Recently, a bride asked me if I could list what flowers are available each month. That's an awfully daunting task, and to be honest, I don't think I'm the best person to answer that. There are countless lists of different flowers, foliage and organic materials available online.

Instead, I'm going to start yet another series, and list the more seasonal flowers and foliage that I'm finding in the flower market. I'll attempt to list some other interesting facts about the flower/foliage below each name. I hope this will help you brides!
