Budget-Friendly May Wedding Flowers: Beautiful Blooms That Won't Break the Bank

@daniellelozeau

Choosing wedding flowers that are both beautiful and budget-friendly is crucial for couples planning their special day. Flowers play a significant role in enhancing the ambiance and aesthetic appeal of the wedding venue, but they can also be a significant expense. 

Opting for in-season spring wedding flowers, such as peonies, tulips, garden roses, and sweet peas, is a smart strategy, particularly for May weddings. In-season flowers are more readily available and often less expensive than out-of-season blooms. Additionally, in-season flowers tend to be fresher, ensuring better quality and longevity for floral arrangements.
