Yay! 

In this feature, we share inspiration for the perfect flowers for a Spring bouquet and how to choose your wedding florals by colour. Take a look and be inspired!

Flowers Perfect for a Spring Wedding

Choosing the right type of spring wedding flower means selecting flowers that will work not just as part of the bride’s bouquet, but that can be incorporated throughout the wedding. You’ll be able to use them as part of the the bridesmaid’s flowers, on your table centrepieces, and also in the groom’s and groomsmen’s buttonholes. Here are some fun options:

RANUNCULI WEDDING FLOWERS

This flower resembles a miniature Peony flower, and they are very delicate and small and work well as bouquet fillers. Ranunculus come in a variety of different colours, each very bright and striking, yet each colour looks great mixed with other spring flowers, such as Hyacinth, Anemone, Fountain grass, Narcissi, and Scabious Seed heads.

HELLEBORE WEDDING FLOWERS

Hellebore is a delicate flower that ranges in colour, from white, pale green and orange, and different shades of light pinks and purples. This is an excellent flower to use and slightly varying the colour of the flower makes for a stunning masterpiece of a bouquet. A single Hellebore flower also looks classy on a buttonhole.

TULIP WEDDING FLOWERS

Tulips are a popular choice for a springtime wedding bouquet as they are a very seasonal flower. They come in a variety of colours, which means they can be arranged in with different themed bouquets, or they can be bunched together creating an effect bouquet on their own.

LAVENDER WEDDING FLOWERS

Adding Lavender to your bouquet not only offers a burst of colour, but a subtle and delicate scent that will forever remind you of your perfect day.

VIBURNUM OPULUS

Otherwise known as a Guelder Rose, these cute little flowers come in a vivid green colour, and tend to fade to a more dusty green with age. They work perfectly in large bouquets as filler flowers as they go with practically every colour of spring.

NARCISSI WEDDING FLOWERS

Narcissi flowers signify the beginning of spring, so adding a few of these to your bridal bouquet will really give a sense of a springtime wedding. They are white Daffodils that will give a frilly effect to your flowers and also make for a pretty centrepiece.

For even more gorgeous Spring flower wedding inspiration, you can mix and match a range of pretty and fresh coloured florals and display them in pastel containers for an eye-popping effect!

Take Your Pretty Pick!

If you are feeling adventurous, you can choose to mix and match a selection of spring flowers and create your bouquet yourself if you know a little about flower arrangement. However, lots of brides like to have their flowers arranged by the professionals (or even a talented loved one), so that they are guaranteed a perfect bouquet on their wedding day and they don’t spend the morning of their wedding flower arranging! Yikes! It’s a great idea to chat to your wedding planner or other recently married brides referrals as they will be able to put you in touch with someone that you can trust to do the job well.
