Fresh Ideas for a Stylish Spring Wedding
A spring wedding brings a splash of excitement to what can be a long, slow trek toward summer.
And the season gives rise to all kinds of enthusiasms. Even the blackest thumbs among us starting paging through gourmet food magazines and seed catalogs, and dreaming of lemons and strawberries, rhubarb pies and asparagus.
So it's a sure thing your wedding guests will show up in a partying mood. Which means that all you need to do is plan the ceremony — and event — of your dreams, and the rest will follow. With that in mind, here's some tips on what's fresh for Spring 2008 and beyond.
Chic Colors, Piquant Patterns
Spring wedding colors break down into several camps. First, there's the "I just like it!" girly colors. You know, timeless choices like butter yellow, pink, lavender, pastel green. Pink brides take note: spring's probably the easiest time to get away with your favorite color.Then there are the trendy colors. Chocolate brown is still strong, and makes a showing at plenty of spring weddings. But more common than a phalanx of chocolatey bridesmaids is taupe or mocha, which has that trendy zing but lightens things up. Popular complements? The usual suspects: hot or pale pink, orange, peach or coral, baby blues and minty greens.
City brides wanting an ultra-urban look need only turn to the newest colors of the season. Start with steel gray — often paired with a crisp white and a sophisticated honey-wheat, accented with amethyst.
As for patterns, this is where things get interesting. Florals with a telltale geometric spin are everywhere. Be a little tongue-in-chic and consider drawing on spring patterns and textures like gingham, Swiss dots, eyelet or for a cool Asian touch, cherry blossoms.
The Freshest Foods
Approach your cake and menu with a light touch. If ever there was a time for coconut frosting or fillings, this is it. Or fresh strawberries or lemon cream. Choose bright, lighthearted colors for your cake, and go all out on whimsical details like Swiss dots and fondant ribbons.
Sautéed fresh asparagus will brighten up plates. Think miniature quiche with fresh spinach and green onions, and tiny cream tarts as a decadent background to the season's fresh fruit. Champagne makes a great home base for beverages, but bring a splash of color to your drinks by serving Bellinis, Mimosas, or a masterpiece of your own, spruced up with fresh berries or mint. Anything tiny fits the tone perfectly (cupcake trees and petites fours are great favorites).
Botanical Beauties
Timeless choices for this season of renewal are delicate blooms like sweet peas, lilies of the valley, ranunculus, or lisianthus. Hyacinth, irises and daffodils have a vibrant Easter feel. A bouquet of cream tulips, or roses and subdued pastels or white, couldn't be more classic. As always, brides with a contemporary bent and a cream, pink or green palette are drawn to orchids — perfect for a stylish spring.
Vernal Couture
Don't head to the bridal store yet! Your options for spring weddings are more varied than the ads might lead you to believe.Of course, you can stick with tradition. But if you're looking for alternatives, spring is a fine time to look into the gowns sold with destination weddings in mind, some of the new cotton gowns coming down the line, or if you're feeling really daring, totally delicious 50s and 60s-inspired gowns with bouffant skirts that scream for a birdcage veil.
As for the guys, the rage for all things brown means your beloved and his buddies are sure to find formalwear in anything from chocolate brown to the lightest of mochas. (Match the ties to your bridesmaids' sashes.) And if your wedding's near the water, or it just suits your fancy, a white linen suit might be just the thing.
Need great looks for the girls? Experiment with fabric (like lush dupioni silk dresses with contrasting sashes) or patterns (bridesmaids in tea-length gowns with a subtle, oversized floral pattern — fabulous!) Be fresh off the pages of the fashion mags, and adorn their gowns with puffy, organza roses at the waist or neckline. And of course, pick some sexy, strappy shoes to show off those spring legs!
Accessorize the Look
Organza neck scarves or pashminas couldn't be more romantic, and they're perfect for spring breezes. Also chic: paper or sandalwood fans, pastel parasols, delicate floral headpieces and hairpins.
