Utah Spring Wedding Flowers
Spring in Utah is an especially magical season. The wildflowers are in bloom, bringing the mountains to life, and the glow of the spring sun is unlike any other season. It’s also a beautiful time to plan your wedding using fresh, locally grown Utah spring wedding flowers. Below, we’ll be discussing the advantages of selecting Utah spring wedding flowers, popular blooms you can expect to work with for your wedding, and our top tips for bringing your wedding day vision to life with florals.
Why Choose Flowers That Are in Season
Your Pinterest board might be overflowing with ideas and inspiration for floral arrangements that include an array of roses or delicate orchids. But if you plan on getting married in the spring, you’ll find that specific varieties of those flowers may have to be flown in or imported for your wedding. In essence, driving up the total of your floral budget. Selecting flowers that are in full bloom during the season of your wedding is far more cost-effective.
Additionally, when you select blooms that are widely available, they will last far longer than anything that has been cut, packed and placed on a plane or long-haul truck for delivery.
The last thing to consider about working with Utah Spring wedding flowers is the overall abundance of flowers that will be available to you. Your budget will go farther in creating lush arches, arrangements for your ceremony, displays at your reception, or even overhead installations, with a larger number of stems.
Popular Flowers in Season During Spring in Utah
- Peonies
- Roses (early bloom varieties)
- Ranunculus
- Tulips
- Sweet Peas
- Daffodils
- Anemones
- Dahlias
- Greenery (Eucalyptus, Fern, and Italian Ruscus)
Each of these blooms (with the exception of greenery) is available in a variety of soft, yet colorful tones to add a dash of whimsy to any wedding. They all evoke the delicate romance that spring brings to our door, each year after the last of the winter frost has melted away.
How to Incorporate Seasonal Florals Into Your Wedding Day
Selecting the color palette and overall vision for your wedding day should come first. From there, you can bring your overarching themes to your Salt Lake City wedding florist, and we can help you decide which flowers may work best for each of your arrangements, bouquets, boutonnieres, and your arch.
Suggestions & Recommendations
However, if you are intent on selecting florals in season, it’s important to remember to be open to suggestions. As experienced wedding florists, we can easily curate the wedding day of your dreams. But sometimes that means allowing room for suggestions on flowers or techniques that you may not have previously considered.
Popular Floral Arrangements for a Spring Wedding
- Ceremony aisle (these can later be moved to your reception)
- Wedding arch (round, full, or deconstructed)
- Bouquets, flowers, and flower crowns
- Table arrangements (welcome table, bar, guests' seating at reception)
- Installations (overhead, either suspended or delicately laced through a venue fixture such as a chandelier)
- Venue enhancements (if your venue has a fireplace, stairway, or other focal point)
- Bud vases (to accent the larger-sized arrangements or to be used in breakout spaces like your cocktail hour or lounge)
The last tip we can give you about Utah spring wedding flowers is to find and book your florist as early as you can. Spring is the height of wedding season in Utah. It is entirely possible that you may find a florist whose work you have absolutely fallen in love with, and they will be fully booked. Once your wedding date is secured with your temple or venue, don’t hesitate to reach out and inquire.
