Whether you’re planning a spring-themed wedding or just want to add add vibrant pops of color to your day, tulips are the ideal bloom to create a custom look.

Adorn the lapels of your no-fuss fellas with simply stated tulip boutonnieres. Choose a bold bloom that matches the bridal palette, or add color with flowers that complement.

Use tulips as tablescapes to create a consistent look throughout your reception space. Buds can be cut short and placed in small antique vases or add drama with tall, elegant centerpieces.

5. Dots of Decor

Marry tulip blooms with an eclectic blend of mismatched vintage items to create vignette style stations of decor throughout your ceremony and reception spaces.

Turn centerpieces on their heads with tulips that hang from up above. This is a great option if you love the look and vibrancy of tulips but aren’t a fan of when their stems flop.

While fresh flowers make a beautiful arrangement atop any cake, try tulips made from frosting to satisfy your guests’ sweet tooth.
