Curcuma ? a tropical flower that blooms mid summer. Adds character to a bouquet or arrangement.
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!
