Spring Blooms & Bouquet Recipes: Floral Design Inspiration for Weddings

Yellow flowers with lemons in a jar centerpiece on a wooden slice

Who does not love fresh flowers? Especially when farmers' markets are in full swing and there are flowers blooming everywhere. In honor of all this spring time goodness we'd like to present Limelight Floral Design. She is not only sharing a few bouquet recipes with us, but she is also sharing some steal worthy spring time arrangements that can be used for your wedding centerpieces or at the dinner table. Hip hip hooray for all the prettiness! Beautifully photographed by Kirill Bordon Photography.
To start it off we have a gorgeous assemblage of yellow ranunculus above to brighten up you day. Try zesting up your arrangement by adding a few fresh lemon slices into the glass vase with them. How refreshing and lovely. Next we have a peony and fringed tulip bouquet with berries. Love it!

Assortment of colorful flowers including peonies and tulips

From Limelight Floral Design:"I created the pink and purple toned bouquet in a posy style, bound the stems with satin ribbon and finished with pearl pins. A mix of blue eryngium thistles, green viburnum, pink peonies, blue hyacinth, fringed tulips and purple mokara orchids made for a bouquet full of texture and interest.

The budget for such a bouquet would vary widely depending on the season. If a bride is on a strict floral budget, it is best that she ask her florist to create something beautiful in her colors using local, in season flowers. Peonies, for example, can range in price from a few dollars a stem for local, in season blooms and up to twelve dollars per stem if they are not in season and need to be imported. It is not uncommon for Brides to choose their wedding dates based on the availability of their favorite flowers! We are always happy to work with our brides to help them choose colors and blooms that reflect their personal style."

Just because we loved these fun and funky bouquets by Limelight Floral Design so much we thought we'd share a few more steal worthy arrangement ideas that are a little alternative, but lots of fun!
Keeping with the edible elements theme, this fun little arrangement brings a punch of orange all the way through the piece with the use of bright orange carrots! You just "carrot" say no to that!

Can you image how fresh and exciting your table would look with this apple, lime, and peony floral masterpiece in the center of it?! So pretty we are tempted to stick a straw in it and drink it up! ... but we wouldn't recommend that.
And finally, as an office we all love the simple elegance of orchids so of course we fell for this stately white orchid centerpiece. This beautiful potted plant will instantly make your event feel chic and sophisticated!
