An essential part of the look of a wedding is down to the floral arrangements. Not to mention the bouquet that the bride carries down the aisle, the flowers that the bridesmaids hold and the buttonholes. There’s no way of avoiding it- flowers are an integral part of a wedding. They can also be a costly part, but you can save your pennies by staying wise to flowers that are in season.

Spring Weddings
The birds are tweeting, the sun is shining and the daffodils are peeking open. Spring is not only a warm and joyous season- it also has lovely connotations of new starts. What could be more apt for a wedding? Pastel shades of green, blue and yellow work fantastically well for Spring weddings. Anemones are beautiful and dainty flowers and with several colors to choose from they can be adapted for all color schemes. Alternatively, hyacinth looks stunning scattered across tables as decoration. For the bouquet and buttonholes, try boldly colored tulips tied together for something a little different. For a pretty, feminine look, pink peonies are beautiful arranged into a posy.

Summer Weddings
Summer offers plenty of choice for flowers. Bright, happy shades of white and yellow work brilliantly, or go for something a bit more daring such as bright shades of fuchsia and emerald. During summer, you can work with almost any color scheme. For the bouquets, try a few sunflowers tied together with yellow ribbon. This simple idea looks stunning on a warm day. Freesias also look lovely- for a bold effect, mix a few contrasting colors together within the bouquet or fill goldfish bowls with freesia for a quirky table centerpiece Other ideas of flowers for decorating the venue include orchids. Place long stemmed orchids in tall vases for a cascading effect.

Autumn Weddings
The nights are drawing in and the leaves are crisp on the ground. Autumn weddings need warm, cosy color schemes and flowers to match. Try browns and oranges to match the colors of the falling leaves. Chrysanthemums in orange shades look great for an Autumnal scheme. They have a slightly wild look about them that works beautifully in bouquets and buttonholes. Orange calla lilies are also available for the Autumn period and have a gorgeous rustic style that fits into country themes wonderfully. You could even go for something a little different and use pumpkins as centerpieces surrounded by orange and brown leaves.

Winter Weddings
For the Christmas season, what other colors could you use than red and green? As festive as it gets, this color scheme is warm and romantic: just what you need for a wedding in front of an open fire. Roses are available all year round, and red roses are without doubt the most romantic of them all. A collection of deep burgundy roses in a bouquet with emerald green leaves looks stunning and a single rose for each buttonhole is an elegant choice. For decoration, hang wreaths of berries and holly around the venue for that Christmas spirit. Don’t forget the mistletoe!

Flowers are available all year around and in all colors They can convey all kinds of moods and some even have symbolism. For example, hyacinth is a symbol of loveliness and red roses of passion. The world offers so many different flowers that it can be difficult to narrow down your options. However, by researching those that are in season for your wedding day and speaking to your florist, you can find the flowers to accompany your wedding as it blooms.