Juice Up the Joint
A tried-and-true place to start with decorations: bare branch arrangements (ultra-large for the floor, or smaller for tabletops) gussied up with springtime flowers. Silk would be practical; real, a memorable extravagance. Evocative choices for blooms include magnolias, cherry blossoms or plum blossoms. Leave plain, or gild the lily with gossamer fabric wraps or chandelier-style crystals.And go heavy on the petals — bring them to your cake tables, candy buffet tables, guest tables. A blizzard of petals, not snowflakes, reminds your guests they've made it through the dark months.

Florists continue to innovate, bringing all kinds of non-floral pizzazz into table arrangements. Cool ideas we've seen for spring include fresh bunches of asparagus, tips painted in gold, woven in with more traditional blooms. And we love the rustic height of pussy willows. Some favorite centerpieces tuck in birds' nests.
Another simple way to pull everything together? Ribbon! Casual arrangements of Gerber daisies and mason jars look smashing when you wrap the jars in bright ones. Let ribbons flutter romantically from shepherd's hooks, programs, the ringbearer's pillow, the bridesmaids' sashes, even a maypole. A twist on ribbon: a mini "tie the knot" theme.
Other popular adornments and spring themes include butterflies, dragonflies, wildflowers ... and more recently, frogs in the form of sleek silver placecards and whimsical bouquet picks.

so here is my wonderful dilemma. i got engaged in Jan, was planning on having a wedding in March.. but plans changed. we were going to just elope… so i didnt need to make any plans at that point.. now we are keeping the family happy and having a wedding again.. one prob though… the wedding will be in less than three months..
(no the date is not set yet) .. how do you plan a wedding so quickly… luckily our church has given us the church and hall for free so thats one less worry.. but now.. theme… and colours.. well since it is spring i could go spring theme.. but… well initially i was going to have a lily theme… i think lilies are just stunning.. colours has been another headache for me though… i wanted purple, gold and ivory/cream but a friend who beat us down the aisle decided to take the purple so it changed to emerald green, gold and ivory/cream but then she added the green to her colours as well… my mother in law is insisting i must have emerald green peach and yellow.. needlesstosay i am not keen on this… i am in a pretty pickle and i know i am not giving you lots to work with.. HELP
K,
first here are some quick links to plan a 3 month wedding…
*google results
*real wedding, i thought this was so simply pretty when i saw it
*you will love the plans here
okay, this wedding is stunning in a simple elegant way. i was just blown away. it was planned in 10 weeks….
*go to portfolio and click on hartford wedding
i would either go with bouquets of wild flowers or mixed garden flowers, or to keep things simple pick one type of flower and use throughout like at wedding above. i love the black and green it is classy without even having to put thought into making it appear that way. that is just something classic colors like navy and black have, paired with green and its a winner. you know it will be elegant just cause of the color.
another idea is an all white, ivory, or champagne wedding. green and white is awsome too….
*be sure to check out all parts to this wedding
what are you and your fh’s fave colors and venue colors are important, so if i know those i can help with complimenting shades. cant wait to help!
Hi Stacey,
thanks so much for all the links… i have just browsed quickly through them… will look through them more at length as soon as i get a chance…
my favourite colour is yellow, and fh’s colour is blue… but that doesnt really go for spring here in sunny SA..thats more summery i would say…
but perhaps this would make matters easier.. i was considering maybe using light pink, dusty pink, burgundy and brown as wedding colours… fh wants black instead of brown, which though i am sure is more modern i feel might be a little harsh… perhaps you can convince me otherwise… or give me some more ideas… and my initial theme with the green / purple was going to be “magical / nature” in other words i was going to try string up paper lanterns / fairy lights everywhere and give everything a ethereal magical feel.. floating candles in glass bowls of water as table centerpieces… etc… if i go with the pink burgundy theme i was thinking along the lines of a cherry blossom theme.. could still use lanterns and floating candles it will still give it a sort of magical romantic atmostphere… but flowerwise i have been told that cherry blossoms dont last long… do you think i should consider making paper flowers.. would be easy to cut a few bare branches and stick paper flowers to them… of course i dont want it to look cheap or gaudy… what would your opinion be on this matter? i think i will still have a fresh flower bouquet for me and the bridesmaids… a certain flower in the different shades of pink and burgundy…
the venue colours… in the church itself it has green and burgundy carpeting, with burgundy stained wood balustrades, skirtings, doors etc, the walls are a creamy yellow and the curtains are all burgundy… the hall is basically cream walled simple and bare so i will have to find ways to decorate that dramatically..
