Poppy Flowers: Ethically-Grown Wedding Flowers You'll Love (2024)

What wedding flowers are available at different points of the year?

Everyone has their favorite wedding flowers—from peonies to garden roses to dahlias to magnolias, we hear requests for all types of showy blooms. Of course, most flowers are only available for a few months of each year. Since all Poppy flowers are delivered to your wedding straight from one of our farms, we focus on sourcing and designing with a variety of stems that are fresh and most beautiful right at the time of your wedding. No matter the time of year, we guarantee beautiful, show-stopping stems for your big day. Here’s a snapshot of what’s typically in season in each month: Flowers available for winter weddings (December, January, February): Paperwhites, Poinsettias, Amaryllis, Hellebores. Flowers available for Spring weddings (March, April, May): Peonies, Poppies, Orchids, Tulips. Flowers available for Summer weddings (June, July, August): Hydrangeas, Sunflowers, Gardenias, Zinnias. Flowers available for Fall weddings (September, October, November): Dahlias, Cosmos, Sunflower, Aster. Some flowers are available year-round like Roses, Ranunculus, and Anemone.

How much do wedding flowers cost?

Most couples spend about 8-10% of their total wedding budget on flowers. If you work with a traditional florist, you’ll come up against high minimums (pricing usually starts around $4,000) and black out dates. The price of flowers for most Poppy weddings is between $1,500 and $5,000 all-in, including white glove delivery and installation, and we can work with any date. We recognize that, like everything for your big day, wedding florals are a big investment, and the details really matter. Poppy works with you to understand your highest priorities and always presents you with ideas and solutions at multiple price points, so you can choose the option that fits your budget without ever compromising on quality or style.

When should you order wedding flowers?

As soon as you’ve selected a venue and a date for your wedding, it’s time to start planning your wedding flowers. Poppy recommends designing and ordering florals with us between 5 and 7 months before your wedding date.

Can you give me a specific flower, item, style, color?

Flower availability varies by season, but we can cater to any color or style preference. Get on a call with your dedicated Floral Consultant to discuss your specific needs and we will make it happen!

Do you offer payment plans?
