Seasonal flowers for spring, autumn, and summer weddings: how to choose the perfect floral decorations

Flowers are one of the most important elements when planning your ideal wedding. They transform spaces, reflect emotions, and have the power to turn any corner into an unforgettable setting. Choosing the right ones is no accident; it depends on the time of year, the wedding style, the budget, and the atmosphere you wish to create.

We always recommend opting for seasonal flowers, as they are at their peak they also offer a superior quality, retain their beauty better throughout the celebration, and create a much more natural look.

Spring flowers: the most romantic season of the year

Spring is undoubtedly one of the favourite seasons for weddings. Mild temperatures, the wide variety of available flowers, and nature’s explosion of colour make the months of March, April, and May perfect for creating floral arrangements full of life and personality.

In addition to their beauty, spring flowers offer great versatility, adapting to everything from romantic weddings to rustic, Mediterranean, or elegant celebrations, as well as those with a more modern style.

Peonies: volume and romance

Peonies are one of the most sought-after flowers for brides. Their large petals and lush appearance make them the centrepiece of many bridal bouquets and floral arrangements. They symbolize prosperity, good fortune, and a happy marriage.

Available in various shades, they fit particularly well with romantic weddings or those featuring abundant floral décor, adding elegance, delicacy, and significant volume to every arrangement.

Ranunculus: small details full of elegance

Ranunculus are among the most popular flowers for bridal bouquets, thanks to their numerous, perfectly interlaced petals. Although they are reminiscent of peonies or roses, they possess a distinct character that adds an elegant and delicate touch.

Their wide variety of colours allows for the creation of highly personalized arrangements to suit any wedding style. For instance, mixing ranunculus and peonies creates a bouquet of ultimate opulence.

Lilacs: delicacy for rustic Weddings

Lilacs stand out for their natural beauty and distinctive fragrance. They convey youthful innocence and the first stirrings of love.

They are an ideal choice for couples seeking a wedding with a country or rustic feel, as they pair perfectly with greenery, wheat stalks, and other natural elements.

Their light and airy appearance adds freshness and movement to both bouquets and floral arrangements.

Daisies: simplicity but with great charm

Daisies are perfect for couples looking for a natural and laid-back style. They symbolize purity, innocence, and new beginnings.

They are a favourite choice for weddings held at country estates, in gardens, or in outdoor spaces, where they add a sense of freshness, cheer, and a distinctively rustic style. They also fit perfectly into Mediterranean-inspired weddings, thanks to their simple, luminous look.

Tulips: the essence of spring

Tulips express a perfect and sincere love. They are only available during this time of year, making them a very special choice for spring weddings.

Their slender shape makes them ideal for tall centrepieces and elegant arrangements.

One of the combinations often chosen is white tulips, baby's breath, and eucalyptus—a fresh, luminous, and highly sophisticated blend.

Roses: a classic that never fails

Roses remain one of the most popular choices for weddings. They come in a vast array of colours and can be adapted to any decorative style; red roses symbolize love, while white ones represent purity.

Although they often cost more than other flowers, their elegance makes them a sure bet for classic or sophisticated weddings, as well as for evening or nighttime celebrations, where they create a particularly romantic atmosphere.

Summer weddings: colour, volume, and personality.

In Spain, summer tends to be a time when fewer weddings take place due to high temperatures and tourism. Furthermore, the heat can affect the longevity of many flowers, making it important to choose varieties that better withstand these conditions.

Even so, months like June and September remain very popular choices for many couples at our hotel.

Hydrangeas

Hydrangeas are flowers that make a striking impression on those looking for a wedding rich in florals and colour.

They represent gratitude, abundance, and enduring beauty. Because they are so voluminous, they allow for the creation of grand floral arrangements.

Sunflowers

If you are looking for a cheerful, bright wedding with personality, sunflowers are a perfect choice.

Combined with white flowers and greenery, they create a fresh, natural look—ideal for outdoor weddings or those with a Mediterranean or rustic style.

Dahlias

Dahlias are the stars of September. Their incredible variety of colours and shapes makes them one of the most versatile flowers for any décor.

They add character to everything from bridal bouquets to centrepieces and pair perfectly with other flowers to create arrangements full of movement.

Lisianthus

For those who desire the elegance of a rose but with a distinctive, wilder touch and a sense of movement, the lisianthus is a magnificent alternative.

Its delicacy and soft colours lend a genuine romantic feel to any floral arrangement.

Autumn weddings: elegance with character

September and October offer a huge variety of flowers full of texture and personality. Warm autumn tones allow for the creation of very cozy and sophisticated decorations.

Amaranths

Amaranths are perfect for couples seeking bolder décor. They symbolize immortality, eternal love, and that which never withers.

Their distinctive cascading shape creates a spectacular effect in floral arches, hanging arrangements, or high-ceilinged settings, adding movement and great elegance.

Chrysanthemums

Available in a wide range of colours—from whites and pinks to yellows, oranges, and reds—their abundant petals create floral arrangements rich in volume and colour.

They symbolize longevity, joy, fidelity, and honesty. They are an ideal choice for autumn weddings full of personality.

Anemones

Anemones stand out for the contrast of their dark centres. These flowers express fragility and intense love.

They also create an eye-like optical effect, giving them a modern, minimalist, and sophisticated look.

They are especially popular for elegant afternoon or evening weddings, as well as for late autumn and winter celebrations.

The greenery also plays a leading role

Every floral arrangement needs a good foundation. Floral centrepieces are often paired with greenery—such as eucalyptus, which adds texture and freshness—as well as other filler flowers.

A standout among these is baby's breath, a favourite for its simplicity and elegance. Although understated, it lends an airy lightness to any arrangement and complements virtually every wedding style.

Moreover, it is now available in various colours, making it easy to match the specific palette chosen by the couple.

Much more than the bridal bouquet

When we think of flowers, we usually picture the bouquet, but floral décor can feature in many other areas of the celebration.

Thanks to their impressive volume, flowers allow for the creation of spectacular arrangements—not just for grand centrepieces, but also for the altar, photo backdrop, welcome area, and seating plan, or even to decorate the ceremony space with an elegant touch.

Each of these elements helps create a wedding that is cohesive, elegant, and full of personality.

The trend everyone loves: the Flower Shop

One of the most original trends in recent years is setting up a small Flower Shop at the end of the wedding.

Florists arrange small bouquets using the flowers from the event's décor and display them just like a real flower shop. This allows guests to choose their favourite bouquet and take it home as a memento of such a special day.

 In addition to being a lovely touch, it is a sustainable way to give wedding flowers a second life.

The key is to choose seasonal flowers

There are thousands of floral options for a wedding. Some are available for only a few months, while others can be found almost year-round; however, opting for seasonal flowers is always the best choice.

At Hotel Montíboli, every project is designed with your unique story, style, and every minute detail in mind, ensuring the flowers speak for themselves and turn your big day into an unforgettable memory.
