Wedding florists and flower companies in America talk about a shortage of flowers delivered to the US from abroad where the plants are grown. A number of reasons – from strikes to weather conditions to lack of shipping containers, etc – caused this shortage. So, if there’s no particular flower type that you have to have at your wedding, consider opting for less popular florals. You’ll have better chances to get them than those flowers everybody wants.
Besides, some flower varieties aren’t as trendy just because some expert said, hey, calla lilies are the vogue this season (or roses, or orchids, etc). And voila, every couple wants them. Not because they’re better or more durable, just more fashionable at the moment. So, it’s totally fine to opt for less popular flowers if they’ve captured your heart. And less popular flowers might be cheaper, which is good for your wedding budget.
