A Guide to Spring Wedding Flowers
Spring is a season of new beginnings, soft light, and vibrant life bursting forth. It’s no wonder so many couples choose this magical time of year to say "I do." The air is filled with promise, and nature provides the most beautiful backdrop imaginable. When it comes to wedding florals, spring offers an abundance of fresh, fragrant blooms that can transform your celebration into an unforgettable event. Let us guide you through the most exquisite flowers of the season and inspire you to create something truly extraordinary.
Must-Have Flowers for a Spring Wedding
Choosing seasonal flowers is one of the best decisions you can make. Not only are they at their most beautiful and fresh, but they are also more readily available and often more budget-friendly. These are some of our favorite spring blooms that consistently leave guests speechless.
Japanese Sweet Peas
One of our personal favorites for early spring, the Japanese sweet pea is simply stunning. These hardy blooms are not only gorgeous but also bring all the frilly, delicate texture you could want in a floral design. Their ruffly petals and sweet scent add a layer of romance and intricate detail to bouquets and centerpieces alike.
Bigleaf Hydrangeas
Known for their large, cloud-like clusters of blooms, hydrangeas are a classic choice for creating lush, full arrangements. They are incredibly versatile, capable of creating both grand, sweeping gestures and moments of quiet beauty.
For a timeless and elegant aesthetic, we love designing with blue and white hydrangeas. Paired with soft greenery, they create a crisp, romantic look that feels both classic and fresh.
Roses
The quintessential symbol of love, roses are a wedding staple for a reason. In spring, they are available in a stunning array of soft and vibrant hues. We often use pink and peach garden roses to craft dreamy, fairytale-worthy ceremony backdrops.
Exchanging vows under an arch decorated with its delicate blooms—it’s a moment that feels truly magical and makes for breathtaking photos.
Blooming Branches
If there’s one design element we absolutely adore for spring weddings, it’s the use of blooming branches. Cherry, dogwood, and quince all bring this whimsical, just-picked-from-the-garden feel that’s impossible to fake. They’re sculptural, unexpected, and instantly make any space feel alive.
But trees never bloom on the same schedule, so there’s always a bit of hoping (and a lot of expertise) required to get them at just the right moment. The challenge is part of the art, and when it works, the effect is unforgettable.
Peonies
If there’s one flower that screams "spring," it’s the peony. With their lush, ruffled petals and incredible fragrance, peonies add a touch of romance and luxury to any arrangement. They are a statement flower, perfect for a show-stopping bridal bouquet or as the focal point in your table centerpieces. Their soft, full appearance embodies the hopeful spirit of the season.
Tulips
Elegant, simple, and available in nearly every color imaginable, tulips are another springtime favorite. Their clean lines make them ideal for modern or minimalist weddings, but they can also be incorporated into more traditional, garden-style arrangements. Whether in a monochromatic bunch or a mixed bouquet, tulips bring a cheerful and sophisticated touch.
Ranunculus
For designs that require intricate detail and delicate texture, the ranunculus is unparalleled. Each bloom features layers upon layers of paper-thin petals, creating a mesmerizing effect. They are perfect for boutonnieres, bouquets, and detailed floral arrangements. We love weaving them into our designs to add depth and a touch of whimsy.
Palettes Inspired by the Season
Spring arrives not with a shout, but with a whisper—a soft unfurling of green, a gentle warmth in the air, the hopeful promise of new beginnings. That natural beauty provides endless inspiration for your wedding color palette. Whether you prefer soft pastels or brighter pops of color, there’s a combination that will perfectly capture your style.
Classic Pastels and Neutrals
Soft and romantic, pastel color schemes are a hallmark of spring weddings. The gentle blush of a sunrise, the softest hint of lavender, and the dreamy quality of dusty blue. These colors create a light and airy atmosphere that feels timelessly elegant.
A neutral palette of whites, creams, and lush greens is another timeless option. The muted color palette creates a sophisticated foundation that allows the natural beauty of your setting, and the glow of your love, take center stage.
Romantic Pinks and Peaches
For a warm and inviting celebration, a palette of pinks and peaches is perfect. These colors evoke a sense of romance and joy.
Bold and Vibrant Accents
While pastels are popular, don't be afraid to incorporate bold accents into your spring wedding. A pop of coral, sunny yellow, or bright fuchsia can add energy and personality to your decor. These vibrant colors can be folded into bouquets, centerpieces, or even your wedding party's attire for a cohesive and dynamic look. The key is balance—using bold colors thoughtfully to highlight key elements of your design.
Designing Your Day with Intention
The journey from a dream to a beautifully realized celebration is a creative partnership. It’s about blending your vision with artistry and expertise to craft a day that feels like a true reflection of you.
Harmonize with Your Setting
Your chosen venue is a part of your love story, and your florals should feel like a natural extension of the space. An outdoor garden setting might inspire organic, flowing arrangements that seem to have grown in place. A historic ballroom might call for more structured and dramatic designs. The goal is to create a seamless experience where every element is in perfect harmony.
Focus on High-Impact Artistry
To create a truly memorable experience, consider focusing your floral budget on high-impact moments. This could be the breathtaking ceremony backdrop where you say your vows, the lavish arrangements on the head table, or a spectacular hanging installation at the cocktail hour These artful statements become the emotional centerpieces of your celebration, creating lasting impressions for you and your guests.
The Power of Collaboration
Bringing a vision to life is a deeply personal and collaborative process. A passionate floral designer does more than arrange flowers; they listen to your story, understand your style, and translate your dreams into a tangible, beautiful reality. Whether you come to us with a fully formed vision or a single spark of inspiration, we believe in creating with heart and delivering designs that leave you speechless.
Let's Dream Together
Your wedding is a reflection of everything that matters most to you. It is a collection of meaningful moments, a celebration of your unique story. For us, it is the greatest joy to bring that story to life in ways you never imagined. Every bloom tells a story, and we are here to help you tell yours.
If you are dreaming of a celebration that is as unforgettable as it is beautiful, we would be honored to create something extraordinary with you.
