May wedding flowers: Inspiration for a beautiful Spring wedding


Are you dreaming of lush, romantic May wedding flowers but struggling to picture what will actually be in season? As a floral designer, I get it - imagining those vibrant spring arrangements with little flower knowledge or a reference point can leave you feeling a bit stuck, but I promise you are in for a treat. I absolutely adore what nature has to offer for May wedding flowers.


Let me show you two of my favorite pastime May weddings.


The florals I created for these two events were completely contrasting in aesthetic, yet both showcase the beauty and varieties that can be achieved for your spring Wedding.



This time of year can seem equal parts exciting and daunting, and when it comes to choosing the perfect May wedding flowers, it might seem like the Season is just getting going but trust me, there is so much available.


Wether you are aiming for colourful wedding flowers or would prefer to keep the tone more neutral, there are plenty of options for you.

Taller blooms such as alliums and delphiniums are great for creating height and three dimension.

Elegant footed bowls are a perfect low level table centerpiece vessel and are pictured above alongside tonal tapered dinner candles.
