If you are getting married in the spring, flowers will be in season. This means that the flowers will be at their best and most beautiful. However, flowers can be a big expense for a wedding. If you choose to have flowers, make sure to budget for them; otherwise, it will take a toll on your wedding planning.
Using only flowers and greenery in season is one method to save money on your wedding flowers. This means that the flowers will be locally grown, saving on transportation costs. Plus, using seasonal flowers means you’ll get beautiful spring blooms that haven’t been shipped in from far away.
The month of April is ideal for purchasing peony. These flowers are very popular, and people want them. But you can also choose other flowers like gardenias and garden roses.
The following are popular spring wedding flowers in April.
Tulips
Tulips come in many different types, each with its own unique style and feel. There are so many hues to pick from that you will be able to find one that is appropriate for your garden.
Freesia
Another flower that is perfect for a boutonniere is the freesia. These sweetly fragrant flowers bloom in the spring. Freesias have up to 10 tiny flowers on each stem, which can also be used as accents on escort cards or place settings.
Sweet Peas
These delicate and ruffled flowers have a lovely scent and an enormous range of colors. In fact, they have one of the biggest ranges in the plant kingdom. Sweet pea is the cheapest of flowers, but they’re not as expensive as peonies!
Snapdragons
They have a fun vibe, come in many different colors, and look like sculptures when used by themselves or with other flowers. They’re also less expensive than some other flowers.
Gardenias
Gardenias have a strong, sweet scent and are large in size. They make perfect boutonnieres for an all-white or muted color palette. However, be careful because they can turn brown when they start to die.
Roses
A rose is a popular flower that will never go out of fashion. It’s easy to choose a rose that fits your personal taste because there are many varieties and colors to choose from. Roses work well when mixed with other flowers in both centerpieces and bouquets.
If you use roses in wedding arrangements, it is best to use various colors and types.
Orchids
There was a time when people thought orchids were cheesy as wedding flowers, but now they are becoming more popular. People are using them in new and different ways. Orchids come in many colors and sizes.
Peonies
There are different types of peonies. The kind you might usually think of (like the one pictured) comes in white, pink, rose, and red. There are also tree peonies and hybrid peonies, which come in a wider range of colors, including shades of coral, yellow, dark mahogany, and deep purple.
Peonies are versatile flowers that can be used with other types of flowers. Alone, they might look a little too round, so make sure to mix them with other flowers.
Irises
Irises are underrated. People mostly think of them as purple, but they come in other colors. White irises can add texture and a bit of flair to a bouquet, similar to how sweet peas look.
Cornflower
Cornflowers are lovely wildflowers that can be utilized to add a splash of color to your bouquet or centerpiece, even though blue flowers are uncommon in nature. These flowers would work great in a wildflower-inspired bridal bouquet or on top of a white wedding cake.
Forsythia
These long branches with flowers are a sign of spring. Forsythias can be used on their own in large arrangements or as part of a bar setup.
Lisianthus
Lisianthus is a flower that is often looked down upon because there are so many varieties. However, some types of lisianthus are very beautiful, such as the frilly and full varieties that can almost be mistaken for roses.
Delphinium
Delphiniums are tall and have a stem. They come in different shades of blue and blueish-purple. They usually look good when they are alone in an arrangement.
Tweedie
These flowers are small and pretty. They are perfect for adding to a bouquet with all white flowers or greenery, or you could even make a bouquet out of just these flowers!
Ranunculus
This flower is popular because it is versatile and comes in many different colors. This flower comes in various sizes and varieties. The price range for this flower also varies a lot, depending on the size and type of the flower.
