How to Choose Seasonal Flowers for Your Wedding in Alberta

How to Choose Seasonal Flowers for Your Wedding in Alberta

(Because peonies don’t magically bloom in October.)

Planning wedding florals in Alberta? Here’s the reality: the growing season is short, Mother Nature is in charge, and Pinterest doesn’t always play fair.

Know your season:

  • Spring (May–June): tulips, anemones, ranunculus

  • Summer (July–August): zinnias, cosmos, dahlias, sunflowers

  • Fall (Sept): dahlias, rudbeckia, amaranthus, grasses

Focus on colours, not names. Want blush, white, and sage? Your florist can create it with whatever’s thriving — even if your dream flower isn’t in season.

Trust your florist. Seasonal flowers look fresher, last longer, and cost less than shipping blooms from halfway around the world.

Embrace the Alberta wild side. Wild-inspired textures, grasses, and local blooms make bouquets feel authentic and fit perfectly with farm or outdoor weddings.

Not in season? Don’t panic — we can find beautiful alternatives that look soooo good and still wow your guests.

Bottom line: Choosing seasonal flowers in Alberta keeps your wedding beautiful, practical, and completely you. And if peonies aren’t blooming? Mother Nature wins — but your bouquet will still be gorgeous.
