Spring Tulips

Thank goodness for those April showers, because I love the May flowers! No flower makes you think of spring more than the tulip. Tulips are one of the world’s most popular flowers, with most being exported from Holland. They come in wide array of vibrant colors, like red, yellow, orange, purple, pink and many more. The variety of color, their beauty and their meaning of perfect love, make tulips a popular and perfect choice for weddings.



For this intimate spring wedding I created a mixed bouquet of yellow, orange and white tulips for the bride. While her attendants carried smaller bouquets of all white tulips that set off their tea-length orange gowns. A few vases of tulips at the ceremony and reception were all that was needed to top off a simple and elegant event. The bride, Lisa, was really on top of one of the year’s biggest trends, keeping it simple and chic! By picking one type of flower, she keep her costs down and added instant class and elegance to her big day. You can have the same look year round by picking one seasonal flower to work with, go monochromatic or mix up the color. Or use different shades of a single hue or several different flowers in the same color. Either way, keeping it simple will give you a timeless, sophisticated look.
