10 Tulip Arrangements That Are Absolutely Stunning (2024)

Open Up!

Mattie Bush, founder of Amelia's Flowers suggests trying to open your tulips up for a totally new and modern look. "We love to "re-flex" the tulips in arrangements," she says. "It's a really beautifulway of making an arrangement feel even more full and adds beautifultexture. It makes the tulips look like a brand new flower!"

Monochromatic

"Simplicity is key when it comes to appreciating tulips. Group tulips of the same color together," suggests Bronwen Smith, owner and lead designer at B Floral. This makes for a stunning, easy arrangement. Want an everlasting arrangement? Check out this one (above) from Pottery Barn. Neat!

Fresh Greens

"Let tulips stretch out in your favorite vase (mine is a speckled blue enamel water pitcher) and pair them with field greens like Solidago, or a fresh snip of eucalyptus for both fragrance and fullness." –Callie Bladow, production director at BloomThat.

Variegated Varieties

Looking for something simple but still interesting? Look for tulips that have variegated petals, like these pretty ones from Urban Stems. They make a statement but don't take a lot of energy or time to arrange!

Exotic

"This contemporary and tropical-inspired design features a zebra leaf lining to hide the stems inside the vase. The groupings of orchids, horsetail, sword fern, and our favorite Libretto parrot tulips create a chic twist!" —Amy Child Marella, owner of the Hidden Garden

Specialty Tulips

"I am always so excited when Parrot tulips are in season and readily available. With their curly, feathered, and multi-colored petals, they provide a sublime texture and depth to any arrangement. This exotic tulip is a clear standout star, yet somehow manages to bring out the best details of all of the flowers in the entire arrangement. I love to incorporate them into all of our floral arrangements whenever I can." –Christina, owner of Christina Baker Design

Tulips as the Co-Stars

Tulips can make a beautiful addition to an arrangement without being the star of the show, like this bouquet by Amelia's Flowers! Their shape looks gorgeous alongside larger flowers, serving as a "filler" flower that also stands on it's own.

Multi-colored Arrangement

"Tulips are one of my favorite springtime flowers. For long-lasting tulips, I suggest buying ones very tight or unopened, with the buds still green and just showing a little bit of color. When arranging tulips in a vase, start by placing two-thirds to three-quarters of your tulips around the perimeter of the container. You can situate the stems so that they are standing straight up, or you can crisscross them in the basin of the container to create an interlocking web that will hold the stems in place. From there, fill in the center and try to space them apart as evenly as possible." –Eric Buterbaugh, Chief Floral Officer for The Bouqs Co.

Calming Palette

"This arrangement was inspired by spring and the feeling of new beginnings—this white, pink, and sage color palette is a lovely color scheme for the transition from winter to spring. I like to pair tulips with hydrangeas and ranunculus." –Ivy Vuong, owner of Flowers By Ivy and floral partner of BloomNation

Standout Texture

"The texture of these fringed tulips is so unique that I wanted to stick with a single varietal and a single color to really put the emphasis on the incredibly delicate, lacy petals." –Caroline Bailly, owner of L'Atelier Rouge
