with them. Anemones look a bit like peonies and come in a variety of light and lively colors. Lily of the Valley adds a twist to your floral decoration with its intoxicating fragrance.

For summer, the best flowers to use would be Calla Lilies, Dendrobium orchids, dahlias, daisies, chrysanthemums, and baby’s breath. As you can see, you also have a lot to choose from in the summer. More so, flowers are quite cheap at this time of the year as well.

For fall, you still have quite a range to choose from, though perhaps not the same as summer and spring. You can add more texture and bright dark colors. Make use of grasses, berries, leaves and branches. Just use your imagination and you will surely come up with a unique and astounding floral theme for your fall wedding!

Winter may be the hardest time to find fresh flowers at an affordable price. Yet there is no reason to despair. There are a lot of people getting married during wintertime and flower shops usually have lots of choices all year round. You cannot escape the fact that flowers will probably be more expensive at this time but it does not mean that you can’t find something to suit your budget.
