Spring is such a beautiful time of year, when Mother Nature has the world blooming all around us. And Legacy Stables and Events is no exception. Our beautifully landscaped grounds are picture-perfect any time of year, and spring is no exception. From the daffodils and tulips to the dogwood trees and azaleas, there’s plenty of natural beauty to serve as a backdrop to all the photographs that will be happening at your wedding. It’s truly a venue that takes your breath away.
But the backdrop isn’t the only thing decorating a wedding. Many brides want flowers everywhere, from bouquets to centerpieces, and even floral arches. Often, we get asked, What are the best flowers for a spring wedding? Luckily, there are plenty to choose from.
Seasonal Flowers for Spring Bouquets
Many brides like to choose flowers that are in season for their bridal bouquets. Even though florists are able to get almost anything at any time or year, there are some good reasons to pick from seasonal choices. For one, they might cost less. And also, they’ll look more appropriate for the season. It might be jarring to have bold colors of Gerber daisies and zinnias during the springtime, when the rest of the landscape is soft pastels.
Here are a few great choices, from the early spring days in March through to the warmer days of June:
- Forsythia
- Grape Hyacinth
- Tulips
- Daffodils
- Peonies
- Irises
- Sweetpeas
- Snapdragons
- Delphinium
- Lily of the Valley
Timeless Classics
Many brides will choose to have roses or orchids in bouquets and to decorate the table tops. While roses are blooming in the spring, they’re seen in wedding bouquets any time of year, from late summer into winter. And of course, orchids aren’t native to the southeast, but these ornamental beauties are also available from florists year-round.
One nice thing about roses and orchids is that there are so many colors to choose from. For spring weddings, you might look to have white or pink varieties. But there are also plenty of purple, bright pink, and yellow to choose from as well.
Choosing the Style of Bouquet
Determining what flowers to choose for your wedding will depend not only on your taste and preferences, but also on what type of bouquet you plan on carrying. Delicate spring flowers such as sweetpeas, delphinium, and lily of the valley look beautiful in small posies or cascading bouquets. Puffy peonies and the more formal roses look nice in rounded, hand-held bouquets. And for the one-stem or pageant style that has become popular for weddings, look to roses, irises, and tulips to make a statement.
Planning a wedding can involve a lot of research and decisions. But the important thing to remember is to have fun. When you choose to have your wedding at Legacy Stables and Events, our staff is on hand to help out where needed. We’ve got lots of experience in helping guide brides through all of the decision-making, even down to the types of flowers for the bouquets.
