5 Spring Centerpiece Ideas
Spring is a time of renewal and romance, making it the perfect season for a wedding. When planning the decorations for your springtime wedding, be sure to take advantage of all that the season has to offer. Here are five ideas for spring wedding centerpieces.
-
Planted bulbs. One of the first signs of spring is the beautiful bulbs that push through the earth, signalling the end of winter and the beginning of spring. For a fresh centerpiece that says, “Welcome Spring”, decorate your tables with low planters featuring bulbs such as hyacinth in a tidy row. Keep the containers fairly informal – a particularly nice look would be ones in a handpainted tin.

Peonies are one of the favorite flowers of spring. They are lush, romantic, and just achingly beautiful. They make a gorgeous spring centerpiece, as well. To really showcase their beauty, gather an abundance of peonies in a range of pinks for a fresh from the garden look. You may get them from the florist, but the idea is that it should look like you picked them that morning.
-
Lilacs are one of the most lovely and fragrant spring flowers. They are available in the signature lilac color (of course), but also pretty shades of pink and white. Lilacs would be gorgeous centerpieces when dripping from large footed garden urns. You could combine the lilacs with other flowing elements such as ivy. Because they do have a scent, you might find that lilacs are best used for outdoor receptions, so their aroma does not become too cloying.

Some brides love the look of more handcrafted and natural centerpieces. These are the brides who will choose the more hands-on look of handmade wedding jewelry over pieces that are mass produced. This type of bride will enjoy centerpieces that look less contrived. Instead of highlighting one or two elegant flowers, mix a variety of springtime blossoms with other natural elements, such as flowering branches.

One more great idea for spring centerpieces is to take inspiration from a classic spring gala: the Kentucky Derby. The signature of the Kentucky Derby is the mint julep, which is served in those wonderful little silver glasses. You can easily find versions of the silver glasses online, and they look fantastic filled with a few open flowers. Garden roses and peonies make especially nice choices.

Great ideas for centerpieces! I was thinking of just some simple flowers but I really liked the mint julep idea of the silver glasses. I’m a big silver fan so this actually matches me much better than just the flowers.
In addition to the bulb centerpieces, you could also put a single packaged bulb of the variety you have in the centerpiece on each place setting for the guests to take home and plant.
This is a really good idea to create your own centerpieces. I like heathcoles idea of having guests bring home the centerpieces to plant.
fresh flowers are desired and depending on the season, you can use fresh cut flowers from the garden like tulips, daisies, or carnations. Pastel colored, subtly crafted flowers vases, and bowls could add an exceptional appearance for the interior of hall.
I think that the idea of hand crafted jewelry is fabulous. What a wonderful idea.
Also, good advice about being aware of the scent of the flowers indoors. Especially used as a centerpiece, sometimes the aroma of the flowers can be overwhelming and unpleasant.
