Why would a florist suggest alternative flowers to what you request? One giant reason: seasonality. Take this scenario for example - buying strawberries. Yes, you can get strawberries in January but a) they will not taste nearly as sweet and delicious and b) they will cost much more. When products that need to be grown are purchased out of season, it comes at a literal cost and a quality cost. Plus, sometimes they absolutely are not available.
As your florist and I want the best looking wedding flowers for you, and for you to have as many as the budget allows. Yes, we may offer alternative suggestions to specific flowers because w know which alternative blooms will be seasonally show-stopping and also match your color palette and aesthetic.
The best way to approach your wedding flower planning? Give your florist a color palette and a desired aesthetic. It will be worth it to you to trust your florist with a few words to describe the color and vibe you’re going for. 💐
