Just Engaged? Late February Is the Perfect Time to Start Planning Your Summer Wedding Flowers
Valentine’s Day has come and gone, and for many couples in Biddeford, Saco, and throughout Southern Maine, it brought something extra special—a brand-new engagement. If you’re newly engaged (congrats!), late February is actually one of the best times to start planning your summer wedding flowers.
It might still feel like winter outside, but when it comes to weddings, summer will be here before you know it.
Why Planning Early Matters
Summer is peak wedding season in Maine. Venues book up quickly, and so do vendors—including florists. Starting your floral planning in late February gives you more options, more flexibility, and more time to refine your vision.
At Stem & Vine Floral, we often see couples who wait until spring and realize their date is closer than it feels. By reaching out now, you can secure your spot, explore seasonal flower options, and design something that truly fits your style and venue.
Summer Flowers in Southern Maine
One of the best parts about a summer wedding in the Biddeford and Saco area is the variety of beautiful flowers available. Summer offers brighter colors, fuller blooms, and lots of texture to work with. Think dahlias, garden roses, snapdragons, zinnias, and lush greenery that looks incredible in both indoor and outdoor settings.
Whether you’re planning a coastal wedding, a barn celebration, or a garden-style event, summer flowers can be styled to feel romantic, relaxed, modern, or classic—whatever fits your vibe.
Turning Inspiration Into a Plan
Late February is a great time to start gathering inspiration. Maybe you’ve been saving photos, thinking about color palettes, or picturing the overall mood of your day. A consultation with your florist helps turn those ideas into a real, workable plan.
We love helping couples figure out:
- What flowers are in season for their date
- What works best for their venue and budget
- How to tie bouquets, centerpieces, and ceremony flowers together into one cohesive look
Planning early also means fewer last-minute decisions and a smoother, more enjoyable experience overall.
