As I sit here typing, I keep glancing out my window at the gray gloom that is hovering over the Quad Cities. The word "bleh" comes to mind. I have decided to rip my mind out of this mid-winter coma by looking ahead at what is to come after the snow melts away in Marchish...
Let's look at some flowers today that will be in season in our area for Spring weddings! My hope is that not only will a little color do our eyes some good, but it will also help you Spring brides and grooms to have a bit of a guide on what to select for your bouquets, centerpieces, etc. Remember that picking flowers that are blooming in season is key to saving big bucks on your floral budget! Talk to your florist or wedding planner about options that are available in your wedding season!
