An important part of planning your wedding flowers is considering your wedding date.  Most flowers are available year round, but if they are out of season in your area, it may cost more to bring them in from other parts of the world.

 

There are certain flowers that cannot be obtained out of season for any price, just a few, but if these are your absolute favorites, you’ll definitely want to keep that in mind when choosing the date! A quick call to your florist will solve any disappointment later on.

 

Locally grown flowers and in season flowers are more affordable and usually fresher, they do not have to make a trip, so to speak, and then rehydrate upon arrival. If a green environment is important to your theme, keep it local. Choose a color scheme instead of particular blooms. Leave some of the artistic details to your floral designer.

 

Always consider temperatures around your wedding date. If you plan to have a snowy January wedding theme and wish to take photos outside with your flowers, keep in mind that some blooms are not tolerant to cold conditions. Consult with your florist about which flowers can hold up, take the outdoor photos after the ceremony, or have your designer create a silk flower mock-up just for those chilly pics!

 

The same idea goes with certain blooms in the middle of August. Flowers that tend to wilt in the heat need to be conditioned ahead of time and must not be out of water for long photo sessions. Discuss with your florist, which blooms may be a problem and make substitutions that will last longer. An example is a balmy outdoor beach wedding, instead of stephanotis, choose white dendrobium orchids that love the tropical temps.

 

These tips will help you coordinate your wedding date with your dream floral look. Any questions, consult your designer or send me an email…I’d be happy to help with over 15 years of wedding flower experience – Lenore.
