Why Choose In-Season Flowers?

Opting for in-season flowers for your wedding has several benefits:

  • Cost-Effective: In-season blooms are more abundant and therefore more affordable.

  • Eco-Friendly: Reduces the carbon footprint associated with importing flowers from other regions.

  • Freshness: Locally sourced flowers are fresher and more vibrant, enhancing the beauty of your arrangements.

July and August offer a spectacular array of flowers to choose from for your wedding. From the timeless elegance of roses and peonies to the rustic charm of sunflowers and lavender, there is something for every style and theme. By selecting in-season blooms, you not only ensure the freshest and most vibrant arrangements but also make a sustainable choice for your special day.
