The time of year, or even the month of the wedding can also play great importance! Factors such as these can effect flower prices and availability. Each variety of flower has a specific season, which is quite often short. If for example you have always dreamt of an abundance of lilacs as your decorations then plan your wedding for May. The beginning of summer is the perfect time for a lavender filled wedding reception. To avoid disappointment, it is worth checking the availability of your specific dream flowers during the initial stage of planning.
