I’ve seen every season of love—but there’s just something special about spring weddings. Maybe it’s the way the world seems to wake up just in time for your big day, or how nature provides the most stunning, built-in decor (hello, cherry blossoms and tulips!). If you’re considering a spring wedding, let me take you through all the little details that make this season the perfect time to say, “I do.”
The Bloom Factor
One of the biggest perks of a spring wedding? The flowers! This is prime time for florals, meaning you’ll have a stunning variety to choose from at peak freshness. Think peonies, lilacs, ranunculus, and sweet-smelling jasmine. Not only do they add breathtaking beauty, but they also bring a natural, intoxicating fragrance to your venue. Plus, florals in spring tend to be more affordable since they’re in season—score!
Ideal Weather (With a Side of Backup Plans!)
Spring weddings benefit from that perfect, not-too-hot, not-too-cold temperature. However, let’s be real—April showers are a thing! The trick? Have a plan B for any outdoor elements. Opt for a tented reception, embrace transparent umbrellas for a whimsical photo op, or pick a venue with both indoor and outdoor options. With the right mindset (and a great planner—wink, wink), a little rain won’t dampen your day.
Fresh and Seasonal Menu Options
Spring is a foodie’s dream when it comes to wedding menus. Caterers love working with fresh, in-season ingredients like asparagus, strawberries, artichokes, and even edible flowers. Think light and refreshing—herb-roasted chicken, lemony pasta dishes, and fruity signature cocktails. Your guests will leave full and happy without the sluggish post-heavy-meal feeling.
The Color Palette of Dreams
Spring’s natural palette is a wedding stylist’s dream. Pastels, soft greens, and pops of bright florals make for an effortlessly romantic setting. But don’t feel boxed into traditional spring hues—dusty blues, sage greens, and even rich jewel tones can look incredible when paired with springtime’s natural beauty.
Longer Days = More Celebration Time
With daylight savings bringing those longer evenings, you get more time to party before the sun sets. This means golden-hour photos to die for and a reception that glows under the early evening sky. Whether you want to dance under twinkle lights or have a sunset ceremony, spring gives you options!
Unique Spring Touches to Consider
Garden-inspired decor: Wildflower centerpieces, hanging floral installations, or even a ceremony in a botanical garden.
Seasonal wedding favors: Mini potted succulents, seed packets, or locally sourced honey are charming and practical.
Spring-themed attire: Flowing fabrics, floral embroidery, and light suits keep the wedding party looking and feeling fresh.
Spring weddings are all about embracing the season’s natural beauty, fresh flavors, and longer days. Yes, the occasional rain shower might make an appearance, but with a little planning (and a great attitude), it can be part of the magic. So if you’re dreaming of a wedding filled with blooming flowers, soft breezes, and endless romance, spring just might be the perfect season to start your forever!
