Spring symbolizes new beginnings, and as you and your partner begin your new journey into a life together, it’s a wonderful season to take advantage of both aesthetically and emblematically. Spring also provides a wonderful opportunity to utilize the beautiful bounty of flowers blossoming.

Mono-floral arrangements are a great way to emphasize your favorite flowers and to create a special centerpiece. Whether you want to go all out with your arrangement or keep it simple, mono-floral centerpieces have become increasingly celebrated for their versatility. By mixing greenery with your choice flower, you can create the ideal statement piece. Using one type of flower also doesn’t confine you to one color, as seen photographed above, you can integrate various shades as available depending on the flower you choose.
Pink is the color of love, youth, romance, arguably spring, and who doesn’t love it? Whether you’ve selected pink to be one of your wedding colors or not, it’s a great addition and complement to many spring floral spreads. As it’s already associated heavily with both the season and wedding culture as a whole, our team is experienced in organizing a variety of pink floral arrangements. Deciding to include pink in your spring centerpieces opens a plethora of opportunities for what flowers are included. Found in roses, peonies, dahlias, begonias, hydrangeas, chrysanthemums, the list goes on for pink flowers you can integrate in your spring wedding centerpiece.

Pastels really characterize the color palette of the spring season, with lighter shades across the rainbow being called to action. Brighter and warmer shades come to life in yellow daffodils, tulips, and buttercups. A beautiful and natural white can be found in babies breath and lily of the valley, which make great additions to your table décor regardless of the scheme. Even cooler shades of blue, green, and purple can be utilized in your centerpieces while maintaining the appeal of the season. Between various shades that tulips, roses, and peonies offer, it’s hard to find a flower whose colors aren't associated with spring.
Classical designs are very common when it comes to floral arrangements, especially in the foothills of the Smokies. Many of our clients have decided to dive into the simple southern elements that naturally resonate at our venue, and because of this, we have seen our fair share of classic and traditional designs. A large factor in what shapes the classical and rustic centerpiece is what contains your flowers. Whether that’s some cream colored roses or hydrangeas sticking out of a mason jar,pink peonies and lily of the valley set in a silver vase, or simple daffodils extending from a glass bottle, our team is gratified in helping you learn more about what a classical arrangement would entail.
Minimalistic centerpieces are a common choice for spring brides, but this doesn’t necessarily mean sparing color and limited space for these arrangements. The simplistic appeal of the minimalist style can be practical in terms of opening up the space more for your guests, creating the image of a cleaner table setting. Minimalistic styles also allow for centerpiece arrangements to be more intentional and impactful. This lets more attention to be focused on the natural beauty of chosen flowers. After all, isn’t it quality over quantity?
Planning the decorations and centerpieces for your wedding reception can be overwhelming at any point in the year, though it may seem especially intimidating in the spring season because of the sheer variety of options. These centerpiece ideas are some of our personal favorites and can be incorporated in a variety of ways regardless of the season.
