Choosing Seasonal Blooms for Your Marbella Wedding

The Mediterranean Advantage

One of the most beautiful aspects of planning a wedding on the Costa del Sol is the extraordinary range of flowers that thrive in this Mediterranean climate. From the delicate sweetness of jasmine that perfumes the summer air to the architectural elegance of olive branches that frame the Andalusian landscape, nature provides an abundant palette.

Spring: March to May

Spring in Marbella brings an explosion of colour and fragrance. Garden roses begin their first flush, peonies arrive in their brief but glorious season, and ranunculus offer their signature layered petals in shades from cream to deep burgundy.

Our favourites for spring weddings:

  • Garden roses in David Austin varieties
  • Peonies in blush and white
  • Ranunculus for texture and depth
  • Sweet peas for their ethereal movement
  • Jasmine for fragrance

Summer: June to September

The height of wedding season on the Costa del Sol, summer demands flowers that can withstand the warmth while maintaining their beauty. We source the most resilient varieties and employ careful hydration techniques to ensure every arrangement remains pristine.

Our summer recommendations:

  • Hydrangeas in soft greens and whites
  • Lisianthus as a beautiful, heat-tolerant alternative to roses
  • Bougainvillea for that distinctly Mediterranean feel
  • Olive branches and eucalyptus for structural greenery
  • Protea for architectural drama

Autumn & Winter

For couples who choose the quieter months, the mild Andalusian winters offer unique possibilities — dahlias in their richest hues, anemones in jewel tones, and the romantic atmosphere of a celebration bathed in golden winter light.

Working with Seasonality

At Altamirano Floristas, we always recommend embracing what nature offers in the moment. Seasonal flowers are not only more beautiful and fragrant — they are more sustainable. We work closely with local growers and trusted European suppliers to ensure every bloom in your celebration is at its absolute peak.

If you are planning a wedding in Marbella or Malaga and would like to discuss the floral possibilities for your chosen season, we would love to hear from you.
