September, October and November are often considered ideal months for couples looking to tie the knot. Sunny skies, warmer weather and an abundance of gorgeous spring-time flowers in every colour – what more could you ask for?
The perfect flowers can transform and elevate your wedding aesthetic, but sometimes the process of choosing your wedding flowers can be overwhelming. With so many varieties , colours and combinations, describing your vision can feel like tackling a 1,000-piece puzzle without the picture on the box.
Making things more complicated is the fact that certain blooms are only available at specific times of the year, and even then, Mother Nature may have other ideas. Hydrangeas may be a bridal favourite, but they’re not available throughout the year, which means adding these impressive flowers to your wedding flower vision might not be possible in Spring.
To help you narrow your decision, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best flowers for your Spring wedding and how to incorporate these blooms into your big day:
Ranunculus
Renowned for its romantic appeal, ranunculus is a bridal favourite, particularly in spring and summer when it naturally blooms. With its intricate, crepe-like layers and soft, sculptural form, it’s easy to see why these flowers are so beloved by bridal couples. Highly versatile, ranunculus pairs beautifully with other flowers, creating rich textures and depth to floral arrangements. It’s also equally striking when styled alone, making a captivating statement that highlights its natural beauty and delivering a bridal bouquet that’s unique and exquisite.
From pure white and soft blush to vibrant tones of red, orange, yellow, and pink, ranunculus adapts effortlessly to an array of wedding palettes thanks to a variety of colour options. Romantic, timeless, and inherently elegant, it’s the perfect choice for a spring wedding.
Snapdragon
Traditionally, snapdragons represent grace and strength, providing symbolic significance when stepping into this next, exciting chapter. These blooms are tall and have a spire-like shape that adds height and structure to bouquets, centrepieces and ceremony arrangements. They can be a great addition for brides looking for cost-effective and minimalist bouquet arrangements, as grouping snapdragons together can provide a modern and refined look. They don’t offer the softness and fullness that other blooms may have, and therefore make a wonderful filler where centrepieces need a bit more volume and texture.
From whites and blush pinks to vibrant corals, purples and yellows, it’s a versatile flower that pairs well with almost any flower and wedding colour palette.
Sweet Pea
It’s all in the name! Everything from the scent to its ethereal look make Sweet Peas the sweetest flowers out there. They come in a variety of colours, from blush pink to deep purple, and their dainty stems and almost translucent petals only add to their delicate charm.
This almost fragile appearance makes them the perfect addition to a simple yet beautiful bridal bouquet. Add a loose silky ribbon and you’ve got a winner. It’s also a great addition to any centrepiece, providing a light and airy sense of romance to any table setting.
Peonies
Peonies symbolise romance, prosperity and a happy marriage, making them a meaningful choice for your big day. It’s no surprise that these blooms are the most coveted of all the wedding flowers. Their intoxicating fragrance and lush, full blooms are just a few more reasons peonies are such a popular choice.
They come in a variety of colours and are a wonderful way to create an eye-catching bridal bouquet that feels romantic and luxurious. Peonies also add volume and texture, and can be great for balancing out smaller or more delicate blooms, making them a great choice for centrepieces.
Anemone
Anemones have a bold, distinctive look with their dark centres and vibrant petals. It’s not a flower that every bride or bridal couple will love, but if you’re looking to make a statement, anemones are an easy choice.
These blooms come in a variety of colours, including red and white, but with their bold, dark centres against the bright or soft petals, anemones create a captivating focal point for bridal bouquets when paired with other flowers. These are also great for contrast and texture, pairing wonderfully with softer, fluffier flowers which can help to add depth to your floral arrangements. However, it’s important to keep in mind that these flowers tend to wilt easily, so including these flowers when it’s scorching outside is not recommended.
