Bridal Flower Price Pitfall – Learn to Save on Season Wedding Flowers
In a previous entry we talked about ways to save on your wedding flowers. One of the tips suggested was to pick flowers that are “in season”. For instance, Forsythias, Hydrangeas, Roses and Tulips are in season during the winter. While Calla Lilies, Ivies and Baby Breath are typically always in season. Picking a flower during it’s season can help reduce the overall cost of your wedding. However, one Bridal Flower tip that we forget to mention is in addition to flowers being in season with respect to their bloom / growth, you must also be aware of what flowers are in high demand due to the season that your wedding is planned for. For instance, yellows and oranges are typically in higher demand in the fall season, while reds are typically in greater demand during the winter, and more particular, around Christmas. The high demand for certain colors can often times double the cost of a flower. When meeting with a florist, ask whether or not the flowers you like will be in high demand… Additionally, once you settle, make sure you lock in a rate, and give a deposit so that if the price of the flower goes up, you will not be penalized.
