As the leaves begin to fall, the popularity of fall weddings continue to rise. The beauty of this wonderful season (especially on the lake) is a leading reason for the increase in demand. In a 2011 study of 18,000 couples, conducted by theknot.com and weddingwire.com it was found that the most popular wedding month has moved to September with a total of 15% of all weddings, changing from June the previous year.
This brisk season brings with it a few concerns from brides who are trying to keep their costs down. Would a switch to the start of the "off-season" bring about higher prices for things like flowers? The answer depends on what you are looking for, but here is some information to help!
Year-Round Flowers:
- Gerbera Daisies - come in almost any color and add a "fun" element to your wedding day
- Orchids - Come in green, orange, pink, purple, red white and yellow. They last for a long time, but are on the pricey side.
- Roses - A classic, comes in red, white orange, pink, yellow and purple
- Stephanotis - this small star shaped flower comes in white and is a great addition to any bouquet
Fall Flowers:
- Dahlias - These flowers bloom in the summer and fall and come in orange, pink, purple, red, white and yellow. These full blooms are at their peak in early fall or late summer (perfect for a September wedding)
- Sunflowers - Perfect for a rustic themed or outdoor wedding
- Hydrangeas - these full blooms are colored in blue, green, pink, purple and white. The best part? They dry well for a great wedding keepsake.
- Mums - These hardy flowers can be the perfect addition to a centerpiece or a pop of color for your ceremony
