Spring: Airy & Romantic
For spring weddings, we recommend soft powder blues, ivory, creamy whites, and pale green accents. Fresh blooms we love include tulips, delphinium, sweet peas, muscari, ranunculus, anemones, and white lilacs, which all help create a romantic and soft look perfect for any luxury wedding.
Pair these blooms with delicate bud vases or clustered centerpiece bowls for a garden-party feel. If you’re looking for a jaw-dropping bridal bouquet, we suggest a cascading bouquet with trailing sweet pea and greenery. Interested in a more whimsical feel? Go for a ceremony arbor with layers of climbing delphinium and spring vines.
Bonus Tip: Incorporate light blue silk ribbons on your bouquet for that extra soft, romantic touch.
Summer: Fresh & Full
Summer weddings in this color palette look best in sky blue, bright white, and soft silver-green foliage. There are so many great flowers to choose from during the summer to give a fresh and full look. Our favorites include blue hydrangeas (swoon!), white cosmos, tweedia, scabiosa, lisianthus, queen anne’s lace, and of course, garden roses.
To create a lush, overflowing look, we suggest centerpieces in compote vases and statement installations over your sweetheart or king’s table. Blue-toned taper candles also add depth and drama to your tablescape.
Bonus Tip: Tweedia is a dainty, true blue flower that’s a favorite in summer bouquets—it adds the perfect pop!
Fall: Moody & Unexpected
Cooler fall temps call for a color palette of dusty blues, creamy whites, and muted neutrals. White dahlias, brunia berries, white zinnias, and blue thistle are perfect choices for this color palette. Add in cappuccino roses for a moody contrast and autumn-toned foliage for depth, and you’ll have a show-stopping look.
For a fresh, fall twist, blue and white pair lovely with taupe or mauve linens. Opt for a ceremony installation with moody textures by mixing dahlias with textural greens and dried elements. Imagine a hand-tied bridal bouquet filled with dahlias, thistle, zinnias and wrapped with flowy navy ribbon? Say less.
Bonus Tip: Mix in dried elements or bleached greens to give your arrangements a slightly wild, late-season edge.
Winter: Crisp & Sophisticated
Winter weddings in this color palette call for Icy blues, snow whites, and hints of silver or navy. To give a dreamy yet sophisticated look, we love florals such as white amaryllis, anemones with dark centers, blue-grey eucalyptus, white roses, hellebores, and dusty miller for greenery.
All-white floral tablescapes look stunning with icy blue candles and glass chargers. Touches of blue velvet add a luxurious vibe and can be used to tie bouquets or even as napkins. To create a romantic glow, opt for grounded aisle meadows in soft snow-toned blooms with floating candles.
Bonus Tip: Anemones and hellebores are beautiful cold-weather blooms with plenty of personality—perfect for winter elegance.
