Plan seasonal wedding flowers around your wedding date and a colour palette that leaves room for different stems. At Bloom in Emyvale, the field changes from early-summer flowers and foliage to midsummer annuals, followed by dahlias and autumn textures. Weather can shift the timing. Confirm the available stems for your date before settling on one variety.
What flowers are in Bloom's seasonal growing guide?
Bloom's broad calendar lists yarrow and early perennials from late June to mid July, with fresh foliage and fillers. From mid July through late August, the guide includes zinnias, cosmos and snapdragons, along with echinacea, rudbeckia and the first sunflowers.
September through the first frost brings dahlias and sunflowers, with strawflower, statice and autumn textures in the guide. These are growing windows rather than guaranteed harvest dates. Check the year's availability before making one variety essential to the wedding design.
How specific should my colour request be?
A request such as white and green with soft pink accents gives the farm a colour direction while leaving room for different flowers. Requiring the exact varieties in an inspiration photograph is a narrower request, which needs a separate availability check.
Decide which colours are essential and where you can allow variation before you enquire. For example, you might want the table flowers to stay within a soft palette while accepting several shades of pink. Describe that preference in words as well as sending a photo.
Does Bloom offer a colour-selected bucket?
Bloom's Preferred Palette bucket costs $135 CAD and allows a requested colour palette, subject to availability. Grower's Choice contains 50 seasonal stems for $115 CAD. A foliage and texture half bucket costs $50 CAD for 25 to 30 stems.
Preferred Palette is worth discussing when the colours matter to your design. Confirm what can be supplied before treating a colour request as an accepted order.
What if the wedding falls outside the growing season?
Ask the farm about the date before planning around locally grown fresh flowers outside the summer-to-fall season. The summer growing guide cannot tell you what the farm can supply in winter. Monique can confirm availability for your celebration.
What should I include in a wedding enquiry?
Send the wedding date and your colour preferences, then describe the arrangements you plan to make with the loose stems. Include any essential variety and the number of vases if you know it. Bloom supplies DIY flower buckets for PEI celebrations, with the seasonal mix and pickup details confirmed directly with the farm.
