60 Chic Ideas For Your Perfect Spring Wedding

A spring wedding is always going to be full of blooms, but instead of displaying them in traditional vases throughout your venue why not have some fun with alternative vessels.

We love the idea of a vintage bike basket with flowers tumbling out. It can also do double duty as a sign to show guests where the ceremony is taking place.

Milk urns are another stunning and different choice for springtime floral arrangements. They look particularly chic in a cluster at the entrance to your venue.

Attractive wooden crates are easy to come by at bric-a-brac or antique stores and make really beautiful rustic flower pots, especially at outdoor weddings.

If you’re creative you might want to collect flowers the spring before you get married, dry them and then use them to decorate your invitations.

Be inspired by the royals when it comes to your spring wedding bridal bouquet. A stunning flower that’s in season is lily of the valley – and it’s sure to give you a touch of Duchess of Cambridge glamour about you on your big day.

Spring wedding flowers don’t just have to be on your reception tables and bouquets. Think about wearing them instead with a stunning floral wedding dress. You could go all out with a colourful print or keep it subtle with floral lace on a traditional white dress.

If you want to embrace the trend but wear something plain yourself, choose floral bridesmaid dresses instead. Another lovely idea for spring bridesmaid dresses is to have your best girls in an array of pretty pastels.

Walking down the aisle is one of the most magical moments of any wedding day, so invest in making your aisle look the part with plants and flowers in planters lining the sides to make it ‘living’.

Floral arches at the entrance/ exit of your venue always look incredible, especially in those all-important confetti photos and as a backdrop for your wedding party pictures.

At a spring wedding you could even just go all out with one type of statement flower and still make your wedding flowers look incredible – think a huge array of daffodils, multiple tulips (fringed tulips are our favourites) or an abundance of stunning baby’s breath.

If you’re having children at your springtime wedding you’ll want to think about flower girls as they will certainly bring the cute factor to your ceremony. Dress them in pretty floral bridesmaid dresses and have them pull a flower-strewn cart (or sit in it if they’re tiny).

Predicting hot weather for your spring or destination wedding? Have a box of floral fans at the entrance to your outdoor ceremony so guests can keep cool as you say “I do”.

A spring wedding doesn’t have to be all about colourful blooms. If you prefer something really fresh and chic, consider choosing an abundance of foliage and asking your florist to decorate with that instead. Tropical greens look amazing at destination weddings too.

Swings don’t just have to be for kids. Hang a pretty wooden and rope swing from a tree at your venue, decorate it with flowers and then it’ll be a stunning place for a first photo as a married couple.

Collect pretty wild flower blooms the day before your wedding and place them elegantly on each napkin for a laid-back spring wedding vibe.

Spring is a time of stunning smells thanks to all the fresh flowers. You could make your bridal bouquet even more enticing though with a mix of herbs, all of which have a special meaning too.

A spring wedding is a wonderful time for boho brides who love being connected to nature and embracing a more laid back wild look. Flower crowns are a brilliant way to reflect the season in your big day look.

If you’re very lucky your spring wedding date will fall over the few weeks when blossom trees are in full bloom. If not, you can hire really pretty artificial blossom trees instead and use them in and around your venue for seasonal wow factor.

Looking for spring wedding ideas for your favours? We love the idea of gifting your guests little packets of wild flower seeds that they can plant at home and that will encourage lots of bees to their gardens.

Spring wedding season often includes Easter so it can be a nice idea to give a nod to this at your wedding even if you’re not religious. Easter is associated with cute fluffy little animals so you could provide some entertainment during the reception drinks in the form of a petting zoo.

If Easter falls nearer summer than winter, you might want to consider an outdoor ceremony. There are some venues in the UK with amazing outdoor spaces, but it’s important with unpredictable spring weather to always have Plan B in case of those pesky April showers.

Outdoor photos look magical at an easter wedding too so be sure to ask your photographer to capture some. This venue is Woodhall Manor in Suffolk.

Easter wedding ideas don’t get much chicer than these pretty dyed eggs.

Everyone loves a mini egg, so give your guests a chocolatey easter treat when they sit down at the reception, with cute faux nests filled with edible eggs.

Looking for entertainment ideas for your spring wedding? We love the idea of hosting an Easter egg hunt around the grounds of your wedding venue.

Give the Easter bunny a starring role in your big day by adopting a cute bunny motif. Think napkins folded in the shape of bunny ears, rabbit-shaped place names with flower tails, or Peter Rabbit decor.

