1. It does not rain for at least 350 days of the year, so weather is not really an issue. Unless you’re stuck in a heat wave, the weather usually cooperates.

2. The Flower District is in downtown. Instead of getting a bouquet for $100, you can make your own for $15.

3. The Fashion district is also downtown, and the best part is that you can bargain! You can easily get bridesmaids dresses for under $50 each. This is also a great place to find flower girl baskets (~$10), ring pillows (~$10), and all the silly stuff that’s usually overpriced.

The two districts are right next to each other, so you can check them out at the same time. www.fashiondistric.org
