Seasonal Flower Arrangements for Spring

As the days get longer and brighter, spring flowers bring fresh colour and new life into your home. Creating your own seasonal flower arrangement is a simple way to add beauty to any space, whether it's the hallway, dining table, or kitchen windowsill. With just a few blooms and a little creativity, you can make something that feels joyful and personal.

A Brief History of Flower Arranging

People have been arranging flowers for thousands of years. In ancient civilisations like Egypt and China, flowers were used to show status, celebrate special occasions, or bring peace to a space. In the Victorian era, flower arrangements became more about meaning, with each flower chosen for the message it symbolised. Spring flowers like daffodils and tulips were often used to represent new beginnings and hope.

Fact of the Day

Did you know that tulips were once more valuable than gold in the Netherlands during the 1600s? The craze, known as Tulip Mania, saw some single bulbs sold for the price of a house.

Pick the Best Blooms for Spring

Start with flowers that are naturally in season. Popular choices for spring include tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, ranunculus and freesias. These flowers come in soft pastels and bright colours that instantly lift a room. You can buy them from a florist, supermarket or even pick a few from your own garden if you're lucky.

Choose a Vase That Suits Your Style

Your vase does not have to be fancy. A clean jam jar, a small ceramic jug or a recycled bottle can all work beautifully. Just make sure it is the right size for your flowers. Shorter stems need a shorter container to keep things balanced and neat.

Keep It Simple and Natural

You do not need loads of flowers. Sometimes just three to five stems can look more elegant than a big bunch. Remove any leaves that will sit below the water line and snip the ends of the stems at an angle to help them drink better. Play with height and spacing to give your arrangement a relaxed, natural feel.

Add Greenery for Texture

Spring arrangements look lovely with a few sprigs of greenery tucked in. Try using herbs like rosemary or mint or small branches with fresh green leaves. They not only add shape and interest but also bring a soft scent to your arrangement.

Helpful Tips for Longer Lasting Flowers

• Change the water every two days to keep it fresh
• Trim the stems slightly each time you refresh the water
• Keep the arrangement out of direct sunlight and away from heat
• Use flower food if you have it or a drop of lemon juice in the water

Bring Spring Indoors

Flower arranging is a calming and creative way to celebrate the season. You do not need special skills or a huge bouquet, just a few blooms and the time to enjoy putting them together. Whether it is a centrepiece for Sunday lunch or something pretty on your bedside table, spring flowers can make any space feel brighter.
