Your flowers: Buy locally, save money
Filed under: Flowers
Yes, hothouses and refrigeration and the wonders of modern transportation mean you can have orchids in February in Minnesota, if you want -- but you'll pay for it!Buying local, buying in season can cut your floral costs dramatically. Here is a very cool interactive site that allows you to choose flowers that will be in season in your area at the time of your wedding. It also provides pop-up pictures of the flowers, in case, like me, you had NO IDEA what a ranunculus looks like. (Vibrant and rich with petals, as it happens! Those are ranunculae in the picture.)
And, while sunflowers are not everyone's idea of a wedding flower, some brides might like to know they can be had locally all summer long in the East, Midwest, and South.
