The flowers

What is a wedding without flowers? I dunno. There are no weddings without flowers! Well, to be fair, perhaps one of those weird weddings from the 90s where the bridesmaids carried sticks with beads on them and some feathers... We, however, will have flowers, even if some of them are made from paper! No feathers. No beaded sticks. No fiber optic led lights. And, no I am not kidding about that last one.

For the ceremony we will probably not buy any flowers. It is not a must, and being the week after Easter in the new church there is a good possibility that flowers will already be there, or at least some green plants or something.

It is cheaper and greener to go with seasonal flowers. Also, I cannot really see why you would want out of season flowers. I am getting married the weekend after Easter. Lets bring some Spring into it! Spring flowers include: Roses, tulips, peonies, anemones, calla lilies, hyacinths, irises, daffodils, hydrangea, lily of the valley, sweet pea, delphinium. Lucky me! Anemones and peonies are some of my favorites and I like all of these flowers. Well, I like all flowers. Here are some pictures I found of pretty bouquets and decorations that include these springy blooms (and others like wildflowers and all-season stuff).
