Ideas for The Most Beautiful Spring Weddings!

 Ideas for a Spring Wedding

In the springtime, there is something extra sweet about saying 'I do.' The trees and flowers are blossoming, the sun is shining longer, and all seems new again. Inherently elegant and romantic, the Spring wedding style focuses on fresh and lighthearted elements that reflect the joy of the season, but what exactly does that mean when you try to visualise how to design your wedding? From spring wedding colours and spring wedding flowers, to beautiful ideas you can recreate for your own event, this informative and inspirational guide has everything you need to know.
FAQs for a Spring Wedding
Why should you have a wedding in spring?

Spring is known as the rebirth season, because everything magically becomes green and fresh again after a long (and often dreary, depending on where you live) winter. Weddings in spring can vary from early March to mid-June. The spring months continue to be a very popular wedding choice across the country, but in recent years they have seen some heavy competition from the fall months (especially October).
For a spring wedding, what are the best colours?

A spring wedding colour palette is traditionally all about pastel hues or airy, cheerful colours. Pink, blue, yellow, purple, and green are just a few that come to mind. Think about the colours you see in bloom. Choosing two main colours, and then pairing them with a neutral (white, grey, black, cream, etc.) for the most visually pleasing combination, is a good recipe to create a balanced colour palette.

If pastels or bright colours aren't your thing, then we get it completely. Choose one as your main colour if you prefer richer tones, such as red, plum, or emerald, and then accentuate it with a neutral and a "muted" pastel, such as French blue, mauve or sage green, to achieve a happy medium. For a spring wedding, anything too dark will typically seem out of place.
What are the best wedding venues for spring?

Celebrate the natural beauty and renewal of the season by choosing a botanical venue if you are planning a spring wedding. Conservatories, arboretums, gardens, and greenhouses are among some of our favourites. These places will have an abundance of flowers and plants in bloom in the spring, creating a picture-perfect backdrop for your marriage.
What wedding flowers are there during the spring season?

If you are having a spring wedding, then when it comes to your wedding flowers, consider yourself spoiled, and we mean that in the best possible way! Not only do you have your choice of flowers that are readily available throughout the year (hydrangeas, roses, lilies, orchids, dahlias), but when it comes to some of the most coveted blooms, including peonies, which can be difficult or costly to find out of season, you are also in luck. Tulips, muscari, anemones, daffodils, lilacs, hyacinths, hellebores, and poppies are additional spring flowers.

Work with your wedding florist to make arrangements that really bring the beauty of the flowers to life. For weddings on the formal side, stick to your banquet tables with a few types of flowers and uniform centrepieces. Don't worry too much about the arrangements looking perfect or identical, if you want a more carefree look. A picked-from-the-garden vibe that is inviting and peppy for a spring wedding is given off by centrepieces that have a slightly undone appearance.

With unique vessel options for the arrangements, you can even play around. Garden-inspired elements work particularly well with the style of a spring wedding. Have your florist display the flowers using terra cotta pots, wooden baskets, galvanised pails, or even cute vintage watering cans instead of traditional vases.

Spring's Wedding Ideas

You've made it to the fun part if you're ready to start planning your wedding decor, congrats! To spark your creativity, here are some of our favourite spring wedding ideas.

Watercolor invitations for weddings

What better way to announce all your special day's details than with a lovely watercolour invitation suite? For a spring wedding theme, details such as flowers, monograms, calligraphy, and custom crests are all fitting.

Wedding Lay Flat

There's a good chance that when taking pictures of your rings, accessories, and other day-of details, your photographer will style a wedding flat lay (or several). The perfect addition to their photos are colourful flowers and petals that match the rest of your arrangements.

High heels floral

There is no such thing as too many flowers at a spring wedding. By adding a floral print or embroidered shoes for a bit of elegant flair, complete your wedding day look.

Wedding Dress Blue

For the springtime nuptials, pastel wedding dresses were made. For many brides wanting a colourful wedding dress, Blush is a popular go-to, but we also love this powder blue tulle masterpiece by Nicole + Felicia.

