Flower choices are endless. I've only covered just a handful of what's available. If your wedding
is spring through fall learn what flowers are native to your area.
You may be pleasantly surprised at what is available and of course the pricing will be much better
on local flowers. If you're looking for those more exotic flowers then set a budget and start
checking early.
This will give you an idea of what is available in your budget range. Remember exotic and tropical
flower prices can change dramatically in one season depending on availability.
You may be able to get a florist to lock into pricing or at least set a guarantee of the maximum
price for your future wedding date. Often local florists grow some of the tropicals in their
greenhouses to that may also help keep the pricing a little more affordable.
So choose your wedding theme, choose your colors, and then you can start to decide what flowers
are right for your wedding. Best Wishes!
