Seasonal Romance

Seasonal Romance

Q My wife-to-be and I are trying to choose what time of year to get married, but we can't decide. What popular flowers are available in each season?
A Sarah Lawton says: Choosing flowers for your wedding based on the season is a great way to add a natural touch to your big day. Here's a list of some of my favourites to help you decide:

Spring (March–May): Tulips are symbolic of love and happiness; daffodils represent new beginnings; and peonies are known for their lush, full blooms. There are also fragrant and delicate lilacs and colourful hyacinths available.

Summer (June–August): Roses are classic, versatile and available in a wide range of varieties and colours. Sunflowers are bright and cheerful, while dahlias are bold and dramatic. There are also charming lavenders, voluminous hydrangeas and hardy zinnias.

Autumn (September–November): Chrysanthemums symbolise joy and longevity and are often cost-effective. Marigolds are bright and warm-toned, while asters are star-shaped and colourful. Dahlias are a personal favourite of mine that continue blooming into the autumn. Alternatively, roses are still widely available and sunflowers are available early in the season.

Winter (December–February): Amaryllis are bold and festive; holly adds a classic winter touch; and poinsettias are iconic for the Christmas period. If you're looking for something different, camellias are elegant and available in various colours.
