What flowers are in season on my wedding day?

Choosing the florals for your wedding day can really bring your whole vision together.

As a vital part of any wedding ceremony, flowers are believed to symbolize new hope and a prosperous future ahead for the couple.

Wedding aisles – pews covered in flower blossoms will send a sweet fragrance of freshness throughout the air.

Traditional flower arrangements and settings implement beauty at weddings.

If you’re dreaming of bold and unique or soft and romantic, fresh florals are the best way to elevate any venue space and tie your wedding theme together.

One way to reduce your costs if you have a smaller budget is to choose flowers that are in season.

Seasonal flowers are widely available, meaning florists and local vendors don’t have to pay premium costs to ship them in. That lower cost is then passed on to you.

Let’s start by looking at a few of the most popular wedding flowers available throughout the year.

Let’s now examine a few types of flowers and their meanings:

Roses

There is a reason that roses are the most popular choice of flowers for brides.

A white rose stands for innocence, beauty, and charm-just the traits every bride wants to portray. A bride that chooses red roses for her wedding flowers is sending a message of passion and of fiery love.

If dark pink roses are used for a wedding, the couple is expressing a thankfulness that they found each other.

An ivy-colored rose stands for fidelity in the marriage-something every new couple strives for.

Tulips

If you are having a spring wedding, there is simply no better way to express your love for your future spouse than by carrying a bouquet of tulips. They are not only beautiful but speak of undying love.

Daisies

Daisies are many people’s favorite flowers, but not a lot of brides use them in their wedding dÈcor. They just might if they understood their significance!

Daisies stand for romance and an innocent spirit. Does that describe you?

Calla Lilies

These graceful flowers are reminders of our past generations when grace and beauty were the rule. Associated with elegance and charm, a calla lily would be the perfect flower if you wanted to create a sophisticated atmosphere for your wedding.

Now that we’ve looked at some of the most popular flowers, let’s talk about how to use them to create just the right wedding event for you.