Loose, oversized bouquet for weddings

Carry a free-flowing bouquet of Japanese magnolias, roses, sweet peas, and ivy vines filled with seasonal spring flowers. The loose, imperfect design gives a pretty garden-inspired vibe to the arrangement.

Backdrop for Flower ceremony

With almost any type of structure or flower, this flower curtain can be recreated, which makes it one of the most versatile wedding ideas for spring. It will create a modern look with a sleek square frame and white flowers, but you could also use natural wooden boards, branches, and metal arches.

Bridesmaid Pastel dresses

Soft colours and flowing fabrics for spring bridesmaid dresses are both popular options. If your style feels too overdone for blush and blue, consider instead outfitting your bridesmaids in sage green or lilac dresses.


Veil embroidered

For a spring wedding theme, an opulent embroidered floral veil is not only classic, but it's spot-on. Plus, to accessorise an updo or long hair, you can use a veil.

Crown of bridal flower

If you're not into wearing a wedding veil, for a pretty seasonal touch, add fresh flowers to your hair instead. With a halo of rosebuds and other pink flowers, this braided bun looks gorgeous.

Wedding venue in Greenhouse

Remember the idea of getting married at a botanical venue when we mentioned it? If you choose a flowering garden or conservatory, thanks to the existing flowers, plants and other details that are already filling the space, you can get away with using less decor. This gives you more room for specific items, such as a custom cocktail bar or renting those vintage tufted chairs you've always dreamed about, to allocate your budget.

Floral aisle plantings

For any time of the year, but especially for a spring wedding, this stunning concept is one of our favourite ceremony decor options. Your florist can create the illusion of "planted" arrangements that look like they're growing all along your aisle using a mix of flowers, greenery, and hidden vessels. Voilà: enchanted garden vibes instantly.

Candles floating

These floating candles are a simple but chic way to amp up the romantic atmosphere, whether you add them to your altar, reception entrance, sweetheart table, venue walkway, or any other spot that needs a decorative boost.

Station Bubbly

Decorate with seasonal foliage and flowers in your bar or drink station, such as jasmine, forsythia, cherry blossoms, lilacs, roses, or peonies. Looking to somehow surprise your guests? For a memorable experience, hire a champagne truck or a mobile bar.

Packet Seed Escort Cards

Year after year, one of the most popular ideas for spring weddings is this. At a garden-themed wedding, individual seed packets, especially vintage-style designs, come in handy as alternative escort cards or cute favours. To complete the cottage-core look, show them using clothespins or a wheelbarrow.


Glassware Colorful

Looking for a way to immediately brighten up your tablescapes for reception? Add glassware in colour! Whether you want new or vintage items, you can find plenty of options from local event rental companies. As long as the pieces are in the same general colour palette, a variety of designs and sizes will only add to the whimsical feel. Do not worry about the glassware matching perfectly.

Patterned plates for dinner

Instead, round out your place settings with patterned plates if basic white china feels blasé for your taste. We suggest floral prints and chinoiserie for a spring wedding, but your venue, caterer, or event rental company may have more to choose from.


Candles taper

There's nothing more romantic for your reception tablescapes next to rose and peony-filled centrepieces than taper candles. If your venue requires open flames to be covered, you can find them in almost any colour imaginable (your florist or event planner should be able to recommend a few sources) and display them in tall hurricane vases.

Flower-garnished cocktails

Don't forget about the small details when thinking about the big picture. The garnish on your signature cocktail might not seem like a big deal, but it can make an ordinary glass of champagne feel extra-fancy by simply adding an edible flower.

Flower-covered cake for weddings

It is no surprise that flowers are one of the most popular decorations for spring wedding cakes. Ask your florist to set aside a few additional flowers that can be used for decoration by your wedding cake baker. Roses, ranunculus, peonies, dahlias, and greenery are all great options. Sugar/gum paste flowers are just as pretty if you don't want to use actual flowers. Ruffled levels, ribbons, floral-painted fondant, and semi-naked or naked cakes are all great choices, too!

Succulent favours for weddings

For a spring wedding, plant-themed favours are one of our favourite ideas. Adorable (and low-maintenance) favours are these miniature potted succulents, but you could also give your guests packets of seeds based on your favourite flower or vegetable.