well thats all i have for you now.. cant wait to hear from you again… thank you so so much for everything.. kat
K,
i am thinking something like this link would be gorgeous!
*feteny
what you can do is buy cylinder vases( from saveoncrafts.com) and put lightweight branches and in between these vases have small glass bowls of floating pink flowers or candles. white linens and black napkins.
*another wedding reception
*check out the last reception, could do in black and white
K,
this real wedding is in 2 words….absolutely GORGEOUS!
*style me pretty
to add more black to this wedding, think black bm dresses and black embroidered runners, look for something with pinks intermixed, black napkins with pink crystal or wooden napkin rings.
K,
board i made for you incorporating the black.
Stacey,
i must be driving you mad already, ha ha, so sorry.
i absolutely adore the lanterns.. GORGEOUS!!! would love something like that. but i know that i will have to think carefully… if i do the branches and candles on tables… will it be too much with the lanterns suspended from the roof? i loved the branches with the fairy lights through them on the dance floor on the one link.. sigh.. so many options.. ha ha i must be a typical bride.. cant make up her mind…
i would like the black to be subtle.. reason been… fh and his fam are rather dark in complexion… and me well i am rather fair… we really are like a black and white chess game.. ha ha ha.. in fact i considered that as a theme once… but fh was not too impressed
… ha ha
there is so much to consider with last minute weddings..
i love the board you made… just want to be able to point a finger and go.. i want that.. i want that.. ooo and that.. and bam its there… if only it was soooo easy…
Stacey thank you so much for everything.. i really truly appreciate it…
K,
why not have lanterns or paper lanterns from ceiling and get simple grapevine and trail down the tables, then secure votives among the vine. keep it simple but with the woodsy ethereal look your after. plus grapevine at a craft store is not very expensive.
heh check this out…
*one of the most simple and gorgeous weddings ever!!
girls in olive and guys in khaki and white then bring in your pinks etc. in flowers like just tinges of pink among more green bouquets. you could have the guys in khaki and white suits. for the bouquet just choose green orchids that have that tinge of color in center and then add very small pink flowers. i was strongly consider axing the black in favor of khaki. it will give you more of the look you are after. i am gonna make you a quick board to show what i think would look awesome and keep it streamlined. it will be sorta like the real wedding i posted.
K,
omg! i just found a pic, now it is in red roses but think about using your colored roses from bouquet pic( with a very short stem like shown in my floating flower link) mixed with tealights in long, low glass containers or just get bowls and have the roses again with short stems and surround with the votives. but personally i love this look with the floating candles.
*gorgeous!!!
i hope you like it. it would be super simple. you could even trail grapevine around it down the length of the tables, round tables? just elegantly drape around it. this would give that enchanted forest look. i would even go as far as tinting the water a very pale pale blue like water in a enchanted waterfall/pool. then you can hang fairy lights and paper lanterns overhead without it being to much. if there are any ficus trees in the building wrap those with lights too. i think the bm would look fab in dusty rose or a mauve rose shade too.
*mauve dress
*or this gorgeous color!!
