If you’re a bride planning a wedding on a budget, pick flowers that are in season in your area to help stay within your  budget limits. Just about any flower can be shipped to your area, but flowers that are grown locally will most likely be the best in quality and the lowest in price. If you are also flexible about flower colors, you may be able to save even more.

A local Rochester florist, Flowers by Jerry,  provided a list of popular wedding flowers that are in season for summer and fall in Minnesota:

Calla Lilies       Roses       Gladiolas       Gerbera Daisies    

Stephanotis       Dahlia       Alstroemeria
