spring wedding decor
Spring is a season rich in beautiful flowers, fauna, wildlife, and colors. For couples getting married within the March through May timeframe, it can be overwhelming to choose a décor scheme or color palette. Over the years, top wedding planners and designers worldwide have presented Spring wedding décor ideas that include every design imaginable – from over-the-top floral installations, to minimalist aesthetics.

Currently, couples and their designers are often choosing between two contrasting concepts of monochromatic wedding décor or multicolored designs. Both offer a great deal of color inspiration for lavish receptions, and gorgeous Spring wedding décor ideas for today’s brides and grooms.

Pastels tend to be considered the classic color palette for the season, and Spring wedding colors over the years have often featured a mix of baby pink, powder blue, and seafoam green. With couples leaning more towards minimalism and monochromatic colors, however, all-white weddings with a mix of ivory, cream, and the buttery yellow glow of candlelight have been a favorite for Spring.

Not only is there an element of restraint in choosing such a muted color palette – but a monochromatic wedding also allows for floral designers to balance out that minimalist color combination with lush installations and floral tablescapes that are modern yet timeless.

A monochromatic wedding will always be relevant, and the photos will provide wedding décor inspiration for decades to come.

All-white weddings are an idyllic canvas for playing with different textures as well. The elegant blooms of white roses, for example, provide an exquisite contrast to fluffy white peonies or boughs of hydrangeas.

Cherry blossoms are a favorite for Spring wedding décor and look absolutely heavenly when gathered together to for ceremony arches, centerpieces, or even dramatic cherry tree installations sprouting up from the center of custom-made dinner tables.

Choosing the right Springtime flowers is also the perfect opportunity to play up the location of a wedding and give guests a sense of place. For example, magnolias would be a stunning addition to a Spring wedding in Charleston; and the eternally romantic lily of the valley is practically expected to make an appearance during a Springtime wedding in the English countryside.

If an all-white affair seems a bit to “sterile” for Spring, there are ways to incorporate a few strategic accents without taking away from the glamour of a minimalist color palette. Simply leaving stems and leaves attached to the florals adds a natural pop of green for some vibrancy and color, without distracting from the blooms.

Another décor idea is to play with the furnishings and design elements, such as metallic chairs and tables, or gold pillars to hold up a floral ceiling installation. At the other end of the Spring wedding color spectrum, some couples and designers are opting to bring an entire kaleidoscope of colors into play.

Rather than adhering to traditional aesthetics, weddings around the globe are featuring unique and whimsical themes such as African safaris, surrealist art, and – a current favorite – carnivals. The sky is the limit when it comes to Spring wedding décor of this variety, as even hired performers can play a significant role in contributing to an event’s aesthetics and guest experience.

Think circus performers, aerial artists, stages integrated into a reception layout, and focal points like a full-sized carousel. For those hosting multiple events during their wedding week, these fantasy celebrations are a wonderful option for rehearsal dinners or welcome parties if the couples would rather take a more traditional route for their big day.

Some couples even opt for an extra special engagement party, which would be a wonderful opportunity to bring even their most “out there” visions to life.

Somewhere in between the all-white and multicolored weddings, there’s another category of Spring wedding décor ideas that play up the “happy medium” between the two. Jewel tones and vibrant shades of pink and red are a bolder, more current take on the Springtime color palette, and they can take center stage in the form of bespoke floral tabletops, ceremony backdrops, and décor accents.

With today’s Spring wedding décor ideas being as varied as the in-season flowers themselves, couples and their designers should always focus on what décor elements and color inspiration resonates with them most. More importantly, wedding décor must always reflect the couple and who they are, whether their style is timeless, experimental, or somewhere in the middle. All other details will fall into place perfectly.
