Our Top Tips for Spring Wedding Bouquets
The Best Colours for Spring Wedding Bouquets
Spring in the UK is all about new life and the season is synonymous with new growth and an explosion of colour. Depending on what you are looking for, there are all sorts of colour schemes that you can lean into for your dream wedding day courtesy of Mother Nature, from bright, bold shades to soft, delicate blooms. To embrace the season’s offerings, encompass flowers that traditionally come into bloom in spring such as tulips, roses, bluebells, daffodils, primrose and peonies. For a splash of sunshine, daffodils and white roses can be tied together for a really stunning pairing, while for gorgeous pink and lilac pastel notes, fritillaria, tulips and hellebore are matches made in heaven. For true romance, red roses also begin to bloom in spring and can be used as the focal point of a timelessly romantic bouquet.
Trending Spring Wedding Bouquet Styles
When it comes to arranging spring wedding bouquets, there truly is no right or wrong answer. Choosing the right flowers is all about personal preference and it’s important that your selection reflects you and your partner. That said, there are particular combinations that are trending this year that may capture your interest. If you are seeking a little inspiration for your dream style, one trend that is garnering lots of attention is wildflower-inspired bouquets. Playful and elegant at the same time, these spring wedding bouquets often include elements such as seasonal blooms intertwined with delicate grasses and herbs. Sleek and simple, minimalist bouquets are also gaining popularity too, showcasing small, curated selections of high-impact flowers such as orchids, white roses and tulips. Thinking outside the flower box, dried flower bouquets are also rising in popularity for their rustic romance and ease. Some of the spring styles we’ve seen and loved include dried flowers and herbs such as lavender, pampas grass, white broom and bunny tails.
Choosing Bouquets that Match Your Wedding Theme
When selecting spring wedding bouquets for your special day, it’s important to note how the flowers complement your overall wedding theme. The perfect way to make an impact, convey your style, add sentimental meaning, or just simply add a colourful touch, bouquets make for a lovely way to tie your design ideas together. For a sense of harmony throughout, select flowers in your bouquet that flow with flowers you may have incorporated elsewhere, for example in lapels, on tables, decorating archways and so on. For vibrant, colourful celebrations, peonies,
ranunculus, or anemones can be used in a range of hues. If you’re going for a sunshine-filled day whatever the weather, then daffodils, yellow tulips, and forsythia are stunning choices. Meanwhile for a more boho wedding theme, try bluebells, forget-me-nots, and primrose for a soft, natural look.
Tips for Planning Your Spring Wedding Bouquets
When selecting the perfect flowers for your spring wedding bouquets, one of the biggest things to consider is sourcing. Think about when your favourites come into bloom and if you can source flowers from local growers instead of picking wildflowers yourself (which can impact the natural balance of the environment). For example, crocuses, daffodils and bluebells are some of the earliest blooms in spring in the UK, while tulips, peonies, and irises typically bloom later on. These timings can also be affected by weather conditions each year, both nationally and locally. For the most eco-friendly option, consider using flowers from organic garden nurseries near to your wedding venue, as these local experts will often be in the best position to provide the best advice, as well as high quality flowers with a low carbon footprint. You can also work with a professional local florist to receive help with logistics, design, and budget and ensure your bouquets are as perfect as can be.
