Tulips come in almost any color you can think of (except blue).
This centerpiece design and the bouquet below were created with a bright yellow early blooming tulip called Monte Carlo.
Another popular flower is ranunculus. These heavy petaled flowers are ideal for weddings from late February to early May. These beauties also come in a wide range of color. Here are some examples of bouquets and centerpiece designs that feature ranunculus:
This is such a stunning flower in white, but it looks great in bright colors such as yellow too.
The small centerpiece design below features both white and pink ranunculus, and a green centered pink ranunculus called Super Greens.
Other springtime flowers in the design below include Grape Hyacinths (Muscari) and Bluebells (Hyacinthoides), and green Viburnum.
The bouquet and centerpiece design below include pastel ranunculus, muscari, bluebells, and white leucojum.
For early springtime weddings hellebore and daffodils are a great choice. Hellebore come in muted plums, purples, soft pinks, and ivories. They start blooming in mid to late February through March. As the flower heads mature, they will turn antique shades of green and may persist through May.
The bouquet above features hellebore with blue muscari, and the bouquet below features hellebore with green button mum, pussy willow and blue hyacinths.
Daffodils or narcissus start blooming in the South in mid February and will continue through early April. One of the earliest is Ice Follies- a creamy white petaled flower with a bright yellow center. It is featured below along with yellow ranunculus, white hydrangea.
This next bouquet also is designed with Ice Follies and and Paperwhites.
One of the most beautiful daffodils is the large trumpet form of this King Alfred look alike.
Daffodils can have orange or pink centers, short or long trumpets, and many have a wonderful fragrance as well.
One of my favorites is a sweet smelling variety called Bridal Crown- it is blooming just in time for mid March weddings.
