Which Flowers are in Season for a Wedding
June 4, 2009
One of the most green things you can do for your wedding is use flowers and food that are in season and local. To help you out, I decided to create this guide for what flowers are available when. Unlike other guides, I decided to organize this based on the time of the year and the COLOR of the flower — just because that’s how I think! ![]()
