What flowers would be in season for an April 2 wedding?  I really want Star of Bethlehem, Lily of the Valley, and dendrobium orchids but I have no idea when they are in bloom or if I could get them anyway and just pay more.  Any ideas?

    Seasonality of some flowers depends on your location.  A local florist will know.  Also, there are resources on the web that may help.

    Star of bethlemen and dendrobiums no problem... they are always in season... Lily of the valley is massively expensive unless it is growing in your area at that time... ( which it probably is not. 

    The bargain flower in april is the tulip....

    Dendrobium orchids should be no problem year round. Star of Bethleham blooms in late spring, so that shouldn't be a problem either. The liliy of the valley may be an issue. It blooms in spring, but is very delicate and doesn't like to be out of water for very long. You should be able to get it, but many florists don't like using it because it is so delicate.

    I would check with your local florist.  They know what is available what time of year, plus they can give you suggestions to mix/match flowers if you want for your bouquets.

    Another thought for down south... MAYBE local lilac?  How great would that be?  Ask a gardener or farmers market type... or a well connected floral designer... 

    in the northeast we get them in mid may so might happen?

    go to blissweddings.com and they have a feature that tells you what is in season when in your area.  Can be really helpful.
