It's exciting to know that all of the flowers I will be using (with the exception of some bells of ireland that I won't have ready yet) are ones that I have grown myself!
This is also the perfect opportunity for me to tell you that using locally grown flowers for your wedding takes a special kind of bride... It takes a person who wants a unique, beautiful product that just cannot be as easily achieved with your cookie-cutter type flowers. It takes a person who is somewhat easy-going, confident and flexible.
I say this because locally grown flowers are {for the most part} controlled by Mother Nature. One year, lilacs may be blooming on Mother's Day. The next year, they may be blooming in April. Mother Nature isn't always predictable...but from April through September, she can guarantee that there will always be beautiful things blooming & available!...just maybe not those lilacs on the exact date that you want them. As long as you trust that everything will be beautiful and aren't too set on specifics, you make a great candidate for locally-grown wedding flowers!

Lovely to have discovered your blog via Floret. I grow and sell flowers in England, on a tiny, acre garden plot. So fun seeing others in the same game, gettting all excited about the same kind of flowers! Belinda
