Unfortunately when organising your wedding flowers you need to remember that you are dealing with nature and sometimes your favourite flower may not be in season when you have organised your wedding day. If the type of flower that you want is a must, you may want to find out when it is in season before booking your wedding to avoid disappointment.
Very rarely, the requested blooms may still be hard to get even though they SHOULD be in season! Other alternatives are imports of course but they tend to be more expensive. The good news is that there are so many different and gorgeous flower types available now that there is always a suitable replacement. Here is a rough LOCAL Perth guide of which flowers should be around in each season.

Enchanting Petals
Brides ask me "is having a large bouquet and a flower crwon to match too much?"
my answer is "no way!" Personally I prefer to have a bit of both especially if you have a veil as sometimes it can look a bit bland having the bare comb and veil strip in the back of the hair. Most clients will either go for a bit of bling, flowers or BOTH! or if they are after a more simple look they may just keep it sleek and simple which is absolutely fine, everyone has a different look they go for and it depends what style bride you are but at the end of the day, it's your special day so why not look like a queen and go all out.
Be true, be YOU!
