Top Tips for Choosing the Perfect Spring Wedding Flowers

Spring is the season where colour comes back to life — after months of grey skies and bare branches, we finally see gardens and hedgerows bursting into bloom. Seedlings start to sprout, daffodils dot the landscape, and soft, joyful hues return to our world. It’s no wonder spring weddings are some of our favourites — the weather is gentle, the floral options are abundant, and the colour palettes are endlessly inspiring.

In this blog, we’re sharing some of our top tips for choosing spring wedding flowers. Our biggest advice? Don’t be afraid to embrace colour and go seasonal! Using what’s naturally in bloom often leads to the most beautiful, fresh, and memorable floral designs.

TIP ONE: Embrace the Season’s Colours

Spring offers an incredible array of colours — so celebrate them! Bring that joyful seasonal energy into your floral choices and let nature lead the way. We’ve pulled together some of our favourite spring colour combinations to help inspire your wedding palette.

Pastels are a classic choice — think powder pinks, lilacs, buttery yellows, and soft greens. These delicate tones are perfect for creating a romantic, ethereal feel, and spring is when the widest variety of pastel-toned blooms are available.

Yellow, the quintessential spring colour, can be paired with warm shades like coral, peach, and rich pinks for a sunny, cheerful vibe. Or for a softer, cooler look, combine yellow with lavender and purples for a more whimsical, romantic feel.

Blue is another refreshing option for spring — pair it with soft blush pinks or whites to keep the palette balanced and light. And of course, the ever-popular lilac and pink combo remains a springtime favourite, offering softness, femininity, and elegance in equal measure.

TIP TWO: Choose Seasonal Blooms

We know we say this often — but that’s because it’s true: seasonal flowers really are the best! Opting for in-season blooms means you’ll get the freshest quality, the best variety, and florals that truly capture the spirit of spring.

Spring brings with it an abundance of stunning flowers — think tulips, ranunculus, anemones, and of course, daffodils. As the season progresses, we’re treated to fragrant lilacs and the much-loved peony, which adds a luxurious, romantic touch to any bouquet.

But it’s not just about the flowers — spring also offers beautiful, textural foliage like viburnum and spiraea branches, which can elevate your arrangements and give them that natural, garden-inspired feel.

Trusting your florist to work with what’s in season will ensure your wedding florals feel fresh, intentional, and perfectly in tune with the time of year.

TIP THREE: Think About Scent

One of the loveliest things about spring flowers is their natural fragrance. Adding scented blooms like freesias, sweet peas, lilacs, or hyacinths can bring a whole new dimension to your wedding florals — scent has the power to evoke memories, create atmosphere, and make your bouquet truly unforgettable.

Just a little word of caution — go light on heavily scented flowers if you’re expecting guests with sensitivities or allergies. A soft hint of fragrance is all you need to make a beautiful impact without overwhelming the senses.

We hope these little tips have sparked some inspiration and ideas for your spring wedding flowers. Most importantly, have fun with the process — choosing your wedding flowers should be a joyful part of the planning! Your florist is there to guide you, offer creative suggestions, and help bring your floral vision to life with seasonal beauty and personal touches.
