Why Choose Seasonal Flowers? 

Seasonal flowers are not only fresher and of better quality, but they also come at a realistic price because they don't require extra costs, such as growing under special conditions. Before deciding on your flowers, research which varieties are in season for the date of your wedding. Your florist can offer helpful suggestions and advice.

Choosing flowers that are currently in season ensures the best value for your money and a natural look for your bouquet. If you decide to go for out-of-season flowers, be prepared for a higher price due to their limited availability.
