Crash course in Wedding Flowers, Part I

I have enclosed a great reference for not only brides, but for anyone who will be working with any type of floral design. The Seasonality Chart gives a quick overview of which flowers grow and bloom in each month; this also is extremely helpful in determing your floral budget. The flowers that are in season will be much more affordable than a flower that is not "in season". Your florist will also be able to suggest alternative flowers that are budget friendly while still adhereing to your theme, but there's more to come on that with Part III of this crash course.
