One of my all-time favorite unsung floral heroes is the grape hyacinth. These remind me of my first house as a kid, sitting under the willow tree in our backyard, where we had a little patch of grape hyacinths where I would play barbies with my cousin. And as my name spelling is derived from the word Jacinta, meaning “hyacinth”, I think these just have a connection with me all around (although contrary to the name, they aren’t hyacinths at all, and are actually part of the lily family!)
I love the grape hyacinths, also known as muscari, because like the other flowers I’ve been featuring, they are not known as a statement flower but play more of a backup role in the lovely little details :). Their flowering time is in late spring but if you look hard enough, you may be able to find them during other times of the year as well.
And now for some images of these lovely little blooms:

I love how these give a burst of color in your floral accents and are a lesser-known flower, so they really add a unique detail to your wedding blooms.

I have always loved hyacinth, not only for the beauty of the flower, but for the beauty of the name alone!
Those hyacinths are gorgeous. I love it!
Cool! These are all over my parents back yard - I called them blueberry flowers when I was growing up because they look like tiny Maine blueberries. I never knew their proper name.