Choosing a spring theme menu is not only a good idea for wowing your guests with delicious fresh food but will also reduce your food miles so is a good eco-friendly option. Spring ingredients for your wedding feast include asparagus, broad beans, peas, radishes, green beans, spring onions, leeks, courgettes, lamb, pork, apples, lemons, and oranges amongst others.

A really quick and easy way to do something unique with spring wedding flowers is to use them inside the ice cubes of your drinks. All you need to do is collect edible blooms and freeze them inside cube trays.

Signature spring cocktails could include elderflower coolers, rhubarb gin, pink lady cocktails, cherry blossom cocktails, and honey rose margaritas. If you’re having an easter wedding, we love the idea of having white rabbit cocktails, mini egg martinis and simple cake sours on the menu.

Spring is a time where lots of people spend a lot of time in their gardens and if you are keen gardeners it can be fun to include a nod to this by serving beer or cans of drinks in a wheelbarrow full of ice.

Ask your caterer to make your food even prettier and appropriate for the season with edible petal decorations.

A sweet cart or table with pretty glass bon bon-filled vases can create a fun vibe at a spring wedding and make guests nostalgic for their childhood.

Spring weather can be really warm so keep guests hydrated in style with massive glass pitchers or dispensers full of fruity water. Cucumber, lemon and organ slices look enticing and cool.

Encourage your guests to spend time outside at your wedding venue by hiring street food stalls or a mobile bar in a horse box or airstream at the evening reception.

It won’t be a surprise to hear that the colour pink works extremely well at a spring wedding. From barely there dusky pinks to bright hits of fuchsia, different shades of pink that reflect cherry blossom and spring flowers will look incredible.

Pastel colours like baby blues, soft pinks, sage green, lemon yellow and lilac really sum up the season and look lovely surrounded by all the new shoots and leaves in nature.

Spring is a time when trees start to produce fruit, so a clever colour palette at a wedding could reflect this. Think peach hues, lemon, watermelon and berries.

Rich jewel tones will look incredible in the sun especially if you pair the deep greens, sumptuous purples, rich reds and pinks and ochre yellow with metallic details or a bit of bling.

With so much fresh green around as a backdrop at this time of year, a pared-back colour palette of just white can look exquisite at a spring wedding.

To bring a really chic and unique floral look to your tables why not hire some pretty crockery with a floral design on it, or if you’re having a small wedding you could find mismatched flowery crockery in charity shops and let guests take a piece home each as a favour.

Celebrate spring and the start of the trees producing fruit but decorating with it. An abundant table runner made up of citrus fruits looks particularly good at destination weddings, or you could combine your dessert with decor by providing stunning platters of fruit on each table.

Depending on the weather and whether you’re getting married at the start or end of spring you might want to provide a basket of flip flops or wellies for your guests when their high heels start to hurt.

If you’re hoping guests will make the most of your venue’s grounds, encourage them to socialise and mingle al fresco by setting up a pretty outdoor lounge area using garden furniture and lots of twinkly fairy lights.

If you don’t have the time or passion to spend ages decorating your wedding, choose an amazing spring wedding venue that does the hard work for you. An orangery, glasshouse or venue with a walled garden or incredible conservatory works really well at this time of year.

It’s the little details that really make a wedding stand out, so keep an eye on the small stuff like your wedding invitation envelopes. Make sure you’re in keeping with the season with pretty springtime stamps or a wax seal with spring or easter motif.

It isn’t just the outside of your wedding cake you might want to give a seasonal twist. How about flavouring your sponges in spring style. Think different tiers of rose, violet, elderflower, lavender, and orange blossom.

This has to be one of the best ever Easter wedding ideas… a chocolate cake that you cut to reveal a hoard of mini eggs. Your guests will be delighted when they see the surprise inside.

One of the more quirky Easter wedding entertainment ideas you’ll come across, but we’ve heard it’s an absolute hoot… get your guests involved in a spot of duck herding. An expert will show you how to guide ducks around obstacles using a shepherd’s crook and sheep dogs!

Image credit: Pinterest

Worried your guests will get bored between the main moments at your spring wedding. Hire some fairground rides if the outside space at your venue allows. Hopefully they won’t all be having too much fun on the dodgems to head to the dance floor to watch the first dance.

A cheap and easy, but absolutely hilarious, game is welly wanging. It’s probably not ideal if you’re hosting a really glamorous black tie wedding, but at a more relaxed affair in the country you could divide guests into teams and watch them get stuck into this classic country pursuit.
