There are so many advantages to having a spring wedding: The temperature is neither too hot nor too cold, spring wedding flowers (think blooms like lilacs and tulips) are readily available, and your venue options are pretty much limitless (no weather restrictions!). Spring is also the time of year that symbolizes renewal, which is a perfect metaphor for your big day. While there's lots to look forward to about planning a spring wedding, the process can still be overwhelming, especially when you consider the many seasonal color palettes and floral options you have to choose from. If you're having trouble deciding where to start in terms of decorations, we've put together some of our favorite wedding ideas for spring celebrations.
Ahead, you'll discover how couples paid homage to the season throughout their big days. From table settings that use traditional spring hues (like pastel pink and purple) to floral arrangements made up exclusively of tulips (a signature springtime bloom!), you're bound to find an idea that will inspire you. The best part? The hues and florals that have become so synonymous with this season can be incorporated in both obvious and subtle ways. Take this set up by Bustle Events, for example, which offers a small nod to the season. The pros scattered pink candles of varying heights down the table for dimension and a hint of color.
If you're still on the fence about the perfect time to tie the knot, these ideas might just convince you to book a spring wedding date. Click through for incredible ideas to steal for your own springtime event.
Pink Invites
Flowers were featured on every element of this seasonal suite by Nib and Pixel. We're also loving the painting of the wedding venue on the envelope flap.
Hidden Lilac
In this spring bouquet, Bows & Arrows tucked lilacs into a light-hued mix of peonies, hellebores, sweet peas, clematis, and astilbe.
Traditional Colors
Spring wedding colors—like purple and pink—made a statement in this Clementine Botanical Art creation.
Dried Elements
Swap verdant greenery for dry pampas grass, like Stella Bloom Designs did here, for an unexpected addition to your spring centerpieces. Lady Liberty Events chose pink napkins that brought seasonal color to each place setting.
Peonies and Anemones
Moss Floral Design incorporated seasonal pastel hues in this bride's bouquet by using soft pink peonies, Japanese anemones, and garden roses.
Ombré
This towering, ombré eight-tier confection by Madison Lee's Cakes was the focal point of this spring reception.
Scattered Tulips
Nothing says spring quite like tulips. That's why Designer Dana scattered single pink tulips throughout this arrangement of white hydrangeas.
Contrasting Runner
Make your in-season centerpiece pop by placing it on a table runner with a contrasting color. A blue statement linen allowed this mix of multi-colored garden roses (these buds readily bloom in late spring!), arranged by Tinge Floral, to stand out.
Pink Favors
Work spring wedding colors into every detail of your warm-weather big day. These pink Himalayan sea salt favors, created by Arielle Fera Events, were a perfect, albeit unexpected, nod to the season thanks to their blush hue.
Lilac Bouquet
Cedarwood Weddings mixed two in-season blooms—white hydrangeas and fragrant lilacs—in this textural bouquet.
Blue Linen
Pastels are one of the hallmarks of spring. On this table, A Good Affair created a light blue color palette with blue napkins, candles, and plates.
Welcome Box
Greet your guests with a seasonal welcome box. This one featured a light pink bow and delicate calligraphy by Cheryl Dyer.
Head Table
Sisters & Blush Floral Design spruced up this head table with fresh spring blooms, vibrant greenery, and potted garden rose arrangements. Hanging tea lights gave the display an ethereal feel.
Non-Floral
Violette's Flowers put together this simple centerpiece of eucalyptus leaves; knotted pink napkins celebrated the season.
Seed Favors
The end of winter marks the perfect time to start gardening. Encourage guests to do so by sending them home with seed packet favors.

Is there a prettier spring color palette than pink and white? This Bouquet Omaha bundle included garden roses in the two colorways, along with a little bit of greenery.
Pink Accents
Synie's Paris dressed up this naked cake with roses, dahlias, wax flowers, and rice flowers—note how the hint of pink frosting on the bottom tier blended well with the fresh spring blooms.
Floral Arch
Classic spring wedding colors—pink, purple, and white—all made an appearance in this Wen Floral Design Studio ceremony arch. We can't take our eyes off of those hanging blooms.

Colorful candles emphasized the spring color palette of this Meesterlijk Groen arrangement.
Floral Additions
Bring the garden indoors by placing a floral arrangement underneath a hanging display. Erba Floral Studio filled the space below this seating chart with dahlias, garden roses, and greenery.
Outdoor and Indoor Venue
The wonderful weather this time of year means you can host your ceremony either inside or outside. Make like this couple and choose a venue—like Barr Mansion pictured here—that has a little bit of both.
Living Tables
Since spring signifies renewal and growth, fill every part of your day with natural elements. This couple made each cocktail table a garden by planting delphinium spijker stalks, which Greenwood Events sourced from a farm in Kenya, in each base.
Cluster Centerpiece
Sarah Winward chose seasonal yellow and pink blooms for this mini cluster centerpiece.
Blue Ink
When using dark colors on your spring invitations, make sure to keep it minimal. This suite from Etsy used just enough white space and floral designs to feel in-season.

Holly Heider Chapple Flowers combined tulips, ranunculus, and garden roses to create this classic, romantic, and seasonal color palette of red and pink.
Pink-and-Green Menu
This pink and green "kissing menu" by Wedding Paper Divas screamed springtime and paired perfectly with this FOS Decor hydrangea and orchid centerpiece.
Gray
You don't need to fill your reception tables with large, lush floral arrangements to create a spring vibe. Sarah Park Events designed this minimal place setting with a small sprig of greenery from Poppy Design Co. to give this look a bit of seasonal color.
Lilies of the Valley
This truly unique bouquet by Laetitia C. Fleurs was made up of only lilies of the valley—a traditional in-season bloom.
All Tulips
For an eye-catching seasonal arrangement, use just one type of flower in your centerpieces. Hot pink tulips spilled over the sides of this iteration by Piet Van Kampen.

To bring spring to the forefront of this event, EJD Design crafted floral place cards and menus to mark each guests' seats.
