Spring in the Hudson Valley is an exciting time of the year as it is the season when many gorgeous flowers come back to face the world. Since the options are fresh and fragrant, it’s the perfect time to go all out and have breathe-taking centerpieces regardless of whether you have a special occasion or not. Here are some ideas for great specific flower choices, as well as combinations that can be used to create a centerpiece that will bring your NY landscape to life.
Tulips
Tulips are not symbolic of spring for no reason. The blooming and bright flowers have a way of breathing in life wherever they are used and will definitely look dazzling when used for your outdoor living centerpiece.
Lilacs
Lilacs are simply remarkable flowers that have a billowing effect while providing magnificent color. You can either use one color hue or go for a variation of subtle tones that are ideal if you are looking to have a layered, painterly arrangement. All you have to do is gather blooms in three hues and organize them by color gradation for an outstanding look.
Grape hyacinth
A sweet-smelling flower with a conspicuous blue color. These offer a unique look as they appear to have a grape or balloon-like look. These are bound to look fabulous regardless of the type of vase they are presented in.
Try these combinations: Daffodils + crocus; Roses + peonies + lavender
