Nothing quite says Spring like warmer weather, pastels and fresh flora. With some of the prettiest petals in bloom during springtime, there’s plenty of possibilities to dream up when planning your Spring wedding bouquet.
From classic round arrangements and romantic cascades through to colourful compilations and refined structures, your bouquet is a focal element of your wedding day and one to be carefully considered.

What are the popular Spring wedding colour palettes?
There have been a lot of neutral palettes coming through, particularly a white, blush, and nude combination being very popular lately. I am loving to see some spicy hints of blood orange being added to this palette for a soft but sexy look.

What is your favourite part about doing weddings in the Spring?
Weddings come to life in Spring. The very best flowers are on offer, outdoor venues are almost always beautiful and green, flowering trees around the venues smell amazing and add to the complete sensory experience. The weather is also so much more forgiving when working with cut flowers, compared to summer.
What are your predictions for wedding bouquet trends for 2022?
I think couples will get a little more adventurous with colour and we might start to see more bold colour contrasts, like bright red with pastel blue. I also predict that greenery in bouquets is on its way out for 2022.