*another dress
also dont overlook champagne or grey dresses for the bm. you can do alot with a neutral background palette bringing in the bouquet colors above. actually champagne, with dusty roses etc. would look amazing. and the floating flower idea/grapevine. wow!!!! let me know what ya think!!
charcoal grey for the guys would work well too. gray and dusty rose or lilac etc. always look great together!!

Hello, my wedding is June 12, 2010 and my colors are blue and purple. Purple is my favorite color so I would like for my flowers to be a mix of the two colors but mostly purple. My girls are going to be in bright blue sundress and I’m not sure what to do with their flowers. I’m worried that blue flowers won’t look right next to their blue dresses, but I don’t want their flowers to have as much purple as mine. What should I do? I feel like I’m making this too hard for myself, but it’s what I want.
emily,
white would be nice, since white will be a part of your color scheme anyway. then tie their bouquets with a matching ribbon. or a nice blue and purple combo ribbon. another thing you could do is have white flowers and place blue flowers on the outer edges, then tie with a ribbon.
emily,
oh yeah! dont forget about using white and green or blue and green bouquets. i google imaged both and they were really pretty. would be perfect against your purple and blue.

Hey… I am having my wedding in October of this year. I want my colors to be pink and white but October colors (orange and brown) are totally different. Would it be weird to have a spring themed wedding in October. Opinions please… Thanks alot :)
stormee,
have you thought about pink, orange, brown, and white? this would work out perfect!! but i wouldnt want it to clash with your venue. if you let me know more details, would love to help!!
I am getting married in Sept in Africa so it is summer. want an informal quirky affair. no wedding party. Having reception and ceremony outside with beautiful views of african bush - reception in marquee. Have NOTHING finalised.
At moment am thinking champagne coloured dress and decor in burnt orange and hessian colours with maybe cream /champagne as base (tablecloths chair covers etc) . with porcupine quill or guinea fowl feather accents. Flowers arrangements will probably not be on tables but in large rusted metal urn type containers with stralitzia (bird of paradise) and twig / feather accents. like teh idea of actual hessian fabric but dont know iftaht will be too rustic
Any suggestions additonal ideas would be appreciated re decor / favours. was thinking about gold fish bowls on tables with white pebbles and a couple of orange gold fish as centrepiece but is not really african bush? I dunno am overwhelmed
priscilla,
omg! that sounds wonderful!! i dont think it will be to rustic. especially against elegant champagne. as far as the goldfish, i know they are popular, but i have known some brides that had problems with some goldfish and they didnt make it. they said it didnt make a great centerpiece because they may not make it DURING guests eating. since you are using feathers, why not have small vases of gorgeous feathers for centerpieces? i think that would be so uniquely beautiful or have bowls of fruit.
I am getting married in May of 2010. My colors are dreamsicle and wisteria. I am having a hard time thinking of flowers and favors. My favorite flowers are tigerlilies but what can I do to represent the purple? And what about centerpieces and favors? I have absolutely no ideas. Help?
andrea,
do you have a theme and what does your venue look like? i would love to see the colors before i match flowers and colors. also waht color is your bridal party wearing? i am thinking how beautiful it would be to put them in the a soft shade like lavender, periwinkle or lilac. you will find alot of dresses in these color names that look just like wisteria color. then have soft creamsicle, white and wisteria with the lighter purple in the bouquets. i found a cake with the idea i have just change the deep pink for a lilac or lavender roses. like in bouquet. have the reception in white linens with a mix of the colors in simple centerpieces. not overdone just a spring garden style.
andrea, now for your bouquet. i am thinking this with the lavender roses, isnt it one of the most beautiful and unique bouquets ever!! i am in LOVE with this bouquet!!! it looks like it got fresh cut straight from a garden!!
Purple vases?
Hello!
