Every month you will be receiving an email from us with tips and suggestions for your DIY Wedding flowers, cut and shipped direct from Flowerbud’s growers to you.

As we head into the late spring months, many varieties of flowers are entering the peak of their seasons. If your wedding is quickly approaching and you are having trouble deciding what types of flowers to use for your day, you might consider the following:

Peonies. The short peony season is upon us! If your wedding is within the next few weeks, you have the opportunity to use these beautiful, elegant, classic-looking flowers. Varieties come in pink, white, and red.

Tulips. While our grower has the advantage of living in an area where tulips can be cultivated all year round, there is still a cycle that tulips experience during the course of the year. As we get further into the summer, tulips will be a bit smaller than they are at this time of year, so while their general quality won’t wane you might choose to take advantage of this peak time of year for the standard Dutch tulips. Late spring is also the last time of the season that our grower will have some varieties of Parrot tulips available.

Roses. As we get into the hot summer months, roses are going to be harder and harder to ship well. Roses at this time of year are just about perfect, and they can be shipped to most areas of the country with no difficulty or chance of heat damage.

Gerbera Daisies. While these flowers actually do fine during most of the year, now is the time when our grower is likely to have whatever colors you might be looking for in the quantities you need. Color choices include red, yellow, orange, white, pink, hot pink, and peach. The quality is absolutely impeccable with these simple flowers!

Please feel free to email me with any questions you might have, or if you want more information on any of these flowers. You can find pricing, availability, and plenty of DIY tips in the Weddings section of Flowerbud.com.

As always, thank you for your interest in Flowerbud.
