Flowers by Season - How to Save a Few Dimes!

If your heart is set on Dahlias in Spring or Camellias in Summer be prepared to pay a pretty price to have those specially made available to you. Picking wedding flowers in season can save you a great deal of money. Sure, growers are now able to fly almost anything in from the other side of the world, but you'll pay a premium for that. Here is a US guide to what flowers are generally in season to help you get started. Talk specifically to your florist or grower about what is available.

This chart can also help you decide when to get married. If you want huge amounts of different pink flowers, fall might not be the best time for you to get married. On the other hand, if adore zinnias and dahlias, perhaps you should have a fall wedding.
