Wedding Bouquets for Spring

When it comes to choosing a bridal bouquet for your spring wedding, your only real problem will be choosing from the vast array of flower blooms that are available at that time of the year. 

You also need to consider that spring time is also the season when two of the biggest flower events of the year take place... Valentine's Day, and Mother's Day. So flower prices and availability may fluctuate accordingly.

This means that while you might be spoilt for choice in terms of the variety of spring wedding flowers, you do want to make sure that you book your florist early. Make sure you both agree on a fixed price for your wedding flowers and bouquets early on, as the demand does tend to drive the cost up... even when there are lots of flower varieties naturally in bloom.

Spring Wedding Bouquet Basics

Springtime is possibly the best time of year to plan fun, fresh, exuberant wedding flowers. There are multitudes of options in terms of colors, flowers and more, and its one time of year when there is just a feeling of happiness in the air.

So if you are having a spring wedding, make sure that you make the most of that feeling in your flowers. Have fun with them, find out what all the options are, and make your flowers a big part of the theme!

Choosing Your Spring Blooms

Once you have sorted out the details with your florist, it is a good idea to start figuring out which blooms are your favorite for the wedding.

Some of springs most beautiful flowers include ranunculus and roses, both of which are available in an amazing variety of colors, to suit just about any color scheme. It is also one of the best times to choose tulips as a part of your bouquet and wedding flowers, and with hundreds of colors, in every shade from the deepest red to pure white, they are an amazing choice.

Peonies are a less common choice, but since they work well whether still in bud, partially opened, or in full bloom, and since they are a fresh and different choice, they do make a great addition to a springtime bouquet! Likewise, the less commonly used option of the hyacinth is a nice addition, particularly when used with a variety of other blooms.

Another great choice is lily of the valley, whether mixed with other blooms in table decorations, as a part of a cascading bouquet or in men's button holes. These small sprays of white flowers make a great addition to spring wedding arrangements. They have a great scent too, unlike some farmed cut flowers.

Interesting Additions and Associations

Spring is a season that is associated with bright color, blue skies, sunshine and happiness, and your spring wedding flowers should be designed to achieve just that feeling.

Adding elements to your wedding flowers that echo the springtime mood is one way to achieve that. Daisies, and in particular gerbera daisies, with their bright yellows, oranges and reds, are perfect for spring wedding flowers, although even the ordinary white and yellow daisies can add a freshness and spring time feeling to your bouquet and floral decorations.

Then again, other additions, like ribbons in a co-coordinating or contrasting color, or even faux butterflies, can add a sense of fun and color to your wedding flowers, perfect for the season.

Speak to your florist, or look out for interesting design elements that you can add to your spring wedding flowers on your own, and then ask them to include them for you.

Colors of Your Spring Wedding Bouquets

When it comes to colors, springtime wedding flowers offer more wedding bouquet options than just about any other season. You can choose to have white blooms in your spring wedding bouquet, with one color as an accent. Alternatively, you can select a variety of shades from the same color family, or even a few complimentary shades. Springtime is certainly the best time to pick and choose the colors you like best for your bouquet wedding flowers.
