Spring weddings are quite wonderful, I think. We can imagine nature waking up, flowers blooming, and of course, love in the air. Whether you’re envisioning a garden party or an elegant indoor affair, spring offers endless inspiration for a wedding that feels fresh, light, and unforgettable. Spring is about starting anew, and weddings represent starting a new phase of life, so why not enhance those vibes with a spring wedding.
Here are some general ideas to make your spring wedding nothing short of magical.
Color Palette:
Lean into soft, romantic hues. Think blush pink, sage green, buttery yellow, and sky blue. For a more modern twist, pair pastels with pops of vibrant coral, lavender, or even a bold emerald. Seasonal florals like peonies, ranunculus, and lilacs naturally fit this palette and add lush texture to bouquets and centerpieces.
Venue:
Outdoor venues shine in spring, from botanical gardens and vineyards to historic estates with sprawling lawns. If weather is a concern, look for spaces with gorgeous indoor-outdoor options like glasshouses, covered patios, or tented gardens.
Decor:
Channel the season with details like floral archways, hanging installations of greenery and blooms, and delicate touches like pressed flower invitations or embroidered table linens. Use nature as your canvas — a ceremony under a blooming cherry blossom tree needs little else! You can also use a mix of balloons and florals to make an insanely magical archway or installation that whisks your guests away into the springtime splendor.
For chairs, I am going with my classic Garden Resin Folding Chair or my favorite, the Chiavari Stacking Chair. It may seem not as important as the decor, but trust me, your guests will thank you for having some great chairs to sit during the ceremony.
Fashion:
Spring is the perfect excuse for lighter, airier fabrics. Brides might choose gowns with floral appliqués, soft tulle skirts, or flutter sleeves. Grooms can embrace light gray, soft blue, or tan suits. For bridesmaids, mismatched pastel dresses create a dreamy, ethereal look.
Food and Drink:
Fresh and seasonal is the way to go. A menu featuring spring vegetables, herb-forward dishes, and bright citrus flavors feels just right. Signature cocktails could include lavender lemonade spritzes or elderflower-infused gin fizzes. This is the good thing about spring weddings too, the food is easy because it is generally quite light.
Extra Touches:
Lean into spring’s whimsy with ideas like a flower crown station for guests, a garden-inspired photo booth, or a send-off under a shower of biodegradable confetti. Be conscious at your earthy wedding to not pollute our planet. And don’t forget a plan for unexpected spring showers — cute umbrellas or a cozy tented lounge can turn raindrops into part of the charm.
Spring weddings are all about embracing renewal, beauty, and romance. With the right touches, your celebration will feel as fresh and full of promise as the season itself.
