Poppies
A classic and popular for our early spring time weddings that love whimsical and dainty flowers. Though delicate poppies make beautiful statement florals in any design and come in a range of colors, though our personal favorite is the peach. Many of shocked at how they arrive to our studio, each stem is wrapped in "pods" that you gently have to take off and we pray we don't rip any petals during the process! Though a tedious process, it's worth it to see these beauties continue to open throughout the design process.
Bell's of Ireland
We love Bell's of Ireland and work with it often (and not just because of the name!). These tall and skinny florals are perfect for our couples looking for a natural white and green look for their big day. They offer the shade of green that can be difficult to acquire without using greenery. Their unique vertical shape and bright green color make them great for adding texture, structure, and contrast to bouquets, centerpieces, and large statement pieces. These stems are also in the mint family and smell heavenly!
Lilac
Lilacs are a popular choice for weddings and are known for their soft, romantic blooms in shades of purple, lavender, and white. These branchy stems add a touch of elegance and nostalgia to any wedding setting. Their sweet, floral scent is often associated with love and happiness, making them the perfect addition to a celebration of commitment and joy. Lilacs’ versatility allows them to fit into a variety of wedding themes, from vintage and rustic to modern and sophisticated.
Snapdragons
Snapdragons are a popular wedding flower due to their unique, vertical shape and vibrant color range, making them a striking addition to any floral arrangement. Their tall, "spiky" stems and clusters of blooms in hues such as soft pastels, bold reds, and delicate whites add texture and height to bouquets and centerpieces, creating a sense of elegance and visual interest.

Their gentle, flowing petals and subtle fragrance make them an ideal choice for creating soft, airy bouquets and centerpieces that evoke a sense of tranquility and natural beauty.
Bridal Veil Spirea
Bridal veil spirea is a wonderful white filler for brides who want something romantic and garden style. Often containing some green leaves throughout their branchy stems, these beauties look like they were just picked the morning of the wedding. Because of its long, flexible stems, bridal veil spirea can add beautiful movement and texture to an arrangement. We often let portions of the stems trail slightly beyond the bouquet, creating a soft, cascading effect that feels both elegant and relaxed. This natural drape makes it especially lovely in bridal bouquets, where it can frame focal flowers while adding dimension and a touch of drama without feeling too structured.
We love each and every spring time bloom but these are special to us and our couples. The best part about each of these, they are available and grown by our local farmers! Have an upcoming spring wedding, reach out to us, we would love to flower your big day!
