Spring Wedding Flowers

In Australia: September, October November

Every bride dreams of a spring wedding and being surrounded by branches of blossoms that fall to the ground and form a carpet…don’t they?, in early spring the blossoms from Peach , cherry, apple and pear trees are all bundled off to the market just waiting to show off!

Even the branches have character!

Sweet Peas available from late winter to mid spring are an all time favourite, with their delicate petals and softness. Colours are white, cream, soft to rosy pink, mauve, purple and a new tangerine colour!

Peonies, sometimes called Peony roses are available mid to late spring if we are very fortunate, also chosen by Mary our very own princess bride, these full, many petalled blooms are unrivalled in their abundance. Sometimes also imported out of season from the northern hemisphere and available in our autumn, colours are white with a delicate pink centre, pale, rosy and red pink.

Lily of the valley, only available for a very short season these delicate tiny white or palest pink flowers are spoken of in almost reverent terms, from Victorian growers in late September and from cold parts of NSW up until mid October.

Freesias, Hyacinths, tulips continue to delight until around mid October.

Roses though they have been available, start to flush in large quantity mid October so this is the time of best choice of varieties and colours.

Delphinium is available for large church and reception bowls, blue is always popular and is often in short supply, with Delphiniums there is abundant blue!, pale, mid to very dark blue! Through spring and summer.

Daisies are synonymous with spring, white pink yellow in fact every colour but blue, the best long lasting daisies are the chrysanthemum daisy, glasshouse grown all year round the only truly reliable daisy for bouquets.

Heather for those with a hankering for the ‘old country’ there are numerous types of heather to use as sprigs or bunches.
