Daffodils are one of the perennial signs of
spring. Fresh and cheerful, they would be absolutely delightful as the
theme for a spring marriage celebration. When a flower is your signature
motif, naturally the bouquets and centerpieces will become a key part
of your design. The signature flower can also be used on invitations,
the wedding cake, and much more. The great thing about daffodils is that
they come in a variety of color combinations and sizes, so you can plan
a very interesting wedding around the single design concept.

A
simple bouquet of white daffodils would be ideal for the bride. Tie it
with a pale yellow satin ribbon to dress it up, or choose a fun check or
stripe ribbon for a more casual flavor. This would be a lovely bouquet
to carry with a white lace or organza wedding gown worn with pearl
bridal jewelry. A pearl headband would be a pretty complement to the
bridal jewelry. For the bridesmaids, a beautiful bouquet would be one
created from several colors of daffodils. Mix all yellow blossoms with
yellow and white, yellow and orange, and orange and white for a
fresh-from-the-garden appeal. The miniature daffodils would be just
right for a junior bridesmaid or flower girl to carry.

As for
centerpieces for a daffodil theme wedding, choose several varieties to
combine for visual interest. Spring bulbs always look fantastic when
displayed as potted plants, so one centerpiece idea is daffodils which
are planted in pretty pots. Cover the soil with moss or smooth pebbles
for a finished look. Daffodils also look pretty when displayed very
simply, so another great centerpiece option is arrangements of cut
flowers in clear vases. A trio of vases with different colors of
daffodils will keep the design from looking too simple. If you wish for
more formal centerpieces, combine yellow and white daffodils with other
spring blossoms such as sweet peas and tulips.

Certainly the
wedding cake offers the perfect place to showcase your wedding theme. A
charming idea would be to top a pale yellow buttercream cake with a tiny
basket filled with sugar daffodil blossoms. Another pretty cake idea is
a white buttercream cake with gingham ribbon wrapped around the base of
each tier. Add clusters of sugar daffodils around each tier in a
scattered design. Keep the inside of the cake as light and springy as
the decorations by choosing a classic white cake or a lemon flavored
confection.
There are many more ideas for incorporating a daffodil
theme into your wedding. A fun wedding favor idea is tiny pots with a
single blossom or even a fancy bag with bulbs that guests can take home
and plant. The white and yellow colors of daffodils can be carried
throughout the wedding decorations and table linens for a cohesive
design. Add touches of light green for just a hint of contrast. Without a
doubt, a daffodil theme is a fresh and fun idea for a spring wedding.
