When choosing what kinds of flowers you will have at your wedding, of course you’re thinking about colors first and foremost. But something else to keep in mind especially if you’d like to save some green is which flowers are in season during the month of your wedding. This can save you both time and money.
If you pick flowers that are in season, your florist can most likely get them locally which will save some time on delivery and of course save your pocket book from pricing shipments that have to travel across the globe for your big day. If you love roses, you’re in luck because you can get them year round in just about any color….just avoid getting them in February since that month they are at a premium. (thank Valentine’s Day for that) Many others are in season year round as well. See the list below for specifics.
Your florist will be able to help you choose in season blooms but I have listed some below so you have an idea of what you can get……

What’s great about having your wedding in spring is that so many types of flowers are in season and match great with spring wedding colors. Some spring flowers are lilies, cherry blossoms, bird of paradise, roses, tulips, and more. All these types of flowers would go great with any bright color. Whether its your bouqet, your bridesmaid’s flowers, or flowers a long the aisle go with what you enjoy most. Go with a flower that you think is unique to you and that you think goes well with your wedding color. You can’t go too wrong with matching flowers to your wedding color. Spring brings a burst of colors and flowers so don’t be afraid to take advantage of it. Add some flowers to the bridesmaid’s hair or maybe even to yours!
