I’m often asked by hosts and brides what flowers are available in each month. Of course you can always order flowers out of season, but they will most likely be less than the best quality and will most definitely be expensive. My advice is always use in-season blooms. The varieties available are superb and even if your favourite isn’t available at the time of year you want it in, do try something different. I guarantee you will find something equally as beautiful that is currently in season.

Australia’s leading wedding florist, Susan Avery, has a very handy list of available flowers by season in Australia. Here are some of the leading flowers available by month:
