You can also place fresh cut flowers tucked into the napkins!
Flower Desserts: For spring you should try to incorporate flowers wherever possible, even in your dessert! This can be as easy as placing them on sugar cookies or on cupcakes. Simply bake your dessert of choice, top with royal icing and place a fresh bloom of edible bloom of any flower of your choice on top! Pansies make for an adorable topping! Paper or silk butterflies are also a great topping choice.
Pot Pies: Spring is not only a time for growth of flowers but of vegetables as well. Bake these vegetables such as carrots, asparagus and other fresh cuts into a mini potpie for a wonderful first course! This is great for those going for a rustic and countryside feel and conveys the magic of spring just the same! Your guests will love this tasty little treat!
Centerpieces: For centerpieces you can actually skip out on the flowers and use some fresh greens instead! Think using herb plants to place in the middle of the table with some tea candles. You can also accent these with smaller herb wedding favors! If you’re still looking to throw some flowers in the mix but keep it toned down and natural you can use simple white lunch bag to cover the potted plants. Tie a cinch around the top for a very homey feel!
