I thought it was time to write am informational post to assist those of you reading this who may feel overwhelmed about selecting the flowers for your wedding.
When choosing the flowers to achieve the look you and your fiance are envisioning for your big day it is important to consider which flowers are readily available in the season you have set the date in. This can be a daunting task considering the seemingly endless amount of flower varieties you see while flipping through your stack of bridal magazines or scrolling through theknot.com; however there are certain flowers that are prevalent in each season which usually means the cost per stem is less, and considering how expensive weddings can be it is nice to have the knowledge that will help save some money without compromising quality.
Stepping into the S.F Flower Mart at any given season I am greeted with hundreds of flower species, a thousand different colors and a huge variety of textures; so please keep this in mind when viewing the list that I have compiled.
