Love blooms eternal in the spring! For springtime brides, there’s no limit to the colors and fragrances you can choose when designing your signature bouquet. Of course, picking your perfect petals can also feel a tad overwhelming, but it’s an important part of the wedding planning process. Find inspiration with these eight types of flowers that are perfect for a spring bridal bouquet.
1. Peonies
Nothing announces spring like peonies. Soft, fluffy peonies add understated substance to a bouquet. Brides love them because a few peonies worked into a bouquet can really go a long way. These sweetly fragranced, colossal flowers can be white, pink, or red.
2. Daffodils
Perfect for an early spring wedding that falls around Easter, daffodils signal the hope and brightness that come with the transition into the warmer months. As underutilized flowers in bridal bouquets, they are perfect for the bride seeking to create an original look. That pop of yellow created by daffodils is unmistakable as a bride makes her way down the aisle.
3. Tulips
Like daffodils, tulips symbolize the beauty and renewal of spring. The great thing about tulips is that they are iconic enough to create a full bouquet on their own. They also look lovely when sprinkled into “wildflower” bouquets. Of course, the biggest perk of tulips is that they come in so many different colors!
4. Cherry Blossoms
For the bride who wants to symbolize spring with a choice that’s totally original, there’s nothing like a bridal bouquet with cherry blossoms. The cherry blossom’s soft, pink petals look ethereal and delicate. The length of the cherry blossom stem makes it easy to create a full, tall bouquet without using tons of florals.
5. Daisies
Do you aspire to have a whimsical, timeless spring bridal bouquet? Your style will be “coming up daisies” when you pick this universally beloved flower that’s associated with sunshine and smiles. White daisies are perfect if you want an understated all-white look for your bouquet. Yellow daisies are perfect if you want to insert some sunshine into your look!
6. Sweet Pea
Don’t overlook the sweet pea if you want charming, old-world floral accents for your springtime bridal bouquet. Sweet pea can be used alone if you’re looking for a very simple, just-picked type of bouquet to hold. However, most brides like to pepper vibrant purple or blue sweet pea flowers into their bouquets.
7. Freesias
Cut freesias will serenade your senses with their sweetly perfumed scent as you march down the aisle! These trumpet-shaped flowers stand up beautifully in a bouquet. They are also beloved by brides because they can be matched to nearly any style theme. Freesias come in vibrant shades of red, yellow, pink, and orange. You can even find them in neutral white or cream shades.
8. Spray Roses
Unlike classic single-bud roses, spray roses come with up to five buds per stem. That makes them perfect for stuffing a bouquet with beautiful colors. Spray roses come in romantic shades of red, pink, and white that create a classic springtime bridal bouquet every time.
