But an important part of weddings is the budget. By selecting flowers in season you can save money. To help with this process, we’ve found the best flowers for spring weddings and explain what makes them stand out.
Hyacinth

In a lot of blue flowers you can detect pink or purple. In Hyacinth, their blue is a clear, sky-blue and nothing more.
Columbine
What makes columbines special is their long vase life. You want to remember your special day for as long as you possibly can. These flowers will help because they last a week to 10 days without wilting. They fight perfectly into casual wedding flower arrangements and can be found in purple, pink, red, blue or even bi-colors.
Lilac
If you’re going vintage for your wedding, you want to go with lilac flowers. They have a rich heritage as Victorian flowers and add mass and texture to large flower arrangements. They are highly fragrant flowers and are most commonly found in purple, white and red.
Forsythia
Perfect for the spring time, these flowers are bright yellow and stand out. They have a strong woody stem which allows them to stand tall. Because of this they are perfect for large ceremony arrangements as opposed to being used in bouquets. Additionally, their vivid color will stand out because the flower blooms before the leaves resulting in no greenery.
Peony
The peony blossom fits perfectly into any wedding arrangement and is the perfect flower for a springtime wedding. These flowers aren’t just pretty and fragrant but they hold meaning to a wedding day. They represent good karma and a happy life and marriage. Because of their high petal count, you don’t need a lot to make a statement. They are popular in white, pink, red and garnet.
Foxglove

Lilly of the Valley
The perfect bouquet filler, these dainty flowers have a powerful fragrance and delicate appearance. They are also known as Lady’s Tears and have a waxy look. They are best kept in white or pink wedding bouquets as they would get lost in larger arrangements.
Poppy
If you’re looking for something different in your wedding arrangement, look no further than the Poppy. These differ from the rest of the spring flowers as they do not come in spring colors. Poppy flowers are a bold red with a black center. They are the perfect flower for making a strong statement at your wedding.
