Fancy Fruits
Traditional arrangements are instantly elevated upon adding fruit and berries to the mix, especially equally seasonal ones. Consider what fruit (or even vegetables) could do for your color palette when they're added to your color assortment. This palette of lilac, lavender, violet and greenery got a boost of buttermilk, tan, putty, ivory, sage and indigo thanks to the addition of unripe pomegranates and concord grapes.

Vibrant-Toned Blooms
Spring is the time to go bold and bright is pastels aren't your thing. Think colorful collections of stems combining pink, coral, orange, ivory, and leafy greens—or choose another palette that feels more evocative of your personality, like a spectrum of cooler toned blues paired with oranges, yellows, and lavenders.

Dark Romance
Don't let the seasons indicate which colors you can or can't play with. Rich hues like oxblood paired with ivory, nudes, gold, and an unexpected hit of turquoise seem to seamlessly transition between seasons, and feel adventurous for an affair in warmer weather.

Orchids, Only
When Christy Baird wed at the The Frederick Loewe Estate in Palm Springs, she opted for a simple, modern clutch of spring-available orchids to carry down the aisle—and it was super chic. This bloom comes in so many shapes, sizes, and specimens. We suggest you use them all for depth, dimension, and a look that's more dynamic.

Yellow Buds
Group yellow, ochre, and butter-colored blooms with lemon leaf, and other greenery for a decadent decor option that pairs well with natural, all-white porcelain, or chinoiserie tabletop.

Lush Lavender
Don't shy away from the most polarizing shade in the rainbow. Lighter shades of lilac and lavender made waves on last spring's runways—and there's no reason you shouldn't embrace the it-shade for your wedding day, be it in a monochromatic way, or as a pop of color in your palette.

Citrus Centerpieces
Adding in citrus fruit any time of year can add just the right amount of texture and color to an already beautiful bouquet or centerpiece, but when paired with pinks, corals, and light yellows, it feels apropos for warmer weather.

Dried Flowers
When BAZAAR Bride and celebrity hair stylist, Justine Marjan, wed in an elopement in Santa Barbara, she requested a clutch of dried stems. Paired with her tawny bridal suit by Michael Costello and a wide-brimmed hat, it was a modern take on '70s style, and undeniably chic.

Minimal Mix
Pair lengthy waxflower vines with peonies and other stand alone stems for a springtime mix that is minimal and unique. Gestural branches pack a punch when it comes to scale and shape, without the flowers feeling too full, lush, or over the top.

Capri Cool
Bright punches of color transport your guests to a place as stylish as the Amalfi Coast, the French Riviera, and beyond. Rather than a subtle pastel or an array of neutrals, pack a punch with tones that are quirky, vibrant, and eclectic.
