With spring just around the corner, many of you soon-to-be newlyweds are starting your search for the perfect finishing touches to accent a spring wedding. Although a beautiful spring day is probably at the top of the list of things you’re wishing for, we’re going to guess that beautiful floral arrangements to fit the season come in at a close number two. That’s why we’ve teamed up with one of Utah’s favorite local florists, The Painted Daisy Floral and Events to get the scoop on all things awesome when it comes to doing spring wedding florals right. Check out their list of tips below to get started!
1. Peonies and Dahlias Offer a Fresh Spring Look
Tina Chadwick at the Painted Daisy offered this tip for those of you looking to capture the season’s fresh feel in your wedding décor: “Most flowers are in season at that time but a lot of brides prefer peonies and dahlias for a fresh spring look. Roses are available year round and also gerbera daisies. Both are popular.”
2. Try to Avoid Ordering Around Major Holidays
Tina also noted that there are certain busy periods that should be avoided throughout the year. Some of these include Mothers’ Day and Valentine’s Day. Why? “The prices are usually double and the quality of the flowers may suffer because the florist will be very busy.”
3. Plan to Order According to Your Needs
Typically, ordering your flowers one to two weeks prior to your big day is fine in terms of getting the flowers and accessories you need, says Tina. However, if you have a special request, she adds that it is best to give your florist at least a month to get the flowers you need.
4. Order by Season
Although most flowers are available year-round, Tina notes that they will come at a higher price if out of season. “Some seasonal flowers like peonies and dahlias definitely have their season but can be ordered off season for a much higher price.” Fortunately, this is the perfect time of year to start ordering these spring favorites!
