Spring Flowers Bring Bridal Bliss

Since March is wedding-month here at King Jewelers, we decided to branch out (no pun intended) by switching our focus from diamonds to flora today!

There’s a reason so many women choose to get married in the spring- the weather is usually not too hot and not too cold, many family members are able to get time off to attend the wedding, and the most colorful flowers are all in bloom.

One of the most devastating things a bride can hear is that the flower she’s been dead set on having in her wedding is out of bloom during her date (think of the gorgeous pink peonies…. wilting in frigid December). Luckily for springtime brides, there’s no other time of year which will provide so many options.

Keep in mind that it’s better to set your mind on an overall color scheme or theme, rather than on a few specific types of flowers. Things happen- weather, pesticides, shipping problems- and if you’ll only accept one type of flower, any small hiccup can make your cost skyrocket! Give them a bit of leeway, and a good florist will keep you in budget and make sure you carry a breathtaking arrangement!

1. Peonies

They have always been well-liked, but Pink Peonies got a huge boost when they became an integral part of cultural phenomenons like Gossip Girl and Pinterest. The large blooms make an impact which is hard to ignore! Nowadays, a bouquet of pink peonies is in high-demand, and winter brides are paying through the nose to get them out of season. Luckily for our spring brides, May is the most affordable time of year to order these flowers. Pinterest-loving Spring Brides rejoice!

2. Orchids

Pricey, usually, but another favorite flower amongst brides everywhere. The wide variety of shades (white, two-tone, purple, pink, yellow, maroon…) make them useful in a variety of color schemes. Brides on a budget should investigate Dendrobium Orchids, which are just as beautiful, but tend to be more affordable.

3. Daisies

For the bride who really wants her bouquet to look fresh and bright, we recommend Gerbera Daises. These flowers come in a variety of colors, mesh beautifully with the ever-popular rose, and will add some volume to your bouquet with minimal cost. Affordable flowers that are also gorgeous? What more could you ask for?

4. Wildflowers

Nothing really beats an outdoor wedding in the springtime (unless you have allergies, obviously.) For the bohemian bride who wants to get in touch with nature, wildflowers are the obvious choice. The eclectic blend of blooms (which either your florist can create, or you can DIY by shopping at large flower marts) will make your bouquet unique and gorgeous from every angle.
