24 Colors of the Rainbow
Complementary colors are especially pleasing to the eye. Consider this when purchasing flowers, and tie your wedding party, ceremony, and reception to these colorful pairings.

25 Autumn Color

26 Think Seasonal
Flowers can be expensive. To stretch your floral budget, choose blooms that are in season during your big day. This option allows for lower costs and a fresher look and feel to your floral arrangements. A wedding in Minnesota’s warm months might best be paired with locally grown blossoms for bouquets, boutonnieres, ceremony and reception adornments, and hairpieces. Florists know best when it comes to winter weddings. Share your ideas, but listen for their suggestions.
