Let’s talk about what’s in season!
There are so many reasons why I think you should keep an open mind about using nontraditional flowers for your next event. Here’s just my top three reasons why I think using the best of what nature has to offer can make the biggest impact for your party and our planet!
🌎 support your local farmers: did you know most of your event flowers fly first class to your florist? I’m not opposed to this and quite frequently buy flowers from all over the world to make sure I hit my clients requests. But when I have the opportunity, I contact local growers and harvest all that I can from Sunflower Hill Farm. Not only does this mean I’m making less of a negative impact on our environment but I’m also supporting hardworking growers and celebrating their successes through beautiful arrangements! Also, idk about you but travel really takes it out of me and I’ve noticed the commute from the garden straight to your bouquet seems to be a lot less stressful for the flower than going through TSA
🌍 yearly reminder of your special day: This is a big one for me. When I got engaged I knew instantly I wanted to marry my favorite person during my favorite time of the year SPRING. When all the yellow trumpets pop up early spring to ring in the new growing season, I get giddy with excitement for what’s to come and the cheery bright daffodils are the perfect depiction of how I feel come March. I used all the different faces of daffodils I could and have planted similar bulbs at home so I can be reminded annually of the best day of my life.
🌏 uniqueness: using nontraditonal flowers may sound a little scary but trust me, there is so much fun to be had outside of your standard rose. Don’t get me wrong, I love a full blown out rose as much as the next girl and I think roses scream elegance and bridal. But when paired with something so personal and timely to your big day, nontraditional flowers add that extra bit of spice. Utilize some blooms that won’t be available for everyone all year round. It really makes your flowers personalized and stand out from the mainstream.
