When you are planning to have spring flowers at your wedding, you can choose between purchasing real flowers or silk flowers. Silk flowers are always available and you do not need to worry about availability, but real flowers will give you a feeling of freshness and liveliness that goes with spring. If you want to order real spring flowers, make sure that you do it well in advance. Tulips, lilacs, orchids and hyacinth are all excellent choices for spring flowers.

Wedding Favors

Warnings

Lilac is a very popular spring wedding flower, but it is in season for a very short amount of time. Make sure that lilacs will be available for your wedding day, and when you get them, keep them in water at all times. Lilacs will start to wilt after a single day.
