The Joy of Spring Flowers: A Florist’s Perspective

As the chill of winter melts away and the world awakens in a riot of color, we florists step into one of the most magical seasons of the year—spring. The arrival of delicate blossoms, intoxicating fragrances, and vibrant hues fills our studio with inspiration. At The Well Behaved Tulip, we believe spring flowers capture the very essence of renewal, beauty, and celebration.

The Stars of Spring

Spring brings a bounty of blooms, each with its own personality and charm. Here are a few of our favorites that make this season truly special:

Tulips – The Quintessential Spring Flower

Tulips are a florist’s dream—elegant, versatile, and available in nearly every color imaginable. From soft pastels to bold, dramatic hues, tulips can be playful in a hand-tied bouquet or refined in a sophisticated arrangement. We especially love pairing them with lush greenery and delicate filler flowers for a fresh, garden-inspired look.

Peonies – The Showstoppers & Season Finaly

If tulips are the stars, peonies are the divas. Their lush, ruffled petals and intoxicating scent make them one of the most sought-after flowers of the late spring season. Whether in bridal bouquets or romantic centerpieces, peonies add a sense of luxury and opulence that is hard to match.

Ranunculus – The Delicate Beauties

These charming flowers resemble miniature peonies, with layers of paper-thin petals that create a soft, dreamy effect. Available in shades from buttery yellows to deep burgundies, ranunculus add a whimsical, almost ethereal quality to arrangements.

Hyacinths – The Fragrant Favorite

If you want your home or event to smell like spring, hyacinths are the way to go. Their rich, heady scent fills any space with a sense of warmth and happiness. We love using them in compact, European-style arrangements or tucked into larger bouquets for an unexpected burst of fragrance.

Daffodils – The Cheerful Messengers of Spring

Daffodils are synonymous with spring, symbolizing new beginnings and joy. Their bright yellow and white blooms are perfect for bringing a touch of sunshine indoors. A simple bunch of daffodils in a vase can transform any room into a welcoming, springtime retreat.

Designing with Spring Flowers

Spring arrangements are all about embracing softness, movement, and nature’s effortless beauty. Here at The Well Behaved Tulip, we love creating loose, organic compositions that showcase the natural grace of these blooms. Think wildflower-inspired bouquets, cascading centerpieces, and delicate posies wrapped in our signature black and white paper and silk ribbon.

Pairing spring flowers with complementary textures—such as wispy ferns, flowering branches, or delicate vines—adds depth and dimension. And, of course, keeping things fresh and seasonal is key.

Bringing Spring into Your Home

One of the simplest ways to embrace spring is by incorporating fresh flowers into your home. A vase of tulips on your dining table, a small bunch of ranunculus by your bedside, or a fragrant arrangement of hyacinths in the entryway can instantly brighten your space and lift your mood.

To keep your spring flowers looking fresh:
? Trim the stems at an angle before placing them in water.
? Change the water every two days to prevent bacteria buildup.
❄️ Keep arrangements away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
