Dear Reader,
Congratulations on your up coming event, wedding or just wanting to learn more about flower pricing.
Deciding on flowers can be an overwhelming decision when it's not your specialty and since it's a major topic of conversation with my brides I thought you might be interested to know some best bets for flowers when it comes to saving money.
Since I live in the Phoenix Valley where it can be a 110 degrees in June our flower growing season is February through April as a rule and as early as November needless to say choosing flowers is very important because they must last, be the right color and the right price.
And the winner is...
For variety, durability, longevity and of course price is... the Chrysanthemum. It comes in many colors from white to pink, purple all the way to brown and about every color in between. There are also numerous kinds of varieties and blooms. Some come in singular stems and sold in numbered bunches while others have multiple blooms per stem and are sold by weight.
Next is the Carnation which I love because it comes in so many different colors and sizes although there are some that think it is an old fashion flower. I disagree I think it is wonderful, durable and timeless.
The next group of flowers is the regular rose category and pricing is not bad but not quite as good as the mum category.
After that there are specialty flowers like Tulips,then finally the Garden Rose, Peony, Lily and Orchid category which tends to be the most expensive.
So if you are looking for the best value start with the Mums. They look great and are priced right!
Best Wishes on your big day or event!
