Fancy Fruits

Traditional arrangements are instantly elevated upon adding fruit and berries to the mix, especially equally seasonal ones. Consider what fruit (or even vegetables) could do for your colour palette when they’re added to your colour assortment. This palette of lilac, lavender, violet and greenery got a boost of buttermilk, tan, putty, ivory, sage and indigo thanks to the addition of unripe pomegranates and concord grapes.

Vibrant-Toned Blooms

Spring is the time to go bold and bright is pastels aren’t your thing. Think colourful collections of stems combining pink, coral, orange, ivory, and leafy greens—or choose another palette that feels more evocative of your personality, like a spectrum of cooler toned blues paired with oranges, yellows, and lavenders.

Don’t let the seasons indicate which colours you can or can’t play with. Rich hues like oxblood paired with ivory, nudes, gold, and an unexpected hit of turquoise seem to seamlessly transition between seasons, and feel adventurous for an affair in warmer weather.

Orchids Only
Sarah Falugo
When Christy Baird wed at the The Frederick Loewe Estate in Palm Springs, she opted for a simple, modern clutch of spring-available orchids to carry down the aisle—and it was super chic. This bloom comes in so many shapes, sizes, and specimens. We suggest you use them all for depth, dimension, and a look that’s more dynamic.

Lush Lavender

Don’t shy away from the most polarizing shade in the rainbow. Lighter shades of lilac and lavender made waves on last spring’s runways—and there’s no reason you shouldn’t embrace the it-shade for your wedding day, be it in a monochromatic way, or as a pop of colour in your palette.

Citrus Centrepieces
Nathan Underwood
Adding in citrus fruit any time of year can add just the right amount of texture and colour to an already beautiful bouquet or centrepiece, but when paired with pinks, corals, and light yellows, it feels apropos for warmer weather.

Dried Flowers
Cibelle Levi
When BAZAAR Bride and celebrity hair stylist, Justine Marjan, wed in an elopement in Santa Barbara, she requested a clutch of dried stems. Paired with her tawny bridal suit by Michael Costello and a wide-brimmed hat, it was a modern take on ‘70s style, and undeniably chic.

Opt for a handful of beautiful blooms and work with your wedding florist to create a cascading effect with overflowing vines and stems. This look, just on time for the release of the latest Little Women film is an update on a bohemian look, and equal parts ethereal and effortless.

Minimal Mix

Pair lengthy waxflower vines with peonies and other stand alone stems for a springtime mix that is minimal and unique. Gestural branches pack a punch when it comes to scale and shape, without the flowers feeling too full, lush, or over the top.

Capri Cool

Bright punches of colour transport your guests to a place as stylish as the Amalfi Coast, the French Riviera, and beyond. Rather than a subtle pastel or an array of neutrals, pack a punch with tones that are quirky, vibrant, and eclectic.
