1. Tulips
Tulips are some of the first flowers to poke out from the ground when the thermometer starts inching up. For an early spring wedding, fill your bouquets and centerpieces with these large, cheerful flowers.
2. Birds of Paradise
For unique wedding flowers, reach for birds of paradise. The tropical flowers come in bright shades and work well for a destination or beach-inspired wedding. They look especially snazzy as the groom’s and groomsmen’s boutonnieres.
3. Dahlia
Dahlia blooms are round and compact. While you can decorate your wedding with white dahlia for a classic, traditional vibe, they come in many other colors as well. Stick them in etched glass vases and dot each table at the reception.
4. Hyacinth
You can’t get much more romantic than hyacinth flowers. They come in clusters much like another spring favorite: Lilacs. Dot them among tulips like this classy bouquet or make them the star by featuring only hyacinth for your spring wedding flower arrangements.

Cherry blossoms are extra special. They only bloom for a short time, so if you can time your wedding to the blooming of these fragrant tree flowers, you’re fortunate. Because they’re tree flowers, you can use the branches as part of the wedding decorations. Stick them in tall vases or incorporate shorter stems into your bridal bouquet.
6. Peonies
Coming in a variety of warm peach and pink shades, peonies make a romantic addition to wedding reception centerpieces. And as you can see here, they also create stunning and captivating bouquets. Stick a few blooms into these fun tea cup vases if you’re having a garden party or tea party themed wedding.
