Weddings by Season

In mid-Michigan, the season sets the tone before you choose a single bloom. Most cut flowers are available year-round through suppliers, but designing with what is at its natural peak means better beauty, better value, and a look that feels rooted in the month. This gallery moves through the year so you can picture your date at its most seasonal best.

Planning tips

1.Ask your florist what is at its Michigan peak for your month before you fall in love with a specific flower — peak blooms cost less and last longer.
2.Spring dates open the door to tulips, daffodils, and peony season as it begins in May.
3.Summer is the garden at its fullest: dahlias, garden roses, and locally grown stems are widely available.
4.Fall brings warm richness — dahlias, mums, and textured foliage in russet, amber, and plum.
5.Winter leans into evergreens, amaryllis, and white blooms with candlelight to warm the room.
6.Out-of-season favorites can still be sourced, but budget more and stay open to a substitution that reads the same.
