Spring flowers are here!






Spring is officially here today!! And what could say spring more than beautiful tulips, freesia and hyacinths. After a long hard winter it is one of my favorite things to see the first buds of my daffodil and hyacinth plants peeking up through the dirt in my flower beds. But, I have good news for you this morning - tulips and freesia , once thought to be only spring time flowers are now available for your wedding throughout the year! With the advancements in growing, harvesting and shipping, you can now have these beautiful flowers whenever you get married. I designed a gorgeous all white tulip wedding for a bride who married in September!!

As you are looking at blooms for your big day also remember fragrance. Freesia give a soft wonderful frangrance and come in a variety of colors - white, bright pink, lavendar, and yellow to name a few. Other very fragrant flowers include lilies, hyacinth, stock, roses and carnations. Mix a few of these sweet smelling fresh flowers with non fragrant ones and you will have a wedding that uses all the senses - sight, smell, touch, sound, and taste. Think through all of these five senses as you plan your entire day so your guests will be wowed by the experience.

I would love to talk to you and see what your favorite flowers and colors are and see how we could incorporate them into your wedding flowers.
