Seasonal Wedding Flowers in the Bay Area: What’s Blooming When?

Planning a wedding in the Bay Area offers so many beautiful choices—venues, weather, and of course, flowers. One of the best ways to make your floral design feel intentional and sustainable is by choosing blooms that are in season. At Linden and Rose, we specialize in creating floral arrangements using locally grown, seasonal flowers that are better for the planet and more beautiful for your big day.

Here’s a guide to what’s blooming when, and how each season brings its own floral magic.

Spring (March – May)

What’s Blooming:

Ranunculus, sweet peas, tulips, anemones, lilac, narcissus, poppies, clarkia

Design Notes:

Spring florals are all about softness and romance. Think delicate petals, dreamy pastel tones, and intoxicating fragrance. This season is ideal for couples who want a garden-inspired or whimsical look.

Why We Love It:

Spring gives us access to some of the most sought-after flowers in the design world—many of which are grown right here in California. The textures and color variety make it perfect for a fresh, ethereal aesthetic.

Summer (June – August)

What’s Blooming:

Dahlias, sunflowers, zinnias, cosmos, strawflower, lisianthus, celosia

Design Notes:

Summer flowers bring bold color, dramatic scale, and tons of personality. These blooms are hardy enough to stand up to the heat and can be styled in everything from boho to modern arrangements.

Why We Love It:

This is dahlia season, and in the Bay Area, we have access to some of the most stunning local varieties. Summer florals are a celebration of abundance—perfect for a lively, joyful celebration.

Fall (September – November)

What’s Blooming:

Chrysanthemums, heirloom roses, amaranth, celosia, scabiosa, marigolds

Design Notes:

Rich jewel tones, earthy textures, and moody accents take center stage in fall. We love designing with trailing amaranth, lush garden roses, and golden foliage to create floral installations that feel both romantic and grounded.

Why We Love It:

Fall is a favorite for couples who want something a little unexpected. The color palettes and textures are dramatic and elegant—ideal for rustic venues, vineyard weddings, or modern city affairs.

Winter (December – February)

What’s Blooming:

Hellebores, camellias, evergreens, early narcissus, jasmine vine, winter berries

Design Notes:

Winter weddings offer a chance to lean into minimalism or embrace deep, moody tones. With a mix of foraged greenery, textured branches, and delicate winter blooms, winter florals feel clean, intentional, and artful.

Why We Love It:

Winter might be the most underrated season for florals. With the right palette and thoughtful design, it’s possible to create arrangements that feel like modern poetry—quiet, stunning, and full of feeling.

Why Seasonal Flowers Matter

Choosing seasonal flowers isn’t just a design choice—it’s a sustainability decision. Locally grown flowers have a lower carbon footprint, support nearby farms, and are often fresher and longer-lasting. At Linden and Rose, we’re committed to floral design that celebrates nature, supports community agriculture, and aligns with your values.
