The Best Blooms for Spring

The Best Blooms for Spring

Spring has officially sprung! The season well-known for bringing back the brightest blooms and outdoor gatherings is finally here. We may be waiting for the weather to fully warm up, but many florals have already adapted to the new season. There is a common association with spring and flowers and that’s because most flowering plants bloom in the springtime. So go ahead and take advantage of the blooming flora and create an immediate statement arrangement with your choice of blooms and start your spring off right!  

Peonies are a Crowd Favorite

Peonies are crowd favorites at almost every event. They are large blooms that come in a few colors and always make a statement when they're shown in any arrangement! This specific flower is in season from the end of the spring throughout the season and is very hard to obtain during its off-season.

Utilize Peonies in Arrangement While They’re Still Budded

Peonies also look great in an arrangement as buds. By adding these early stage blooms into an arrangement, you can enjoy the beauty from the start to the finish of its floral life. Just make sure the stem is conditioned correctly and that the bud isn’t too closed off and tight – there is a chance that it might not open.

Sweet Pea as a Delicate Touch

Another stunning flower to incorporate into your spring events is the sweet pea. This bloom is not only a statement for the eyes, but the smell is incredible. The very thin stems make it easy to place into an array of arrangements.

Dye Sweet Pea for an Exact Color Match

Sweet pea can be dyed many colors, which will help transform your venue into a completely personalized event. Looking to launch a product and want your arrangements to match your product? Dyed sweet pea can help you achieve this cohesive look.  Their unique and delicate petals will always pop in any arrangement.

Mimosa to Add a Dash of Texture

Mimosa is a very unique bloom. They have one of the quickest seasons of any flower. Mimosa starts to bloom in very late winter/early spring and fades out right around the beginning of March. Fun fact: mimosa is the flower of International Women's Day. The custom of giving the mimosa flower dates back to Italy around 1946. The flowers were intended to be given as a sign of respect. Although only around for a short period of time, this bold, yellow flower should be used to bring springtime light into your event.

Hydrangea as a Dependable Staple

Hydrangea is a versatile variety that can be acquired all year round. This floral is very full and will give your arrangement a lot of volume. Hydrangea has the most variety of color of all florals, giving you a lot of room for creativity when using it in an arrangement. Fun fact: the color of the petals changes naturally based on the pH levels found in the soil. These blooms drink from the petals as well as the stems!

Use Hydrangea as an Arrangement Base

Because of its volume, hydrangea makes a great flower arrangement base element. If you’re looking to use hydrangea in your arrangement, we suggest starting with hydrangea and then fill in your additional floral elements around the large bloom. The hydrangea will act as a good anchor element to build your arrangement around.

Each year the event game changes when the warmer seasons roll in. The gorgeous weather allows you to expand your choice of venues and arrangements. Bringing events outside will give you more room to explore and natural light to beautifully highlight your décor.  Spring blooms also give us a great reason to celebrate. The different floral varieties allow us to play with color, texture, and volume.
