The days are starting to get longer and brighter, the clouds are fewer, and the grass is greener, while Daffodils, Hyacinths, and a few early Tulips have begun to poke their heads out of the dirt, dotting lawns with color and brightening early gardens. Spring may not quite be here yet, but it’s undeniably on its way, and many of you will celebrate your own nuptials during this bright and festive season.

By the time the big day comes, your gardens will be full of inspiration, but many of the season’s brightest blooms haven’t appeared yet. It can be hard to plan ahead if you don’t know what’s coming, so I thought I’d share a few of my springtime favorites with you.

Peonies: If you’re getting married in May or June, consider yourself lucky; it’s Peony season. One of our most requested flowers, these extra-large ruffled blossoms are a favorite around the office as well.

French Tulips: Larger than standard tulips, these elegant blooms are available for only a few months each year. Their pure colors and large blossoms are bright enough to attract attention, modest enough not to distract from the bride.

Parrot Tulips: These unusual ruffled Tulips are available in a several bright shades, including a cool green. Their intricate irregular shapes are beautiful on their own, but they can also be paired with standard tulips, freesia, or classic Roses.
