Celebrate the Season: Why Spring Weddings in Devon Are So Special


There’s something truly romantic about a Spring wedding in Devon. As the countryside awakens, blossom fills the hedgerows, and fresh greenery emerges, it sets the scene for a joyful, natural celebration. Spring is the season of renewal — the perfect time to begin your married life together.

Here at Bumble and Iris, we specialise in Devon wedding flowers using British-grown, seasonal blooms. We believe the most beautiful weddings reflect both the time of year and the landscape around them — and Spring is a dream for that.


Why Get Married in Spring?


If you're planning a wedding between March and May, here’s why Spring might be the perfect time to say "I do":


  • Devon is in bloom: With flowering trees, early wildflowers, and longer days, the landscape becomes a stunning backdrop.

  • Lighter evenings: The clocks change in March, giving you more natural light for your ceremony and photographs.

  • Fresh florals: Fragrant, delicate blooms are at their best — ideal for romantic, naturally styled arrangements.

  • More choice: Some venues and suppliers offer greater availability outside the peak summer season.


Seasonal Wedding Flowers in the UK: What’s in Bloom in Spring?


One of the most exciting things about a Spring wedding is the sheer variety of beautiful flowers that become available. We focus on seasonal wedding flowers grown here in the UK — which means lower carbon footprint and flowers that feel truly rooted in the season.


March & Early April

  • Narcissi (Daffodils): Soft whites and buttery yellows with a sweet scent.

  • Tulips: From elegant single stems to frilled or parrot varieties, in blush, burgundy, and everything in between.

  • Anemones: Striking with dark centres, ideal for modern or classic designs.

  • Ranunculus: With layers like a peony, but earlier in the season.

  • Blossom: Cherry, hawthorn, or quince branches add romantic movement.


Mid to Late April into May

  • Icelandic poppies: Dreamy pastel petals with a papery texture.

  • Bluebells: For woodland-inspired styling.

  • Lilac & Viburnum: Scented, full, and textural — perfect for larger arrangements.

  • Peonies: Arrive late May, bringing soft ruffles and luxury to any bouquet.

  • Sweet Rocket & Cow Parsley: For a relaxed, wildflower vibe.


We create seasonal flower wedding bouquets that celebrate what’s naturally available — no air miles, no forced blooms, just beautiful, fresh-from-the-field florals.

Spring Wedding Flower Ideas


Whether you’re planning a rustic barn celebration or a garden ceremony, here are some of our favourite ways to use Spring wedding flowers:


  • Soft, gathered bouquets in pastel tones — think peach, blush, ivory, and dusky lilac.

  • Meadow-style aisle flowers or ground arrangements that look like they’ve grown in place.

  • Ceremony arches or backdrops using blossom, foliage, and seasonal blooms for a fresh, organic look.

  • Table flowers in a mix of bud vases and low arrangements, perfect for barn weddings or long trestle tables.


Each floral design we create is tailored to your day, your venue, and your personality. As a Devon wedding florist, we know how to work with the unique beauty of the local landscape and seasonal availability to craft something truly special.

Final Tips for Spring Wedding Planning


  • Book your florist early: Especially if you want seasonal flowers and a bespoke service.

  • Be flexible with flower choices: Trust your florist to recommend the best of what’s blooming.

  • Consider scent: Spring flowers like narcissi, lilac, and stocks add a beautiful fragrance to your day.

  • Think about the weather: Spring can be unpredictable — so we’ll always plan arrangements that hold up beautifully in changing conditions.
