The tradition of including posies at wedding ceremonies dates back centuries. In ancient Rome, wedding flowers were used to symbolize the start of a new chapter, fertility, and faithfulness. Today, many couples use flower arrangements to add a romantic ambiance to their ceremonies. If you plan to get married this spring, below are a few flowers to include in table centerpieces, bouquets, and boutonnieres.  

What Flowers Should You Use for a Spring Ceremony?

1. Peonies

With large, showy petals, peonies are perennials that can serve as the focal flower in a wedding bouquet. They mostly come in warmer shades, like yellow or maroon, but you can find white and lavender variants as well. This makes it possible to find a hue to complement the color scheme for your big day.

Dusty millers are often used as a filler in floral arrangements with peonies. The muted sage coloring of the large leaves will help balance the vibrancy of the peonies.

2. Roses

Roses are a symbol of romance, which is why they are used as wedding flowers at ceremonies year-round. Instead of traditional red, opt for lighter varieties for spring weddings. For example, pink posies symbolize elegance and happiness. Lavender roses are associated with love at first sight, and white symbolizes a new start. Choose a color that best suits your relationship.

3. Chrysanthemums

Due to their multiple layers of slender petals, chrysanthemums resemble large powder puffs with ruffles. In addition to white, the flower is available in shades of yellow, orange, red, and purple. Chrysanthemums pair nicely with carnations and other voluminous flowers for a more dramatic display.
