The photos you receive when having an outdoor wedding are unforgettable! Here are 10 great flower choices to consider when thinking of your Spring wedding flowers!
1- Tulip
Tulips are synonymous with spring, and their cup-shaped blossom are lovely in any arrangement. The petals can be smooth, fringed or ruffled. Blossoms may be single or double.
Tulips also come in a rainbow of colors. White, cream, yellow, peach, orange, pink, red, lavender, and purple. Some tulip blossoms are single-colored, while others are striped, swirled, flamed from the bottom or edged with a contrasting color on the petals.
While they have a naturally short-but-sweet vase life compared to other flowers, but you can keep them fresh for 5 days if you keep them away from direct sunlight and give them a trim and fresh water daily.
2- ranunculus
Ranunculus, also known as buttercups, are are popular choice in floral arrangements for its delicate rose-like features that fill any bridal bouquet or centerpiece with lovely texture and elegance. They are brightly colored, layers dainty, paper-thin petals, ample blooms and symbolism rooted in love.
The Ranunculus beauty is hard to resist, and why many adore them. The voluminous blooms are long-lasting and can be of different types. Ranunculus come in many varieties. The largest variety is the Ranunculus Clooney Hanoi, with a lovely soft pink and white blooms. Each flower is long-lasting and as beautiful as garden roses and peonies. It opens fully, revealing a green eye at the center.
Overall, Ranunculus comes in a wide variety of colors of white, cream, yellow, orange, red, pink, purple, bicolors. They make great boutonnieres, and is perfect for the Spring bouquet!
3- anemone
Anemone flowers are sometimes called the windflower. They have medium-long stems and petals that flower in a variety of colors. The petals are small and round and most flower heads have about five or six petals. They keep growing even after they’re cut, but have no scent. Even though, Anemone flowers have a bold and distinctive look, they are actually quite delicate. But the flower is a bit temperamental, and prone to wilting. They need fresh water regularly and will help them last a bit longer.
They are available year round, and spectacular in wedding flower Spring arrangements.
Change water regularly. Anemones are thirsty flowers and so you will have to top up water or better still change it regularly. A change of water will prevent bacterial build up and so will make flowers last longer.
They come in a variety of colors, white, white with black centers, fuchsia, red, wine and purple.
4- Garden rose
Garden roses are known throughout the world as a symbol of love and romance. English garden roses, bloom with masses of pastel roses. If you aren’t fond of the standard rose variety, the Garden Roses are larger and have more petals than standard roses. This gives them a lush, fluffy, similar to that of a Peony. Peonies are often popular wedding flowers, but are generally not available during the summer months, which is prime wedding season.
Garden roses are exquisite, and generally have an abundant amount of petals and open up in a variety of ways. They come in a variety of colors. White, cream, beige, yellow, peach, pink, red, and purple.
Garden roses have a glorious fragrance and the scent is as unmatched. These are our go-to blooms when we are designing for weddings and they take your winter wedding bouquet to the next level and I highly recommend them for floral arrangements.
5- sweet pea
Sweet Peas are one of the sweetest flowers for your wedding, and they provide irresistible color and fragrance for spring and early summer bouquets. The delicate flowers are available in a wide range of rich colors, and they scent the air with grape-like scent.
With their slender stems and dainty blooms, sweet peas are a favorite for wedding flowers.
6- delphinium
Delphinium has striking, dramatic quality and amazing blue color and ruffled, bright blossoms bring texture to your wedding flowers. They are great for your personal flowers, and larger arrangements too. They come in various spectrum of blues, lavender and white, and is one of the most popular choices for wedding floral arrangements. However, I will caution that the plant and their sap are toxic, so take care when handling and be sure to wash up afterward and don’t use on your cake!
7- hyacinth
Hyacinths are extremely fragrant and have long flower heads with dense star-shaped flowers, waxy petals and long leaves. They come in almost all colors of the rainbow. White, yellow, pink, light blue, violet, and purple are the most common colors. They have a heavy head and need a supportive vase with fresh water and kept in indirect sunlight and a bit on the cooler side. They are good for centerpieces, but I would not recommend for your bridal bouquet.
8- peony
Peonies are fragrant, colorful flowers and are a favorite for spring wedding flowers. They are available in late spring and early summer and they produce large single and double flowers of white, yellow, peach, pink, red, burgundy and purples.
In addition to their large and layered flowers and sweet scent, they make excellent cut flowers and can last more than a week in a vase. Peonies symbolize wealth, good luck, love, and honor and a popular choice for your wedding flowers.
9- lisanthus
Lisianthus, known as Texas bluebell, Prairie gentian, Poor man’s rose and Lira de San Pedro, is native to the Continental US. Lisianthus comes in a variety of colors including lavender, peach purple, pink, pale yellow, green, light brown and white.
Lisianthus’ relaxed ruffles make adoring companions or even stand-ins for other flowers with similar shapes. Their lack of fragrance makes them ideal for the allergy-prone. Single-petaled Lisianthus look a lot like tulips and poppies, while double-petaled varieties are similar to a smaller version of roses and peonies. The multi-branched stems have several buds that open.
Lisianthus will make any winter arrangement romantic and has pretty long vase life and make excellent corsage and boutonnieres!
10-snapdragon
Snapdragon is grow in spikes, each bursting with tube-shaped flowers which look like puffy lips and come in red, pink, orange, peach, yellow, purple, yellow, and white.
Although they may look tough, snapdragons are quite sensitive and should be handled with care.
Use a floral preservative, as Snapdragons love sugar prolong their vase life and boost color. Trim the stems every other day and only remove only the leaves that fall below the waterline, otherwise removing them all will stimulate the flowers to fall off. Refresh the water and floral preservative as well. To keep spikes from bending toward the light once in an arrangement, just break off the tips.
