Today, I have a special treat for you: I’m doing a show-and-tell with some of my favorite spring wedding flowers! I’ll show you 24 interesting shapes, sizes, and colors that are at the market in April.

Fritillaria, spirea, and ranunculus are a few highlights. Are you interested in more flower show-and-tells? Just comment below to let me know!

I'm also including a few images of these flowers’ forever home. Lindsey and Corey's wedding was such a color-filled delight! Images by Renee Saunders.

Here’s a quick rundown of some of our spring wedding flower favorites:

1. White majolica — easily transitions between blush and cream; opens beautifully, shows golden center

2. Combo rose — great golden color that melds with many palettes

3. Amnesia rose — lavender, dusty pink, and even green tones; works great with muted palettes

4. Champagne rose — low petal count, opens wide; pairs great with majolica and quicksand

5. Spirea — a greenery option with some sweet texture, white accents, and graceful gesture

6. Purple feather acacia — this tends to wilt on the ends, so keep in a good water source or trim ends; it has amazing color variance from silver to blue-green to purple

7. Blue muscari — if sourcing locally or from your garden, pull up instead of clipping to ensure the longest possible stem length

8. Japanese sweet pea — incredible color variation, sweet scent

9. Fritillaria — dramatic, feathery foliage and intriguing bell-shaped flower heads

10. Leucadendron — great substitute for magnolia, etc., thanks to the flower shape

11. Viburnum berries — beautiful texture with an almost iridescent sheen

12. Ranunculus — high-petal count beauties; come in standard and huge hybrid varieties

13. Antique carnation — respond well to reflexing for wide-open looks; great color variations

14. Anemone — wide-faced, low petal count stunner; available in winter as well

15. Japanese lisianthus — long-lasting frilly bloom with color complexity and hard-to-find shades

16. Tulip — gestural, bright-colored staple that can be reflexed for dramatically varying bloom shape

17. Passion vine — large-leafed, yellow-green colored vine option

18. Jasmine vine — small-leafed, dark-green colored vine option with tiny elongated white or pink buds depending on the seasonality

19. Olive branch — sturdy, silvery-green foliage that holds well

20. Foxglove — tall stalk with prolific bell-shaped blooms that adds textural intrigue and carries color throughout arrangements
