Seasonal Wedding Flower Availability in Northern Michigan: What Blooms When

Choosing seasonal blooms is about more than what’s beautiful: it’s about working in harmony with nature.

Flowers grown in their natural season are fresher, longer-lasting, and full of character, having had the time and conditions to thrive exactly as intended.

From an environmental standpoint, seasonal flowers reduce the need for long-distance shipping, energy-intensive greenhouses, and forced growing practices.
