What are the Best Flowers for Each Season?

If you are planning a wedding and are preparing bouquets and centerpieces, the availability of fresh flowers is something to keep in mind. Availability and much lower prices depend much on whether they should be shipped from Holland, Ecuador and Colombia. While any flower could be found available year round from around every corner of the globe, it’s always best to focus on in-season flowers to ensure the most beautiful selection and avoiding global weather fiascos that could potentially ruin a crop and prevent your shipment (or make it triple the price!).
This is a starter list of the types of flowers that are considered in season at certain times of the year. Keep in mind that this list is considered a national average. The weather may be milder in November where you live, so you might have access to additional summer flowers in addition to your locally grown florals and greenery.
Use this chart to research further and ask Whole Blossoms for additional ideas on what is current in the floral availability. As you explore these lists, you may be inspired by mention of a flower you never thought to bring into your décor plans, and your groom too may discover a flower type that would be perfect for his own boutonniere or as a gift for honored women on his side of the family.
