As the weather starts to warm up and the days get longer, the arrival of spring brings a burst of colour and new life to the world around us as fresh flowers bloom. Spring is an exciting time for florists as it brings with it an abundance of new seasonal blooms and fresh colours to work with. After a long winter, the arrival of spring flowers signals the start of a new season and inspires creativity among florists who seek to capture the essence of spring in their arrangements.
The most popular flowers at this time of year include tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, lilacs, peonies, cherry blossoms, ranunculus, and freesias, among others. These blooms are known for their vibrant colours, delicate petals, and lovely fragrances, making them perfect for creating stunning floral displays for a range of occasions, from weddings to graduations, and everything in between.
 
One of the most significant aspects of spring for us at Zita Elze is the range of colours available. Spring is a time of renewal, and the colours of the season reflect this. From soft pastels to bold and bright hues, the colours of spring can be used to convey a range of emotions and moods in floral arrangements. We can use these colours to create arrangements that express joy, hope, and new beginnings, perfect for occasions such as Easter.
In addition to the colours, the textures and shapes of spring blooms are also essential for florists. Spring flowers come in a range of shapes and sizes, from the delicate petals of a cherry blossom to the lush, fulness of a peony. These textures and shapes allow us to create arrangements that are both visually stunning and tactile, adding an extra dimension to their work.
Overall, spring is an exciting time at our store, as it offers a vast selection of new blooms and colours to work with. The season is perfect for creating stunning floral displays that celebrate the beauty and joy of the season, and for bringing a touch of springtime magic to any occasion.

Spring also presents an unique challenge as we need to ensure the freshness of our flowers in the warmer weather. As the temperatures rise, flowers can wilt and lose their freshness more quickly. We need to take extra care to ensure the flowers are stored and transported correctly, and that they are not exposed to direct sunlight or heat, which can damage them.
