tips for Creating beautiful Florals for a St. Louis Spring Wedding

As a premier St. Louis wedding flower specialist, we’re excited to share our insights on creating stunning floral arrangements for your spring wedding.

choosing seasonal spring flowers in st. louis

Spring in St. Louis often starts in early March. While it may still feel chilly outside, we can see the first signs of spring with daffodils and tulips. Incorporating locally grown flowers into your wedding is an easy choice in our area during the Spring months. Later in Spring, throughout the month of May, our area brings so many beautiful peonies that can be used in your wedding. While peonies cannot be sourced year-round, Spring is the absolute perfect time to incorporate them into your wedding flowers.

Planning a Spring wedding means you have so many beautiful seasonal flowers to choose from. Spring offers a bountiful selection of flowers.

• Daffodils
• Tulips
• Icelandic Poppies
• Peonies
• Ranunculus
• Hyacinth

All of these bring a fresh, vibrant feel and symbolize new beginnings—a perfect sentiment for weddings and the start of a new marriage to your partner.

You could even feature beautiful branches such as forsythia, cherry blossoms, and lilacs. All of these give a beautiful soft appearance while offering so much WOW factor.

If you are interested in any of these flowers, let your florist know! If it’s spring, your florist should be able to source them from local farmers. And if not, they will be more than happy to know the look you are going for and can make recommendations for alternatives in the event something is not available or not in season.

Color palettes for your St. louis spring wedding

Spring always makes us think of fresh, new beginnings. The first blooms of the year popping up as a sign of warmth et us excited for the new season, full of hope and promise. Soft, yet vibrant colors of all sorts can be perfect for a spring wedding. From pastels to more vibrant colors, you have so many options.

We love incorporating pastel color palettes with soft pinks, yellows, whites, and lilac. You can create a beautiful wedding with just one or two of these colors, or mix them all together.

To add a pop of color, consider brighter hues like hot pink, orange, or blue. For example, delphinium, with its striking blue, adds a delicate touch while maintaining a soft, garden feel.

sustainable st. louis floristry

We prioritize sustainability by using locally-sourced flowers and eco-friendly practices. One of our goals is to make your your wedding as kind to the earth as it is beautiful. We pride ourselves in not only growing some of the beautiful blooms featured in your floral designs, but also by supporting other local farmers such as Bi-State Blooms, Flowers in Clay, Urban Buds, and more.

Some of the other ways we focus on sustainable floristry is by reusing mechanics, such as chicken wire or floral pins. We also want your flowers to get as much love as they can! So, we encourage you to give flowers away at the end of your event to your guests, venue staff, etc. or you can choose to donate them and we will bring them to a local hospital or nursing home the following day.

spring floral design ideas

From bouquets to centerpieces, incorporating spring flowers can create stunning designs. Imagine a whimsical, garden-style bridal bouquet with peonies and tulips or a reception table adorned with hyacinths and daffodils.

If you really want to make a statement, consider adding a statement piece such as a floral arch. This can be done as a monotype design, with one type of flower, such as lilacs or forsythia, or as a mixed piece, incorporating many different types to give a more garden-style vibe.
