Flowers are GROWN not manufactured. This is what that means:
• Different kinds of flowers grow better in different climates
• Flowers have growing seasons just like fruits and veggies
• Flower crops can be ruined by the unpredictable Mother Nature
• Nothing is ever guaranteed
So what’s the point???
The point is that not all flowers are grown equal. Take these Anemones in this picture for example. Have you ever seen Anemones so big and luscious before?! Probably not. And this is because you’re getting them shipped from across the ocean when they’re not at peak season and they’re being cut prematurely just to fulfill an order.
Every flower has its moment during the year, and you’re always going to get a more beautiful design when you utilize the flowers that are at their absolute best. This is why it is essential to trust your floral designer with the product. I’m not saying not to have favorite flowers, I’m just saying that if your florist says it’s a bad idea to get Anemones in August, it’s a bad idea.
Our instant gratification/consumer culture has seeped into every area of our lives, and that means the wedding industry too. But flowers are snooty, and they don’t dance to any tune but their own, so it’s always better to go with the flow than try to fight the current when it comes to flowers.
