50 Sweet Spring Wedding Ideas for Our Favorite Season (2024)

There's something so special about spring weddings, from the abundance of flowers to the pastel colors to the gorgeous garden-inspired details. Not to mention, it's a season of welcome changes: The weather grows warmer, the days get longer, and everything comes alive. We tend to associate the season with pastel palettes—think pinks, purples, whites, baby blues—and delicate, pretty blooms, both details that translate perfectly to springtime wedding décor. In fact, when marrying in the spring, our general advice is to get inspired by the season!

Since spring is a time of blossoming florals, consider embracing in-season blooms like tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, and garden roses in your floral arrangements to save money and get more bang for your buck. But if flowers aren't your thing, we still have plenty of spring wedding inspiration for you. Keep reading to see what makes us think of springtime, but remember, you can use these beautiful arrangements and décor ideas in any season. After all, we are fans of blooming flowers, soft colors, and fresh ideas all year long.

Consider Floral-Printed Invitations

50 Sweet Spring Wedding Ideas for Our Favorite Season (4)

Your formal invitation suite is a guest’s first glance into your wedding day décor. If you’re featuring one signature flower (or even a variety), consider including it on your invite in the form of an illustration, motif, or even as an envelope liner.

05of 50

You can’t get more classic than a lily of the valley nosegay or bridal bouquet. The traditional flower—carried by a number of royal brides—blooms in the spring, and as you’ll see, it’s a wedding favorite for good reason.

07of 50

Find Fringed Tulips

50 Sweet Spring Wedding Ideas for Our Favorite Season (7)

How about pastel shoes for something blue? We love the way this bride embraced a pastel color scheme with her pastel-periwinkle wedding heels for her big day.

09of 50

Serve Fresh Specialty co*cktails

50 Sweet Spring Wedding Ideas for Our Favorite Season (9)

It’s always smart to garnish a co*cktail with something pretty, but these drinks are especially unique. Flowers are inside the ice cubes while the sprig garnishes are clipped to the coupe with a mini clothespin. While these are an obvious choice at co*cktail hour, we also love the idea of a refreshing drink at an alfresco ceremony.

10of 50

Wear a Floral Frock

50 Sweet Spring Wedding Ideas for Our Favorite Season (10)

Take the spring theme quite literally by wearing a floral print dress. We can’t think of a better excuse to break the all-white tradition.

Bring Out Sun Umbrellas

50 Sweet Spring Wedding Ideas for Our Favorite Season (11)

How cute is this beach-style sun umbrella for a sunny spring wedding? It adds a pop of color and a bit of whimsy, too

12of 50

Embrace Sundresses

50 Sweet Spring Wedding Ideas for Our Favorite Season (12)

If jumpsuits aren't your style, it's a must to dress your squad in seasonally appropriate sundresses. We’re totally into this high-neck style by Free People, which features a knee-length silhouette and unique floral cutouts that feel modern and fresh.

13of 50

Give Flower Girls Adorable Baskets

50 Sweet Spring Wedding Ideas for Our Favorite Season (13)

Take inspiration from May Day baskets by giving some pretty woven ones to your flower girls. Don’t these little ladies look adorable?

14of 50

Look Pretty in Pink

50 Sweet Spring Wedding Ideas for Our Favorite Season (14)

Your wedding party can look pretty in pink, especially when wearing the hue in different shades and silhouettes. We also love a coordinating flower crown at this time of year.

15of 50

Include Fluffy Friends

50 Sweet Spring Wedding Ideas for Our Favorite Season (15)

Go ahead and cue the “awws.” Make like this little lamb—the cutest wedding guest ever, by the way—and dress your littlest attendees (dogs, cats, bunnies) with crowns of greenery. They are the guests of honor, right?

16of 50

Create a Floral Arch

50 Sweet Spring Wedding Ideas for Our Favorite Season (16)

Make the entryway to your ceremony or reception stand out. It’s easy to make it a focal point of the celebration, especially when it looks and smells like this.

17of 50

Decorate the Lawn

50 Sweet Spring Wedding Ideas for Our Favorite Season (17)

Take advantage of your venue's built-in décor or use what you had decorating the aisle to create a display on a hill or in a great expanse of grass. We’d happily relax here with a co*cktail in hand.

