Wedding Flowers For the Season

Flowers will always be present in a wedding. A wedding will never be complete without blooms. Aside from being used as a bouquet, corsage and boutonniere, they are also used as decorations for the venue and the reception. Wedding flowers are indispensable details for this wonderful celebration.

The common color of blossoms used in a wedding is white. It is blended with other colors depending on the preference of the couple. Often times, the colorful flowers are selected based on their availability. Moreover, floras in season are easier to find and less expensive compared to those that are not in season.

A winter wedding is challenging when it comes to the selection of blossoms. This is because during the winter only a limited number of flowers bloom. Also, because of the freezing temperature during the winter, floras need a higher level of handling to prolong its freshness. There's a huge possibility that the flowers will wither quickly.

During the summer, blooms such as Alstromeria, Bells of Ireland, Chrysanthemum, English Lavender, Forget-me-not, Freesia, Gerbera Daisy, Hydrangea and Iris are common. A summer wedding also faces the same challenge as the winter wedding. The hot temperature makes blossoms lose moisture and dry up quickly. The only difference is that more flowers bloom in summer when compared to winter.

Spring is the most ideal season for wedding petals. The flowers bloom the best during this season. The vibrant, fragrant and colorful blooms are perfect in spring. Since more floras bloom during the spring, there is a wide variety to choose from. Amaryllis, Anemone, Bells of Ireland, Camellias, Casa Blanca Lily, Cosmos and Daffodils are just few of the flowers that bloom in spring.

Fall has few blooms available. Obviously, it's the time of the year where the plants and trees shed their leaves. Aster, Chrysanthemum, Dahlia, Marigold, Statice and Zinnia are the flowers commonly available in fall. Florists resort to using dried leaves and twigs to their floral arrangements in weddings since only a few blossoms are available.

There are also flowers that are available regardless of what the season is. Examples of these are Baby's Breath, Bachelor's Button, Calla Lily, Carnations, Delphinium, Eucalyptus, Gardenia, Gladiolus, Heather, Lily of the Valley and Orchid.

Wedding flowers make the celebration more romantic and more elegant. They certainly add a different touch in the wedding. Their color, smell, shape and texture make an extraordinary contribution to the aesthetic appeal of the occasion.

To your beautiful wedding!
