🌸 Know What’s in Season
One of the biggest advantages of using seasonal flowers is their availability and freshness. Seasonal blooms are more abundant, which often means they’re more affordable and longer-lasting. Here’s a quick snapshot of what you might find in each season:
- Spring: Tulips, daffodils, peonies, hyacinths, lilacs, cherry blossoms
- Summer: Sunflowers, dahlias, zinnias, hydrangeas, garden roses
- Fall: Chrysanthemums, marigolds, asters, ranunculus, calla lilies
- Winter: Amaryllis, poinsettias, holly, anemones, paperwhites
Planning your event with these options in mind ensures your decor feels natural, timely, and lush.
💐 Use Flowers to Set the Tone
Flowers are more than just a visual treat—they can help communicate the vibe of your event. Soft pastels and delicate blooms say romance and elegance, while bold, vibrant flowers can energize a space and add personality.
Want a cozy fall celebration? Incorporate deep jewel-toned florals with lots of texture. Hosting a spring soirée? Think light, airy arrangements in blush, ivory, and lavender tones. At The DEC, our space can flex to match your vision—let your floral palette be the star.
🌿 Think Beyond the Centerpiece
While centerpieces are a classic way to showcase flowers, there are so many creative ways to incorporate blooms into your event design:
- Floral installations (think hanging arrangements or statement walls)
- Dramatic entryway displays to welcome guests
- Floral accents on signage, seating charts, or photo booths
- Petite arrangements at cocktail tables or the bar
- Wearable florals, like boutonnieres or flower crowns, especially for weddings or themed events
These details help tie everything together and make the event feel thoughtfully curated.
🌼 Partner With a Local Florist
Working with a local florist who knows the seasonal availability is key. They can offer suggestions you may not have thought of and help bring your vision to life with expert artistry. Bonus: sourcing flowers locally supports your community and reduces the carbon footprint of your event!
🌺 Let Nature Inspire the Theme
Sometimes, flowers don’t just complement your event—they define it. Use the natural beauty of seasonal blooms as a jumping-off point for your entire aesthetic. A spring wedding filled with peonies and lilacs? Build a romantic garden-party theme around it. A holiday gala with winter whites and deep greens? Think elegant, evergreen glamour.
At The DEC, we love helping clients design events that feel connected to the season and inspired by nature.
