Spring Wedding Flowers:
What’s In Season for Your Wedding Day?
When planning your Spring wedding, one of the most exciting (and sometimes overwhelming) decisions is choosing your flowers. Brides often wonder: what’s actually in season, and how does that affect my wedding design? The truth is, while Spring brings so many beautiful blooms, it’s not just about a checklist of flowers - it’s about trusting your floral designer to guide you toward the best options for your vision, your venue, and the Texas weather.
As an Austin wedding florist, our role is to take your dream aesthetic and craft it into something that feels cohesive, timeless, and uniquely you - all while making sure the flowers we choose are realistic for your wedding day.
What Flowers Are in Season for Spring Weddings?
Spring is one of the most flower-rich times of year, and it’s full of stunning options for bouquets, centerpieces, and large-scale installations. Depending on the month of your wedding, here are some favorites that work beautifully in Austin and across Central Texas:
Sweet peas (early spring) - delicate and romantic, perfect for bouquets
Ranunculus - a favorite for their ruffled, whimsical look
Tulips - especially popular for bridesmaid bouquets
Butterfly ranunculus - airy, modern, and trending in wedding design
Garden roses - timeless, lush, and available most of the year
Stock - fragrant and lovely for fuller arrangements
Lisianthus - versatile and elegant
Peonies (late spring) - always highly requested for their dreamy petals
Dahlias (late spring) - bold and textural
Calla lilies - sleek, modern, and classic
Spirea - highly seasonal but gorgeous when available
Are There Trending Spring Wedding Flowers?
Yes! Every year, we see certain blooms capture the hearts of brides. Lately, amaranthus for draping designs, tulips (especially in mono-botanical bridesmaid bouquets), calla lilies for their sleek and clean look, and peonies continue to be must-haves. These flowers are perfect for couples who want a romantic-yet-fresh aesthetic.
That said, what’s trending might not always be practical - especially for Texas weddings where the climate can be extreme. Your florist’s expertise is key in balancing what’s on-trend with what will actually hold up beautifully throughout your celebration!
Many couples assume that “Spring” is one universal season, but in Texas, the months of March and May look very different. March brings cooler weather, while May can be hot and humid - which means some flowers thrive in one month but struggle in another.
One misconception is that local wildflowers can simply be picked from the side of the road. In reality, most florals for weddings in the U.S. are imported, which means if your heart is set on a particular bloom, odds are someone is growing it somewhere. But again - it’s about using a professional florist who knows what will actually look gorgeous and what will last on your wedding day.
Another common misunderstanding is that everything is automatically “in bloom” all season long. In reality, some of the most requested flowers - like peonies and dahlias - only appear toward late Spring, while early months are better for sweet peas, tulips, or ranunculus. Thinking of Spring as one big floral window can set couples up for disappointment, when the truth is that availability shifts quickly from March to May.
What Are Common Misconceptions About Spring Wedding Flowers?
How Do I Choose the Right Flowers for My Wedding?
Here’s the secret: you don’t have to. That’s your florist’s job. 🫶
Instead of handing over a long list of highly specific blooms, focus on choosing the color palette, vibe, and overall aesthetic that excites you! A few requests are perfectly fine, but things can get tricky when couples come in with rigid checklists or images they have seen that were created with AI that simply don’t translate in real life.
For example, we’ve had couples ask for ranunculus in large hanging installations. While ranunculus are gorgeous, they’re a small, delicate flower that just doesn’t work at that scale - and trying to force it only leads to disappointment. Similarly, some flowers aren’t hardy enough to last through Texas weather, which is why we guide you toward blooms that are both beautiful and practical.
When you trust your florist, you can let go of the stress of figuring out what’s “possible” or “in season.” Our job is to take your inspiration, venue, and overall design into account, and then select the flowers that will not only look stunning but also thrive on your wedding day. The result? A design that feels effortless, cohesive, and uniquely yours.
Why Hire a Professional Austin Wedding Florist?
When it comes down to it, flowers are more than just pretty details - they set the tone for your wedding day. Hiring an experienced florist ensures:
Your vision is translated into a cohesive design
The flowers chosen will actually thrive in the season and venue
Stress-free planning, knowing a professional is handling every detail

The most important part? Trust. When you hire a florist whose style you love and whose work you’ve seen proven time and again, you can feel confident letting them take the lead.
Here’s what one of our Spring brides had to say about their recent experience working with us:
“Wild Bunches Floral is incredible! My bouquet was everything and more! They made my vision of a dreamy spring wedding come to life with their floral creations! The florals on the trellis were the perfect touch for our outdoor ceremony. I loved my bouquet so much I am in the process of having it preserved. Wild Bunches also added greenery to the chandeliers at our venue that tied the space together so well. I highly recommend Wild Bunches!”
