Spring weddings bloom when they build around the season itself: peonies, tulips, lilac and cherry blossom at their brief peak, soft pastel or fresh citrus palettes, garden venues and terrace receptions, light food and lemonade bars, and a rain plan you genuinely love. Book florists early — peony season is short and every couple wants it — schedule portraits around blossom timing, and choose airy fabrics and garden details that make the whole day feel newly awake.
Spring is the wedding season with a built-in metaphor: everything is beginning again. Gardens wake up, the world's most romantic flowers appear for a few short weeks, and afternoon light turns soft and gold. A spring wedding simply has to open the doors and let the season in.
The fifty ideas below cover palettes, flowers, food, fashion and the practical magic — blossom timing, garden games, a rain plan worth loving — that separates a spring wedding that blooms from one that merely happens outdoors. Expect pastels, petals and lemonade, done with a light hand.
