Spring – Bells of Ireland, Casablanca Lily, Hyacinth, Lilacs, Tulip
Summer – Chrysanthemum, English Lavender, Hydrangea, Lily, Snapdragons
Fall – Aster, Dahlia, Marigold, Statice, Zinnia, Chrysanthemum, Dried Leaves
Winter – Amaryllis, Camellias, Cosmos, Holly, Star of Bethlehem, Sweet Pea
On a Budget? Try these helpful hints:
- Use only in season and readily available flowers.
- If you can, avoid holding your wedding in February when flower prices are at an annual high due to Valentine’s Day.
- Carnations are one of the cheapest flowers out there, and can look quite lovely when carefully arranged.
- More and more brides these days are arranging their own flowers, such as bouquets of simple roses tied with a ribbon.
- Consider ordering flowers from an online wholesaler.
