Our Favorite Wedding Flower Ideas for Spring
The warming weather, longer days, and the abundance of beautiful blooms make spring a popular season to say, 'I do.' If you're planning a spring wedding, you'll want flowers that showcase that love is in the air. That's why we're spotlighting three of our favorite spring wedding flower ideas here at The Barn at Belle Hills—tulips, peonies, and lilacs—and sharing creative ways to incorporate them into your big day.
Tulips: simple, elegant, and sturdy aisle markers
Tulips might be one of the most iconic spring flowers and for good reason. Their soft, curved petals bring charm to any wedding arrangement. Available in just about every color—from classic whites and pastels to bold, statement-making hues—tulips will match any theme, whether you're going for delicate romance or modern minimalism. You'll also be happy to know that tulips are one of the most budget-friendly spring blooms.
These are the perfect flowers to line the aisle because their sturdy stems allow them to stand in bundled aisle markers. Darwin hybrids and Triumph tulips are especially strong. Their uniform height and clean, structured shape create a polished, symmetrical look that naturally draws the eye down the aisle—elegant and intentional without feeling overgrown or overwhelming.
Peonies: romantic, Lush, and delicious on cakes
Peonies are the undisputed queens of spring weddings. They feature gorgeous ruffled and layered petals, and their fragrance—reminiscent of roses with a hint of honey—adds a touch of luxury to weddings. Peonies make a statement all on their own but also blend beautifully with roses, ranunculus, and greenery in bouquets and centerpieces.
Did you know that peonies are edible? They are often described as having a flavor profile combining strawberries and peaches with a hint of pepper. Tuck a few peony petals onto your wedding cake for a soft, romantic floral touch that looks almost too pretty to eat for a beautiful symbol of prosperity, romance, and a happy marriage.
Lilacs: fragrant, whimsical, and beautiful to walk under
If you'd like a flower that brings both beauty and fragrance, lilacs are the way to go. These delicate, clustered blooms have a jasmine-like scent that adds romance beyond the visuals to your wedding atmosphere. Their soft purple, lavender, and white hues bring a delicate color palette to arrangements and bouquets. Adding eucalyptus complements their pastels with a delightful silvery contrast. Lilacs make a breathtaking storybook-like floral archway to your ceremony. Plus, they symbolize new beginnings, so walking under them before saying your vows is like stepping through a doorway into your future.
