Any further advice for seasonal wedding flowers that you'd like to share? 

Couples should pick a season that speaks to them either for sentimental reasons, a favorite time of the year, or from a floral standpoint – the season that their favorite flower is in bloom. Spring is typically when the most luscious and romantic blooms are available, and flowers are generally larger during that time of year as well.

Any interesting wedding stories you have from working with engaged couples planning their big day?

We once had a bride that really loved lisianthus flowers. Each stem has a bloom, and some tendrils feature tight blooms at varying degrees. This particular bride liked the tendrils but only if the blossoms were no larger than the size of a pinky nail. To accommodate her, we spent hours measuring and removing blooms that did not fit the size standard!
