Making It Work

If your heart is set on out-of-season blooms:

• Consider alternatives: There's often a similar flower that IS in season


• Budget accordingly: Out-of-season flowers cost more


• Use sparingly: Feature them in the bouquet only


• Trust your florist: We can often source special requests
