Seasonal Floral Arrangements for Your Spring Wedding

Spring is a beautiful time to get married. The weather is excellent, not too warm or cold, and most importantly, spring flowers are in bloom.

This is why May is one of the most popular months to get married—the fourth overall, with 10.9% of weddings in 2022 occurring in this period. It is the tail-end of spring when flowers are all around and the weather is getting warmer. Wedding pictures in May are brighter and more vibrant.

Note that the cost of planning a May wedding may be higher because of such high demand. If you want a spring wedding on a tight budget, March and April are also great options: there’s a lot of sunshine without too much heat.

Spring is also the season for some of the most beautiful floral arrangements for your wedding.

What Popular Wedding Flowers Bloom in the Spring?

Brides magazine made a list of the most popular wedding flowers, and it has the usual suspects on the list:

• Roses
• Lilacs
• Tulips
• Orchids
• Lilies of the Valley

Luckily for couples, two of these are spring flowers. Tulips and lilies of the valley are favorites for brides and couples.

Hellebore is another spring-blooming flower that made it to the long list of popular wedding options.

Check out why these spring flowers are popular for weddings:

1) Tulips

These spring-blooming perennial flowers have large, showy petals. Tulips are incredibly popular in general floral arrangements. There are around 100 species of this bulbous flower, and they come in various colors like orange, pink, red, yellow, and white.

Some of the most popular tulip varieties include:

• Double tulips
• Fringed tulips
• Rembrandt tulips

2) Lilies of the Valley

These are sweetly scented woodland bell-shaped flowering plants that grow in sprays. Lilies of the valley are sometimes called May bells, Our Lady’s tears, and Mary’s tears because of their shape.

Lily of the Valley was the flower of choice for Grace Kelley’s wedding to the Prince of Monaco in 1956, which elevated its reputation as a popular wedding flower. Catherine, the Princess of Wales, used them for her wedding bouquet.

3) Hellebores

They are also known as Lenten roses because they are in their most beautiful bloom during the Lent. They come in many different colors and are fantastic accents to floral arrangements because they add texture.

4) Other Spring Flowers

As the weather gets warmer and the days become longer, more flowers start to bloom, and everything becomes more colorful in the spring. The air even smells better because of spring flowers.

Here are some of the most beautiful flowers that bloom in the spring:

• Creeping Phlox
• Daffodil
• Flowering quince
• Forget-me-not
• Foxglove
• Grape hyacinth
• Iris
• Magnolia
• Pansy
• Snapdragon
• Sweet alyssum
• Sweet pea

Floral Arrangements for Your Spring Wedding

One of the most critical elements of a wedding is the flowers for the decorations and bouquets.

Here are some of the spring flowers you can use for various floral arrangements for your wedding:

1) Bouquets

Of course, the most special bouquet belongs to the bride. However, the rest of the bridal entourage needs one, too.

A white flower bouquet is classic and timeless. You can go with hyacinths or follow the royal route with lilies of the valley. If you prefer vibrant colors, choose lilacs and hydrangeas.

The maid of honor and bridesmaids often have smaller versions of the bridal bouquet. Or they can have an entirely different arrangement that perfectly complements the bride’s flowers.

If you don’t want to go with standard bouquets, you can use flower crowns or corsages for your bridal entourage.

2) Boutonnieres and Corsages

Usually, the groom’s boutonniere has the same flowers as the bride's bouquet. The groom can also use an Anemone or tulip as a boutonniere. One or two sprigs of muscari will also look good on the lapel.

The groomsmen and ring bearers can also wear boutonnieres or corsages, usually less flashy versions of what the groom is wearing.

3) Basket of Petals for Flower Girls

Rose petals are the most common option for flower girls to throw on the aisle. However, in keeping with the spring tradition, you can opt for daffodil, poppy, or ranunculus petals.

4) Center Table Arrangement

Floral arrangements in the middle of dining tables liven up the decor. Yellow forsythias or snapdragons will do the trick for smaller tables and centerpieces. If you want to go big, hydrangeas and lilacs are incredibly vibrant and fill the space beautifully.

The flowers at the center table can also be used along pews, buffet tables, arches, entryways, aisles, and other areas in the wedding and reception venues.