18of 50

Say "I Do" Outdoors

50 Sweet Spring Wedding Ideas for Our Favorite Season (18)

This gorgeous golden-hour kiss is enough to convince us that spring is practically made for outdoor weddings. Embrace the warm weather, the scent of fresh flowers, and longer days to host the alfresco ceremony of your dreams.

19of 50

Embrace Nature

50 Sweet Spring Wedding Ideas for Our Favorite Season (19)

When you think of spring, you think of flowers in bloom, and this natural aisle is evidence of that. Seriously, just imagine yourself making a grand entrance surrounded by this pretty display of purple wildflowers!

20of 50

Hand Out Custom Fans

50 Sweet Spring Wedding Ideas for Our Favorite Season (20)

Since the weather can be hit or miss this time of year, it’s smart to prepare for both extremes. If it’s unseasonably warm on your big day, these special fans might just be your guests’ new best friends—and if not, they’ll serve as a pretty prop/favor nonetheless.

21of 50

Decorate Chairs With Green Garlands

50 Sweet Spring Wedding Ideas for Our Favorite Season (21)

Bistro chairs already announce a garden setting, but we especially love that this bride paired hers with vines of clematis. This beautiful flower blooms during the spring months.

Line the Aisle With Flowers

50 Sweet Spring Wedding Ideas for Our Favorite Season (22)

We love the natural, planted look of this flower-lined aisle. It’s perfect for spring, as the pastel-colored flowers look as if they’ve just come into full bloom. Plus, these wooden benches add a special touch to the ceremony setting, making it feel like an intimate garden gathering.

25of 50

Have Umbrellas on Hand

Treat this as another precaution if you’re celebrating outdoors. Umbrellas can be used to shade guests from either showers or strong sun rays.

26of 50

Make a Display of Colorful Wellies

50 Sweet Spring Wedding Ideas for Our Favorite Season (26)

While we would love the weather to be all sunshine and rainbows, we must remember that April is known for its rain showers. (They bring the May flowers, of course!) Keep this in mind, watch the forecast, and if showers are in store, come up with a creative display for your guests’ muddy shoes.

27of 50

Set Up Swings

50 Sweet Spring Wedding Ideas for Our Favorite Season (27)

Embrace your inner child and take a swing in a flower-covered setup like this one. It’s a fun activity at co*cktail hour—plus, it makes for one pretty photo op.

28of 50

Incorporate Fragrant Details

50 Sweet Spring Wedding Ideas for Our Favorite Season (28)

For the escort card table, create a flower stand reminiscent of a French farmer's market. That way, little bouquets of lavender guide guests to their seats and serve as a favor at the end of the night. Also, they can look great in the groomsmen's jacket pockets while also smelling incredible.

29of 50

Embrace Lattice Detailing

50 Sweet Spring Wedding Ideas for Our Favorite Season (29)

A trellis covered in vines is a home garden staple. We suggest translating this look onto a bar to make another statement setting. After all, it’s the most popular spot at the party, so why not make it pretty?

30of 50

Pair Oranges With Wicker

50 Sweet Spring Wedding Ideas for Our Favorite Season (30)

Create a Custom Crest

50 Sweet Spring Wedding Ideas for Our Favorite Season (31)

Design a personalized crest to use throughout your wedding on paper goods like this couple did on a statement seating display hung among wisteria blossoms. Make it bright and floral for spring, of course, and put it on your programs, menus, and more.

Display Bright Blooms With Escort Cards

50 Sweet Spring Wedding Ideas for Our Favorite Season (32)

Play up paper escort cards with a statement arrangement of bright blooms. Here, dahlias, zinnias, and snapdragons pop against the calligraphed paper.

33of 50

Use Dyed Eggs as Escort Cards

50 Sweet Spring Wedding Ideas for Our Favorite Season (33)

If you're having a wedding around Easter, channel your inner child by using dyed eggs in place of paper escort cards. We recommend elevating each with a calligraphed name and miniature nest. Also, feel free to use fake ones—no one will notice.

34of 50

Attach Escort Cards to Flowers

50 Sweet Spring Wedding Ideas for Our Favorite Season (34)

Attach calligraphed paper to long stems to create a picture-perfect flower wall. You can execute this look in a number of ways by placing the flowers in vessels, hanging them on a string, or entwining them in a wire structure, as shown here.

35of 50

Decorate With Garden Furniture

50 Sweet Spring Wedding Ideas for Our Favorite Season (35)

A tent is a smart idea for a spring wedding—remember those rain showers we mentioned—but that doesn’t mean you can’t have your dream garden party. With the right rentals and topiary plants, you can absolutely recreate the vibe of patio seating inside a sailcloth tent.

