Choosing Wedding Flowers: A Month-By-Month Guide

No matter when or where you're getting married, flowers will always add a beautiful, natural radiance to your wedding ceremony. Thanks to their hundreds of different shapes, sizes, and colors, you can customize your wedding flowers to perfectly match your decor theme. Flowers have been used in weddings for literally hundreds of years, and we love seeing all of the different ways brides choose to incorporate them into their big days!

Choosing Wedding Flowers

Choosing the flowers for your wedding can be a big decision. You have to decide what colors you want, how much your wedding budget will allow you to spend, what types of floral displays you want, how many bouquets and vases to purchase, and what kinds of flowers you want to use. 

One of the challenges of choosing your wedding flowers is that each type of flower is only available during certain times of year. While we can't change when the flowers are in season, we can make your decision-making process a little bit easier! The team at WhereBridesGo.com did some research on which kinds of flowers are available during what times of year. Here's what we found.
