Posted on: 04/05/2023
Many people dream of a spring wedding – some are lucky enough to be planning one! Although summer is still the leading season for weddings, stats show that spring isn't far behind. Spring signifies a fresh start and the beginning of an exciting new chapter, so what better time of year to choose for your big day?
If you need inspiration on how to select the right spring wedding colours, flowers, or jewellery, keep reading. We'll give you plenty of spring wedding ideas to get the ball rolling.
Think about flowers
A perk of having a wedding in spring is the flowers at this time of year. Reputable florists tend to work with the seasons, so seek advice on which spring wedding flowers you might want for your big day.
You're spoilt for choice. Choose from pastel-coloured freesias, bright tulips, or perfect pink roses for your bouquet or corsages. On top of this, consider how you would like to decorate the altar and your centrepieces. Many go all-out with flowers for a spring wedding, with everything from aisle décor to flower arches. For a better idea of what might be possible, speak to your venue and florist about decorative wedding ideas for your spring ceremony.
Choose the right colours
A colour scheme should be dictated by your vision for key features of the day – your bouquet, your bridesmaids’ dresses or how you envisage your venue looking. Choosing the right colours is a key part of your spring wedding planning.
When it comes to spring wedding colours, pastels are an obvious choice. Dusky pink, olive green, or a graceful lilac will embrace the vibrancy of spring while promising enviable photo opportunities. Alternatively, why not get experimental with bold colours? A bright teal or vibrant fuchsia is bound to put a smile on guests' faces.
Consider your jewellery
Jewellery is the ultimate way to elevate an outfit, so take your time choosing pieces for your special day. The right ones can bring your outfit to life, and also complement your hair, dress and engagement ring, giving you a more cohesive look on the day. Even better if you can tie in your jewellery with your spring wedding colour theme.
You might want to add colour with gemstones or perhaps opt for a touch of sparkle with diamonds. The same goes for men too – from rings to watches, there are plenty of decisions to be made. If it fits your spring wedding theme and makes you feel great, wear it!
Pick an inspiring yet accommoating venue
A spring wedding in the UK is likely to have unpredictable weather. You may get beautiful sunshine or downpours – or you could get both within the same half hour. Whether you like it or not, do give this consideration when choosing where to get hitched, as well as where to host the wedding reception.
Having a venue with indoor and outdoor spaces will mean adverse weather won't hinder your celebrations. You can stay dry while also having the option to take brilliant photos outdoors if you get lucky. Stuck for wedding venue ideas for spring? There are plenty of National Trust sites that accommodate weddings with beautiful outdoor areas in the UK.
Get creative with the entertainment
Entertainment can help to maintain the momentum throughout the day. Having the right entertainment can be especially helpful with the transition from the post-wedding breakfast lull to getting everyone up on the dancefloor. Many opt for live music, from classical performances to acoustic singers.
There are plenty of spring wedding entertainment ideas to choose from. Make memories in a photo booth with Easter or spring-themed props or go one step further by inviting furry friends to your wedding. A petting zoo, especially if you’re based on a farm, will go down a treat with any child guests who may be bored by the entertainment for the grown-ups.
