Spring Wedding Flower Tips from The Velvet Garden

While Spring is almost gone, we couldn’t let the season end without recapping some of our very favorite Spring blooms!  We asked Kimm of The Velvet Garden to pull some of her most requested flowers for spring weddings and she decided on these six: Lavender Lilac, Pink Fringe Tulip, Coral Ranunculus, Lavender Clematis, and Deep Purple Sweet Pea.  All are soft and romantic, the perfect pastel colors for a spring soiree.  Before pulling them altogether for a drop-dead gorgeous bridal bouquet, she gave us the run down on each flower.  Some come in multiple colors, others grow on vines, and one is only available for a single month!   Read on to get some little known facts from a floral expert on your favorite blooms!

Lavender Lilac: This is an unusual color that is only available in the springtime. The more traditional color of lilac is a deeper purple!

Blush Peony: Everyone’s favorite flower! This powder pink color is one of the first of the spring season. (Insider tip: Trader Joe’s carries some inexpensive varieties from white to blush to a fun coral this time of year!)
