Perth Wedding Bells | 01/08/2012

Unfortunately when organising your wedding flowers you need to remember that you are dealing with nature and sometimes your favourite flower may not be in season when you have organised your wedding day. If the type of flower that you want is a must, you may want to find out when it is in season before booking your wedding to avoid disappointment. Very rarely, the requested blooms may still be hard to get even though they SHOULD be in season! The good news is that there are so many different flower types available now that there is always a suitable replacement. Here is a rough LOCAL (Perth, Western Australia) guide of which flowers should be around in each season.
