Anthony’s Ocean View’s Guide to Seasonal Spring Wedding Flowers

If you are planning a spring wedding with us, choosing seasonal blooms not only ensures the freshest scents and colors but also pays homage to the natural beauty of the Connecticut shoreline. 

Here are our top 10 seasonal flower recommendations for your spring celebration:

1. Peonies

The undisputed queen of spring weddings. With their lush, rounded blooms and incredible fragrance, peonies embody the “labor of love” we put into every event. They are available in white, cream, and coral, perfect for a romantic beachside ceremony.

2. Tulips

Nothing says spring quite like a tulip. From classic shapes to fringed varieties, these flowers offer a clean, refined look that mirrors the elegance of your wedding day.

3. Hydrangeas

A coastal staple. Hydrangeas thrive in Connecticut’s climate and provide abundant blooms for centerpieces. Their soft blues and whites perfectly complement the ocean views from our private beaches.

4. Sweet Peas

These soft, ruffled flowers are known for their sweet scent. They add a whimsical, “just-picked” feel to bridal bouquets, bringing a touch of the Italian countryside too.

5. Ranunculus

Often called the “rose of the spring,” ranunculus features tightly layered petals that look exquisite in boutonnieres and bouquets alike. They are hardy and come in almost every color imaginable.

6. Lilacs

For a truly sensory experience, lilacs are unmatched. Their deep purples and pale lavenders provide a wonderful contrast against the white sands.

7. Lily of the Valley

A timeless choice for the classic bride. These tiny, bell-shaped flowers are a beautiful sentiment for a couple starting their life together.

8. Anemones

If you’re looking for a modern touch, white anemones with dark navy centers offer a memorable, nautical theme that pairs beautifully with our seaside setting.

9. Daffodils

Symbolizing new beginnings, daffodils are a bright and cheerful addition to a casual spring wedding. They bring a pop of sunshine to your décor, regardless of the weather.

10. Garden Roses

While roses are available year-round, spring garden roses are particularly lush. They offer the high petal count of a peony with the classic durability of a rose, ensuring your arrangements stay vibrant.
