Instead of giving you a list of flowers, we've put together a number of themes which illustrate a number of popular design options available when designing spring wedding flowers for Hertfordshire, Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk weddings..

The End of Winter – For a late winter or very early spring wedding, white and cream combined with lots of pale green or hints of pale colours give a very refined look. This is a look which works well with any other colours that may be part of your wedding design. It is also appropriate for a more formal or contemporary style of wedding where the desired atmosphere is understated optimism.

In this late winter / early spring bouquet we have used white flowers in varying stages of bloom, from completely closed green buds through to fully opened. The limited colour palette creates a sophisticated look, while the various shades of green and different flower sizes give the arrangement life and energy appropriate to the season and the occasion.



Back to Nature – Spring is a time to loosen up and get back in touch with nature, so a popular spring wedding theme is to look for locally available English spring flowers such as daffodils, tulips, crocus, hyacinth and anemone. Using native wild flowers such as daisies and bluebells is also very appropriate for this theme, either used on their own with plenty of greenery for a rustic look, or combined with more traditional flowers such as roses for something more refined.  A natural feel can also be obtained through the choice of arrangement, avoiding too much structure and symmetry and going for something more flowing and relaxed.

In this table top decoration the flowers are traditional pale pink and cream roses, but the arrangement is informal creating a very relaxed atmosphere.



New Beginnings – This theme is all about starting out, growth and possibly even fertility. So it is understandably an ever-popular style for weddings all year round. Here the theme is less about using specific flower types and more about signalling youth and growth. For instance, pale green foliage suggests new shoots, while unopened buds suggest potential and new life, as in this mixed flower bouquet. Smaller blooms in paler colours also give a sense of "more to come". A range of colours are possible within this theme: use single colours for a refined look, or mixed colours for a more relaxed look.



Exuberance – This is a style that is Ideal for a late spring wedding when summer is nearly here. The feel is bright, energetic and not too formal. This is achieved through the use of brighter, perhaps even vivid colours, larger blooms, and a mixture of colours and shapes, but still with plenty of greenery. An Easter wedding can use this theme to great effect, making use of plenty of bright yellow flowers for a thoroughly cheerful and optimistic atmosphere.

In this gateway garland a mixture of bright and pale shades are mixed, along with several flower types, giving an impression that these flowers have been gathered from the surrounding countryside to create this impressive but informal display. The long stemmed flowers have been purposefully arranged in all directions to give a sense of energy and profusion.
