Flowers in Season
With their explosion of colour and life, flowers will be a unique and memorable addition to your day. After you’ve decided on the date and colour scheme of your wedding it’s time to work with your florist to create the dream image. Like all things natural, however, flowers have to answer to mother nature. You may have to take into account what flowers are available in the season of your wedding. Flowers that are in season will be less expensive and you’re sure to be able to have them ordered especially for you.
Before you have your heart set on any type of bloom, do speak with your florist. They have a wealth of experience in wedding floral artistry and will be able to provide ideas that you may not have thought about. They also understand the coordination of flowers; their colours, shapes, smells, etc and will ensure that your selection is the best for your wedding. By giving the flowers for your wedding a little thought you will be surprised at the stunning impact they will make on your wedding day.
