About Daffodils

Daffodils—also known as narcissus—are one of the first blooms to appear in spring and are widely associated with new beginnings, hope, and happiness. Their bright, sunny appearance instantly lifts any arrangement, while their distinctive shape adds texture and variety. Daffodils come in several sizes and styles, from classic yellow to white varieties with contrasting centers, offering flexibility for both traditional and whimsical floral designs.

Wedding Design Ideas

Daffodils are perfect for spring weddings, garden parties, and rustic celebrations. Their light fragrance and natural shape make them well-suited for loose, organic bouquets and centerpieces.

Daffodil Pairings

Daffodils shine in seasonal spring mixes and work well with both bold focal flowers and delicate fillers. Their upright stems and trumpet faces provide contrast and movement in a bouquet. When paired thoughtfully, they can be both elegant and delightfully playful.

• Textural greens like seeded eucalyptus or lemon leaf
• Sweet-smelling filler like stock or waxflower
• Romantic accents like ranunculus or lisianthus
• Fresh herbs like rosemary or mint for an organic touch

Color Trends

Daffodils are most commonly yellow, but many varieties offer white petals or bicolor blooms. Their natural palette fits beautifully with soft pastels or bold spring color schemes, making them easy to integrate into a variety of floral designs.

• Mixed varieties for wildflower-style arrangements
• Pale yellow tones for soft romantic palettes
• Bright combos with pink, coral, or lavender spring blooms

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I order daffodils for my wedding or event?

Daffodils are seasonal and usually available in early spring. Place your order 7–10 days before your event to allow time for blooming and arranging.

Are daffodils good for wedding bouquets?

Yes—especially for spring weddings. Daffodils add charm, texture, and a pop of color. They work beautifully in hand-tied or garden-style bouquets.

How many daffodil stems do I need for a bouquet?

A bridal bouquet might include 15–20 stems of daffodils, often mixed with other flowers. For centerpieces or smaller arrangements, 7–10 stems per design is typical.

Can daffodils be mixed with other flowers?

Yes, but with care. Daffodils release a sap that can reduce the vase life of other flowers, so they should be conditioned separately for several hours before mixing.

How long do daffodils last after delivery?

Daffodils typically last 4–6 days. Let them hydrate upright in clean water, and avoid trimming the stems after they’ve been conditioned.

Do daffodils require any special handling?

Yes—because of their sap, it’s important to let daffodils sit in water alone for 4–6 hours before combining with other flowers. After conditioning, they’re safe to use in mixed arrangements.
