Using in-season flowers can help keep your budget in check. Alexa Morton, floral and design lead at Branching Out Events, tells you which blooms to use based on your wedding month.
January
Anemones
“This dainty bloom makes an impact with its dark center. Use it in your personal flowers to make a statement.”
February
Clooney ranunculus
“Substitute these plump, petal-filled showstoppers for peonies this time of year.”
March
Poppies
“Poppies are the perfect ‘living coral’ color. We recommend keeping these indoors as they are sensitive to heat.”
April
Blooming branches
“Add blooming branches to the top of your tall arrangements for dramatic height in venues with high ceilings.”
May
Peonies
“Showcase these lush blooms in your bouquets, on your bridal cake, or even in bud vases on your cocktail tables.”
June
Astilbe
“This linear bloom is best used in smaller arrangements and personal flowers for added texture.”
July
Calla Lily
“Use Calla Lilies en masse for a clean and modern aesthetic.”
August
Dahlia
“Ask for the ‘dinner plate’ variety for an oversized statement bloom.”
September
Hellebores
“Consider these delicate blooms in the perfect shade of mauve for your early fall wedding.”
October
PeeGee hydrangea
“Switch out your typical white hydrangea for this East Coast bloom to warm up your fall arrangements.”
November
Bittersweet berry
“Fresh or dried, they are the perfect pop of color for your fall palette.”
December
Amaryllis
“This classic holiday bloom gives you big bang for your buck.”
