{Floral Tips: May Flowers}

Recently, a bride asked me if I could list what flowers are available each month. That's an awfully daunting task and to be honest, I don't even know if I'm a true expert at that. There's a countless list of different flowers, foliages, and organic materials available. I'm going to start doing yet another series but instead of listing everything that's available, I'll list the more seasonal flowers, foliages that I'm finding in the market. Below each, I'll attempt to list some other interesting facts

Hope this well help you brides!
