Choose In-Season Flowers to Save Money on Your Wedding Flowers

If you’re looking for tips to save money on fresh flowers for your wedding, you can start by choosing in-season flowers for your arrangements.

Choose in-season flowers for your wedding floral arrangements. You might have a certain type of flower in mind for your wedding bouquet or centerpieces, but did you know that your favorite flower might cost you MORE money at a certain time of the year?

Want to save money on your wedding?

The increased cost is typically due to decreased availability. It’s a prime example of supply and demand. Flowers are seasonal, meaning that they tend to bloom during a certain season. Therefore each flower type will be more readily available during their peak times of the year.

Flower costs can vary based on seasonal availability

Be smart about the blooms you select for your bouquets, centerpieces, and more by selecting stems that are in bloom during your wedding month.
