Spring Wedding Ideas: Fresh, Bright, and Full of Life
Cherry blossoms, garden parties, and fresh starts. Spring weddings are full of natural beauty and romantic possibilities.
Spring Color Palettes
Blush and sage. Lavender and cream. Peach and gold. Spring palettes should feel fresh and light — save the deep, moody colors for fall. Pastels photograph beautifully in spring light, especially during the golden hour that comes earlier in spring than summer.
Flowers in Season
Peonies (late spring), ranunculus, sweet peas, tulips, cherry blossoms, lilacs, and garden roses. Seasonal flowers cost less and look better than out-of-season imports. Work with a florist who loves spring blooms.
Outdoor Ceremony
Spring weather is ideal for outdoor weddings — warm but not hot, with longer daylight hours. Cherry blossom canopies, garden ceremony settings, and vineyard backdrops are all stunning. Top spring wedding locations include Charleston, Savannah, Washington D.C. (cherry blossoms!), and Napa Valley.
Have a Rain Plan
Spring means unpredictable weather. Always have a Plan B — a tent, an indoor backup space, or umbrellas for guests. Clear tents are beautiful in the rain and let you keep the outdoor feel.
Spring-Inspired Details
Lemonade stations, herb gardens as favors, butterfly releases, flower crown bars, garden-party cocktail hours, and al fresco dining. Lean into the season's energy of renewal and new beginnings.
