3. Uses Local Montana Resources

When purchasing fresh flowers for a Montana winter wedding, those flowers are imported from other places, but this increases the cost of your wedding flowers! Alternatively, you can use in-season choices. By focusing locally, your wedding will be able to support the wonderful Montana community. Also, dried flowers can let the natural beauty of Montana winters be part of your desired wedding aesthetic.
