Spring Wedding Flowers

Spring is a special time to tie the knot because of what the season symbolizes – life, rebirth, and hope. For couples who want to celebrate the most important event of their lives, practicality is key to having a grand wedding with a luscious medley of spring wedding flowers arranged for the ceremony and all throughout the reception.

Getting married when many different kinds of flowers are in bloom means inexpensive floral decorations (including bouquets for the bride and bridesmaids), an assortment of colors to choose from, and hundreds of dollars of savings that can be diverted to other expenses. Spring is probably the most liberating time to blend a myriad of colors – the predominant characteristics of spring.

The flowers for a spring wedding can be any combinations of flowers that suit your wedding theme and style, or find time to pick your favorite flowers and match them into your theme, whichever feels more important to you. Follow a monochromatic approach when mixing flowers into a floral arrangement or bouquet or choose flowers that complement each other in color (check a color wheel if you're a little confused with this).

Typical spring wedding flowers in bloom around this season in the hues of pink include lilies, apple or cherry blossoms, and dogwoods. Hyacinth pansies have baby blue hues. White flowers are roses, lilies, larkspur (though this has pale lavender towards the tip), peonies, sweet peas, narcissus, and lilacs. Yellow flowers that symbolize life and vibrance include daffodils, forsythia branches, and tulips. Waxflower has a pinky purple and white hues.

Moreover, anemones (that exist in blue, pink, red, and white) are available from January to May and August to December. Bells of Ireland (which is green) blooms from January through October; boronia (pink) is rather ephemeral and blooms only from April to May; Casa Blanka Lily (white) is available from January to October; Delphimium (white, blue) can be found starting in April to October, Ranunculus (white, pink, red, orange, yellow) blooms from February to May; Tulip (in many colors) grows from December to April.

Although these spring wedding flowers are made available throughout the year, picking flowers in season during your wedding makes them less expensive and readily available. In addition, while it is possible for some companies to deliver off-season flowers or those coming from the other side of the globe on your wedding day, prices would more likely be premium. It is so much practical to select wedding flowers in spring that are available in your locality and even at your backyard.

Blending Spring Wedding Flowers

Now that you know which flowers typically bloom in spring, the next formidable task is to blend these flowers into a beautiful ensemble to use for the bridal and bridesmaids bouquet, and in floral decorations and centerpiece around the wedding site and reception venue. Teaming nature's bounty creatively will radiate in freshness and charm.

White and pink roses go well with ranunculus, especially when you add maroon-colored amaranthus. This would look perfect as centerpiece or wedding bouquet. Tulips are typically in full bloom in spring so expect great bargains when ordering in bulk. The different colors of tulips such as white, mauve/purple, and red are astounding when bunched together.

Hyacinths may be thought of as a bit old-fashioned, but the elegant colors and delicate shape of this flower can be comparable in beauty to most modern flowers, when in the hands of a great florist. Peonies bunched up can become a simple bouquet, yet refreshing bridal bouquet. Make sure to specify to the florist whether you like them in buds or fully open as it can completely change the look of a bouquet.

Flowers can bloom abundantly in spring. Make the most of what nature has to offer by blending them perfectly.
