4 Tricks to Have Your Favorite Wedding Flowers Out of Season

I recently received an inquiry for my Lavender Wedding Invitations, but the bride had said "I am contacting florists now about flowers for the wedding. It is going to be harder than I thought to get fresh lavender for the wedding. I just need to make sure I will be having lavender elsewhere in the wedding." This made me realize that other brides might be running into this same problem when the flowers they choose for their wedding are out of season. So, today, I'm sharing with you a lavender wedding inspiration board that shows how you can incorporate your favorite flowers into your wedding if they are out of season with 4 tricks {shown below}.

4 Ways to Incorporate Your {Out of Season} Favorite Wedding Flower

1. Use the dried version in bouquets {already preserved for keepsakes} or in sachet favors

2. Incorporate the floral in your designs {invitations, menus, favor tags, even the clutch}

3. Bring the flower color into other elements of the wedding {dress, shoes, candle holders, etc}

4. Have your baker bring the flower into the design of the cake {either on the top or cascading down the tiers}

Whimsical Lavender and Lace Styled Wedding Shoot with Naked Bundt Cakes
I'm loving today's featured whimsical styled shoot from Ashley Cook Photography. It's the perfect blend of lavender and lace and there's even succulents and cabbage incorporated into the floral arrangements. It's a shoot in a lavender field where naked cakes {bundt ones too} and stunning flowers are all drenched in the sun. This shoot will have you dreaming of a wedding with a lavender field as the backdrop. {I can't say to have your wedding directly in the field of lavender as there's usually quite a few bees on the flowers}. This shoot reminds me of the lavender wedding invitation I've designed which is still one of my best sellers, especially for bridal showers. I think it's because something classic like lavender will never go out of style.
