Florals can be a big part of any event.  This blog is all about some fun, floral facts for selecting flowers for your Wedding Day!  A great way to save on costs for your Wedding Day florals is to do some research, or speak to your florist, about what florals are in season for your Wedding Date.  Ordering out of season florals can increase the costs significantly.
