One thing many prospective brides or couples do not consider when choosing flowers for their wedding is the availability of particular flowers during the time of year they plan to get married.
Gardenias are available all year long. These richly aromatic flowers are typically cut by the grower to have a stem less than an inch long. Florists can easily fix this for use in your bouquets and corsages with the use of a bit of wire and tape but it makes the use of gardenias impractical in some types of centerpieces. They really are wonderful when floated in shallow bowls.
Gardenias will brown very easily from contact with your hands. Handle them with care and expect corsages and bouquets made with them to show some wear and tear by the end of the reception both from lack of water and from handling.
Hydrangeas are available all year long. However, there are wide variations of price and quality for this flower. Hydrangeas are in season during the summer season. While many varieties of hydrangeas are available all year, many hydrangeas bought off-season are undersized and lower in quality for a much higher price.
Hydrangeas are a very thirsty flower and prone to wilt easily from heat or lack of water. The white varieties of this flower show bruising more than other colors do.
You can purchase wedding flowers from a grocery store floral department, farmer’s markets or from a flower shop. If you opt for a flower shop, visit a reputable flower shop, preferably one that has years of experience with weddings.
