Spring Wedding Guide: Themes, colors, and inspiration

As nature starts to wake up and flowers are blooming, spring offers the perfect canvas for a wedding filled with soft pastels, delicate details, and fresh new year inspiration. If you’re planning a spring wedding, embracing the season’s beauty allows for so many dreamy ideas for themes, color palettes, and seasonal elements that will leave you and your guests enchanted.

Gorgeous Garden Party:

Spring weddings scream romance with heavy nature inspired themes. Picture an outdoor ceremony in a blooming garden, with vintage decor, delicate floral arrangements, and a touch of whimsy. These are the weddings with receptions under tents adorned with string lights, lanterns, and much greenery. It adds an element of magic to the atmosphere.

For couples wanting a timeless yet nature-based vibe, a “Secret Garden” theme is the perfect way to incorporate greenery, lush foliage, soft pastels, and climbing vines. Pair this theme with vintage furniture pieces, gold or rose gold glassware, and simple delicate centerpieces for a fully cohesive look.

Pastels With a Pop & Neutral Color Palette:

Spring is the season of rebirth and associated with soft, airy tones that create a romantic embrace. Pastel shades like blush pink, light blues, and lavenders are stable colors with softer shades like ivory, champagne, and white help balance the color palette. For more vibrancy and a less muted tone, consider adding colors like peach, rich greens, or rich coral colors to bring some energy into the landscape. Floral-patterned textures and accessories are another great way to bring forward springtime inspired themes.

Some Favorite Floral Elements:

Florals are a key part of spring weddings, and seasonal blooms can help elevate your decor and help save money for being in season.

Some of my favorite spring flowers are:

Tulips: ranging in varieties of hues and colors from purples, pinks, yellows, and white. They are perfect for assorted bud vases and table displays.

Peonies: known for their romantic ruffles and soft petals, they are perfect for centerpieces and bouquets.

Lilacs and lavender: for pops of rich purple and dreamy fragrance.

Foxgloves: are striking and standout in any display. Typically flowering in rich tones of purple, pink, and white.

Using fresh flowers in unexpected places, like your wedding cake, hair, and down the aisle gives that element of fully embracing the natural beauty of the season.

Spring Decor & Inspired Ideas:

Tablescapes with vintage china, bud vases, and pressed flowers. Floral arches and fresh greenery for stunning focal points around the space. Invitations with watercolor detailing and botanical floral designs. All add romantic elements to the overall vision and vibe of the wedding.

Seasonal Drinks & Menu:

Consider first course salads with edible flowers, a main course with in-season spring vegetables like asparagus, and desserts bursting with citrus and berry detailing. For drinks and cocktails, you could offer a few signature drinks like a lavender lemonade, or a grapefruit gin. Sticking with keeping things light and airy.

Spring weddings are all about embracing the season’s beauty. Getting inspired by the seasonal blooms, soft hues, patterned details, and fun pastel color schemes, you can create a romantic and unforgettable celebration that feels elegant and fresh. Spring offers endless possibilities for bringing the vision to life.
