Seasonal Flowers Guide: What Blooms Each Month of the Year
Using seasonal flowers allows us to design with blooms that are naturally at their best. When flowers are in season, they’re more readily available, fresher, and better suited to the time of year—resulting in arrangements that feel effortless, intentional, and beautifully cohesive.
Because seasonal flowers are easier for us to source, there’s greater availability and flexibility in design. This means we’re more likely to have access to the colors, textures, and varieties that align with your vision, without needing last-minute substitutions or compromises.
Another major benefit of choosing seasonal blooms is cost savings. Flowers that are grown locally or regionally during their natural season don’t require overseas importing, specialty shipping, or climate-controlled transportation. This reduces sourcing costs, allowing more of your budget to go toward fuller arrangements, premium design details, or upgraded installations—rather than logistics.
