Things We Love… Favorite Fall Wedding Flowers in Season!

Good Morning!  Today we are sharing with you some of our favorite flowers that are in season during the Fall!  When you plan an Autumn wedding you want to be sure to choose flowers that are in season so they are FRESH and ATTAINABLE.  Flowers that are harvested in the fall months will naturally look more vibrant and healthier, they should also last longer after they have been cut or harvested.  Attainability is vital because it will affect the price of your flowers and the likelihood of getting the exact flowers that you want – the last thing you want is a bouquet full of flowers you didn’t choose.  You can choose flowers that are out of season but it is likely that they will not look as healthy and vibrant than those that are in season.  So without further ado, here are some of our favorite in season Fall

Etiquette 101: Is it up to the bride and groom to provide a meal to the wedding vendors?

Q: Does the bride and groom have to feed the wedding vendors such as the wedding planner and their assistants, the wedding photographer and the videographer? A: This can be a tough one to answer.  Many vendors require meals provided in their contracts.

Discuss with your caterer some of your options. They
