Hosting your wedding during spring makes sense for so many reasons, with warming weather, beautiful colour palettes, and better vendor availability being just some of the motives behind the 25% of weddings set to take place between March and May 2023 according to this research from Hitched.
With country house wedding venues like ours in full bloom come spring, the season provides all you need to enjoy a picture-perfect big day that you can look back on with pride for years to come. Continuing this beautiful theme with wedding ideas that are made for the season is a must. Here we share the prettiest ideas to include in your spring wedding…
Use pastels a little differently
Pastel colour palettes are synonymous with spring, but you don’t have to opt for the overdone pink and blue combination. By teaming less obvious yet equally fresh shades like lemon and peach, pale green and grey, teal and blush, and lilac and white, you can embrace pastels your way throughout your wedding day scheme.
Take a hint from the season
Spring is one time of the year when the natural world comes alive with colour, so take advantage of the stunning blooms that the season is known and loved for. Brides reveals just a few in-season flower varieties that will make your day:
“Luckily, springtime couples are blessed with tons of beautiful in-season blooms to choose from. Peonies, roses, tulips, calla lilies, hydrangeas, sweet pea, and ranunculus are just a few of the many flower types readily available for spring weddings. Romantic pastels are always go-to hues for this season of renewal, but don’t be afraid to add bold pops of colour for contrast (think fuchsia, coral, orange, and purple).”
From dried and fresh bouquets to floral archways that guarantee a grand entrance, the possibilities for using seasonal flowers throughout your spring wedding are endless!
Go wild with your flowers
It’s not just delightful, structured displays that can make a big impact on your spring wedding day.
For those looking to enjoy a more boho or rustic vibe, the season’s wildflower varieties are made for the occasion. You can use cut wildflowers to create stunning installations that wouldn’t look out of place in a modern art gallery or give wildflower seeds as favours for a cute touch that brings you and your guests back to the beauty of the season.
Embrace glorious gingham
Nothing says picnic like gingham fabrics, and what better time to embrace that picnic vibe than during spring?
Whether it’s a fresh yellow gingham print layered with burlap that gets your vote, an understated pastel pink gingham that’s the print for you, or it’s classic red gingham that you’ll be adorning your reception tables in, this bold pattern is made for spring.
Just add pompoms
Exploring alternative wedding décor that goes beyond seasonal florals yet is just as pretty is a must for a springtime wedding. Paper pompoms or lanterns are great additions to bright and bold colour themes and pared back, pastel schemes, adding texture and a quirky, whimsical flourish to your spring wedding day.
