Top Ten Most Popular Wedding Flowers

When it comes to weddings, flowers can be just as important as the bride's dress. Not only does she have to walk down the isle with an exceptionally beautiful wedding bouquet, but flowers are also used for many other things like decorating the wedding venue, decorating the reception hall, centerpieces, boutonnières, etc. Many people don't realize just how important flowers can be and for some, adding flowers to their weddings can either make their wedding day more beautiful or make them go broke. Doing a little research can go a long way and help you save money. Before you start making a list of all the flowers you would like to have at your wedding, find out what flowers are actually in season. Buying flowers that are not in season will cost you more since your florists will most likely have to order the flowers from a different country. Another thing to consider when buying flowers is the time of year. Generally, during certain months, like February and May, the price of certain flowers tend to increase, due to popular holidays. So to help you out and make things a little less stressful for you, I've come up with a list of the most popular wedding flowers and listed when they are in season. Check it out to see if your favorite flower has made the list.
