Flowers have the ability to completely transform a wedding venue. They add both color and texture to the space, and can tie the wedding aesthetic together. Depending on what time of the year they are getting married, couples have the task of finding flower options that are both in-season and fit with their color scheme and theme. Luckily, each season offers an abundance of beautiful flowers to choose from – and there are some great all-year flowers to check out, as well.
Spring
If you are throwing a spring wedding, you might have a hard time narrowing down your flower choices! Lots of flowers are in bloom during this time, so you’ll have your pick when it comes to creating your spring wedding floral arrangements. You’ll have your choice of beautiful pastels, and there are also a few bold pops of color as well. When it comes to springtime weddings, you can really play with different options that might work with your wedding style and color theme. Some popular spring wedding flowers include:
- Peonies
- Tulips
- Lilacs

Many spring flowers are known for their fragrances. While you are picking out your flowers, keep this in mind – if you are sensitive to scents, you might want to avoid certain flowers. You also will want to avoid using heavily scented flowers for the centerpieces on tables where guests will be dining.
Summer
Summer is traditionally the most popular time to get married, and luckily for couples hosting a summertime wedding, there are plenty of gorgeous floral options to choose from.