36of 50

Hang a Floral Chandelier

50 Sweet Spring Wedding Ideas for Our Favorite Season (36)

Hello, spring. Nothing screams ’tis the season like a hanging installation of pink tulips. Keep the look going with a monochromatic vibe carried throughout in the plates, flatware, and rose gold chairs.

37of 50

Embrace a Muted Tabletop

50 Sweet Spring Wedding Ideas for Our Favorite Season (37)

Soft-hued blue-gray linens and plates modernize this otherwise traditionally romantic look. We’re especially fans of the cool silver tones when paired with warm pastel florals.

The Ultimate Guide to Spring Weddings

Incorporate Floral Plates

50 Sweet Spring Wedding Ideas for Our Favorite Season (38)

When you think of springlike china, you often envision pretty pastel hues featuring vintage-type roses. And while we do love that look, we think this tiny blue-and-white pattern is a fresh take on the classic.

39of 50

Embrace a Seasonal Menu

50 Sweet Spring Wedding Ideas for Our Favorite Season (39)

Most of your favorite fruits and veggies are in season right now. Incorporate them into your menu—and onto your menu.

40of 50

Incorporate Fresh Fruit

50 Sweet Spring Wedding Ideas for Our Favorite Season (40)

Strawberries are in season, so take advantage. We love how this theme is woven throughout the tablescape’s design, from the fruit bundle to the poppy centerpiece and printed linens.

41of 50

Decorate the Dance Floor

50 Sweet Spring Wedding Ideas for Our Favorite Season (41)

If you want to get your guests on the dance floor, try something like this. To re-create this look, find a design you love or have an illustrator draw one, and then have it printed on a custom dance floor. You can also create a similar look with gobo lights or a decal.

42of 50

Install a Floral Canopy

50 Sweet Spring Wedding Ideas for Our Favorite Season (42)

At this real wedding, the dance floor was set beneath a floral sky, with delphiniums and lupines as a nod to the groom’s mother’s favorite flowers. “Toward the end of the night, our friends lifted us up above the crowd. We could reach up and touch the beautiful ceiling we’d been smelling all night,” says the bride.

43of 50

Decorate With Herbs

50 Sweet Spring Wedding Ideas for Our Favorite Season (43)

This chamomile-accented cake was as pretty on the inside as it was on the outside. It featured three different flavors (lemon, chocolate, and strawberry) paired with Swiss meringue.

44of 50

Serve Berry-Filled Sweets

50 Sweet Spring Wedding Ideas for Our Favorite Season (44)

Strawberries are in season in the spring, so talk to your baker if you’re a fan of the sweet berry. It makes a delicious filling or topping for your wedding cake or other desserts.

45of 50

Top a Drip Cake With Flowers

50 Sweet Spring Wedding Ideas for Our Favorite Season (45)

It’s true that drip cakes are trending, but this mini one is next-level. Why? We love that the color is added in the delicate floral accents rather than on the cake itself.

46of 50

Use Dried Flowers

50 Sweet Spring Wedding Ideas for Our Favorite Season (46)

If you’re looking for an Instagram-worthy cake moment, this is it. We especially love how these pressed flowers blend into the natural green backdrop.

47of 50

Add Real Rose Accents

50 Sweet Spring Wedding Ideas for Our Favorite Season (47)

Decorate your buttercream cake and the cake table with fresh, pretty pastel flowers. (This is a cheaper alternative compared to the sugar variety.)

48of 50

Embrace Edible Flowers

50 Sweet Spring Wedding Ideas for Our Favorite Season (48)

This trendy garnish is a must at any flower-filled celebration. We suggest adding edible petals to special treats, such as the cake or a signature co*cktail.

Give Guests a Seasonal Favor

50 Sweet Spring Wedding Ideas for Our Favorite Season (49)

While we love flower-pressed sweets, we love this wedding favor idea even more. At the end of the night, turn all of your guests into flower-lovers like you by sending them home with seed paper to plant. As their flowers grow, they’ll remember your special day.

50of 50

Share Your Flowers

50 Sweet Spring Wedding Ideas for Our Favorite Season (50)

Since you’re investing in your wedding-day florals, don’t let them go to waste. We love the idea of giving guests a bundle or even delivering arrangements to nursing homes or hospitals the next day.
