March is finally here and spring is just around the corner which finds us flinging ourselves back into wedding season!! If you are planning a spring wedding, how wonderful to be able to include some of these gorgeous spring blooms. We picked these bouquets from Pinterest to bring you the beauty of spring.
Lilac
 |
 |
Lilacs are a flower best used when in season and oh how gorgeous they are. If you are lucky enough to have a lilac bush you already know how delightfully their scent is carried on the breeze. Their soft purple shades blend perfectly with other spring blooms to make a beautiful bridal bouquet for your central Illinois wedding.
Daffodil
 |
 |
The daffodil has to be one of the cheeriest blooms to announce spring’s arrival and whether used more subtly with these peach parrot tulips and scented narcissus in the wedding bouquet (upper left) or bright and bold with the larger King Daffodils and yellow mimosa in the bridal bouquet (upper right), they definitely say spring!!
Tulip
 |
 |
Tulips rival the rose for the sheer magnitude of wonderful colors available – from the bright jewel tones to the softest pastels and everything in between. They come in a fascinating assortment including the fringed edge, lily & peony shaped. Other gorgeous varieties available are the parrot tulips (pictured in the wedding bouquet – two above) and the larger french tulips. They look perfectly elegant mixed with garden roses (upper left) and equally charming in a wildflower bridal bouquet (upper right.)
Peony
 |
 |
I have heard it said that the rose is jealous when the peony blooms and it must be true – just look at the abundance of petals – what could be more luxurious?!! Even though peonies are now available almost year around, they are much more reasonably priced and so perfectly beautiful when they are in season. They range in shades from pure white, blush, pink, coral, hot pink, magenta, red and burgundy and look ever so elegant by themselves and so fabulous mixed with roses and other seasonal textures & greens to bring you a gorgeous and luxurious wedding bouquet.
Iris
 |
 |
The smaller Japanes and Siberian varieties of Iris are dainty enough to mix with coordinating blooms for a lovely spring wedding bouquet. The purple bouquet (above left) is anything but boring with the blend of lavender tulips & orchids, purple hydrangea and lisianthus offering a perfect backdrop for the purple iris. What a perfect marriage of blue, green/gray & white shades and textures in the cascade styled bouquet (upper right)!!
