Floral Mood Board
I am open to any readily available flowers for Spring, leaning into the soft shades. I see roses, peonies, lilac and hydrangea are usually available for spring, those are all beautiful options. The centerpieces below are more for size and shape instead of flowers. For right now, I do prefer the low arrangements, nothing on pedestals. More than likely, we will incorporate some candles, probably in votives. I always feel that would tip over. Once we book the venue, I’ll know table arrangements better.
For the bouquet, I love the look of hand-tied or round. The other floral we would need is an equivalent boutonniere and corsages for the mothers.
