Spring Wedding Floral Trends

By Amanda Hammond, Harmons Floral Production Manager and Certified Florist

Spring is the season of new beginnings and budding romance. For couples planning their weddings, Harmons Flower Shop is prepared with a wide selection of seasonal blooms and personalized services to ensure each wedding reflects the unique love story of the couple. The following spring floral trends will elevate any wedding.

Color

While neutrals are always a romantic and safe go-to, spring is the perfect time to utilize fun palettes and color patterns because the season brings a bright eye-opening reminder of how happy color makes us feel. Purple is making its royal walk down the aisle this year, in all its shades and tones. Along with purple, the following color palettes are set to be the go-tos this year:

• Dusty blue, hot pink, and coral

• Light blue and pink

• Blush, gold, and navy

• Sage green, peach, and gray

• White, green (in all its shades and tones), and black

• Coral, yellow, and light gray

• Dusty rose and blue

Flower Types for Every Bride

For spring weddings, peonies and garden roses with the full and ruffled multi-petal bloom will always be a beautiful focal point. However, the more whimsical look and feel of the free “floppy” stems like Ranunculus, Anemone, sweet pea, and tulips are now trending.

For the traditional bride, the classic choice would be roses, and for a modern look, choose tropical flowers like orchids, Anthuriums, ginger, and some defined greens with a larger leaf look. If boho is your style, go for garden roses, peonies, pampas grass, Protea, and dahlias with mixtures of eucalyptus.

Bouquets and Centerpieces

When choosing bouquets for attendants, the current look is turning toward more dainty flowers. Anthuriums, parrot tulips, ginger, and Protea are unique options. For centerpieces, try tiny glass bottles with single floral stems to bring a fun and playful feel to the center of the table. The choice of flower here should reflect and compliment the color palette chosen for the bridal party.

Sustainability

At Harmons Flower Shop, sustainability is one of our top priorities. Our green waste goes to a mulching facility, and we limit the arrangements where floral foam is needed by using vases with water only (as floral foam isn’t very environmentally friendly). Any cardboard used is crushed and recycled.

Following wedding festivities, if you have chosen to use vases with water instead of containers with floral foam, the flowers can be deposited in a green waste can or compost.

Suggestions for Couples

When choosing a florist, ask if they deliver and if they will set up the flowers. You’ll also want to find out how well the florist can understand your vision. Have a conversation about what you are wanting and give them time to interpret your ideas. The longer notice given, the better the chances are for the couple to actually get more of the specific flower types they are wanting. It is suggested to give at least three months notice, however, the less particular the couple is about flower types, the less notice needed.

A final thought, choose the flowers and colors you love that show your personality and create the type of moment you want for your special day. Cheers!
