Think again.
My hydrangea-set heart withered in disappointment to learn it's actually a summer flower.
And while I know I could have hydrangeas if I really wanted them, I'd like to stick with in-season flowers as my eco choice.
Here's why:
- It upholds the "shop local" philosophy.
- You know exactly where they came from and can ensure they are pesticide-free.
- It minimizes carbon emissions from shipping.
- It's less expensive.
A website I stumbled upon to aid with my in-season flower quest is The Flower Dictionary. It's a terrific resource for discovering lesser known flowers that will adorn your day nicely.
Also, a potential wedding project that's equally eco and far more economical:
Start a flower garden of your own that will sprout your bouquet and remain a keepsake long after the wedding bells have chimed...
And although it may cost you a manicure or two, the end result would most certainly earn you a green thumbs up!
