Spring Wedding Flowers We Love in Chicago
One of our favorite ways to design more sustainably is by using flowers that are naturally in season here in the Midwest. Seasonal blooms not only feel fresher and more vibrant, but they also help reduce the environmental impact that comes with importing flowers from far away.
And honestly? There’s something so special about florals that truly reflect the season your wedding is happening in.
If you’re planning a spring wedding in Chicago, here are some beautiful local flower options we love designing with.
Spring Wedding Flowers
Daffodils
One of the very first signs of spring. Daffodils bring cheerful color and a playful, garden-inspired feel to early spring weddings.
Tulips
A timeless spring favorite. Tulips feel elegant, fresh, and effortlessly romantic in both modern and classic designs. Pro tip - use double tulips! They are an amazing variety that look like a tulip & a peony had a beautiful baby!
Ranunculus
Known for their soft, layered petals, ranunculus add texture and romance to bouquets and centerpieces.
Lily of the Valley
Delicate, fragrant, and incredibly seasonal. These tiny blooms have a short bloom window that makes them feel especially special.
Anemones
Loved for their striking dark centers, anemones add contrast and a slightly modern touch to spring florals.
Hyacinth
Beautifully fragrant with clustered blooms that add texture and softness to arrangements.
Lilac
One of the most nostalgic spring flowers. Lilac brings airy movement and an unmistakable springtime fragrance.
Early Summer Wedding Flowers
Peonies
A wedding favorite for good reason. Peonies are lush, romantic, and perfect for late spring and early summer weddings.
Delphinium
Tall and whimsical, delphinium adds beautiful movement and a garden-inspired feel to floral designs.
Sweet Pea
Soft, delicate, and lightly fragrant. Sweet pea adds an airy, romantic texture to bouquets.
Lisianthus
A versatile bloom with soft petals that blend beautifully into almost any floral style.
Snapdragons
Great for adding height, texture, and fullness to ceremony flowers and centerpieces.
Garden Roses
Romantic and timeless with a softer, more natural feel than traditional roses. A staple in many luxury wedding designs.
