Spring flowers might just be my favourites. Not just for their standalone beauty, but because of the new beginnings that they represent – the first flushes of the British flower season, after what often feels like a long slog through winter. January and February tend to be my downtime months, used for planning and admin, and so it’s such a joy to have flowers in my hands again. If you’re planning a spring wedding then you will be spoilt for choice when it comes to your flowers, keep scrolling right to the bottom to see some finished arrangements.
Choosing to use seasonal flowers for your wedding is a more sustainable choice, and helps to ensure that flowers will be in their absolute peak condition for your big day. Whilst many flowers are now available all year round, there is something magical about working with nature and the seasons.
So, what flowers are in season for a spring wedding?
These are a few of my favourites –
Available in pastels and brights, their multi-layered petals are like delicate tissue paper, and yet they are surprisingly long-lasting. Also look out for the butterfly variety as these dance around beautifully to add movement to bouquets. I had ranunculus in my own bridal bouquet so they will always hold a special place in my heart.
Did you know that tulips continue to grow after they’ve been cut? They are heliotropic, which means that they will turn towards the light and so they keep growing and moving every day. As a florist I have consider this when positioning them in my arrangements. Tulips are available in a wide range of colours, ruffly double tulips are my favourites.
Highly scented hyacinths are available in a wide range of colours including apricot, wine red, deep purple and cobalt blue. They are guaranteed to make your arrangements smell incredible.
Also known as grape hyacinths these come in blue and white. They have frustratingly short stems, but look lovely in table arrangements and bud vases, and add a gorgeous pop of blue to buttonholes.
Striking and elegant, these daisy-like flowers are available in pastels and brights. The varieties with a striking black or navy centre are my favourites.
I hope this has given you some ideas of the types of flowers that could be used for a spring wedding, and there are many other beautiful options. If you are planning your own spring wedding and would like to find out more then please get in touch to book a free consultation with me.
