When it comes to florals for your wedding, there are so many options to choose from. Will you go bold, or will you opt for a more sweet and supple option? But with certain seasons, comes a few favorites, and sweet peas are definitely at the top of the list for spring.
It's not surprising so many couples adore sweet peas. Sweet peas are ruffly, romantic, fragrant, and they come in a variety of colors, ranging from white to coral pink to purple, and just about every shade in between.

They can be incorporated into sweet pea bouquets, used in centerpieces, or even used to adorn a cake—the perfect addition to a springtime wedding.
To help get you inspired with ways to incorporate this sweet little bloom into your wedding, we've put together a collection of our favorite ideas. Read on for unique ways to incorporate sweet peas into your own ceremony and reception.