My wedding is on 23 May 2009.My wedding dress is quite simple cream-ivory colour with (i will attach the model).I wanted for theme white-cream-pink or punch and purple…The party planner suggest for our budget white with purple ,because is not a night wedding..but i don’t no if it’s ok with my dress ,and also our wedding invitation’s are white with champagne…and inside with purple writing.I’d like romantic ,pritty and happy ,also elegant spring wedding with roses and lillis and also candles and butterflies.What do you suggest for wedding theme colours,wedding and bride flower…and groom suit(he has blond hair and blue eyes).Please help me also with flower girls dresses,i will have 2 little girls and 3 grown up friends of mine.
PS ………..and i forgot to ask if fordecoration and theme i can use white/ivory-purple-silver ?
Thank you
betty, that dress is gorgeous!! and purple will go, it is actually been considered more romantic than pink. its so romantic!! have the simple black suits or tuxes, this will be the best compliment for a romantic theme. i wouldnt add color vests etc. only a color bout. you can have black and off white if you prefer(i think champagne would look nice, even against your dress, if you want color vest) so yes go with the purple. it is a fab color!! i dont think i would add the pink, if it means alot to you have it in touches here and there, like on the cake or in your bouquet.
*Jim Hjelm Occasions Bridesmaid ( this is the link that has gorgeous backgrounds, so romantic, this would work if you wanted pink as a main color) check them all out ( each bridesmaid dress category)
( i do love the idea having the flower girls in champagne with purple or black sashes.( i just think the black will make it look sooo romantic) and the bm put them in either black, champagne or purple. i prefer purple( a soft lighter shade) it will compliment the darker purple flowers. you could even consider champagne linens in the reception. now go to theknot.com ( you may have to sign up but i promise it will be worth it, its free) go to wedding photos then purple details. check out these weddings, i wish i could list them all!! i will post my faves though.

erica10, do you have any fave colors? what color is your venue? what about a simple green and white wedding? they are gorgeous. pull in colors through food and have colored guest book etc. this is such a beautiful yet simple combo. if you want color think about adding a third color of yellow or coral. you could even go against the grain and choose a multi colored flower wedding and put girls in a shade of yellow, just choose mixed bouquets. here are some colors you can browse maybe something will pop out! the coral is just beautiful it could be dressed up or down! what a rare combo this is standout quality!!

Help, I am helping my cousin with her May 23rd wedding. She has chosen Champagne, Chocolate & Burnt Orange. the bride has a ivory/champagne dress the groom and bm, grooms men in a chocolate suite mh, bridesmaid in burnt orange. The only flowers she has are cali lilies. she has no theme and no budget for me to work with. I need help with a spring theme, decorations, and accessories.
sabrina hi!! this is gonna be amazing! i love these colors!! calla lillies are spectacular as well as tulips. themes are not a must. themes can make it easier but you can certainly plan without one. if you want a theme just use a simple It’s Spring!!. keep it simple and use what nature offers to give a spectacular setting. the links i provide will give make the wedding planning a breeze!! the key for spring is to keep it happy and with these colors it will be that! stick with a simple table setting white linens with glass vases of calla lilies, have bm carry white calla lilies with beautiful wide satin burnt orange or green ribbon. the greenery will stand out. bride can carry a mix of white and orange or just orange callas. simple calla boutonnieres. white for groom orange for gm. calla lilies can be expensive, so ask your florist some budget friendly alternatives if they are out of the bridal budget range. i cant say enough how beautiful it would be with inexpensive paper lanterns in spring green and white. have the cake in simple spring green and white for a break from the burnt orange. have simple silver accessories, this will make it stand out. have bm wear silver accessories, if their skintone works with it, otherwise… have gifts of beautiful jewery perfect for their attire in the metallic that does.
head here snippetandink.com and type in budget friendly weddings, it will show so many wonderful ideas! click older posts for even more.

hi jessica,
actually you can have all of these. have bm and guys in navy blue. then have your florals in beautiful shades of pale yellow and dreamsicle orange. have simple white linens reception accented by navy blue napkins, silverware(for the silver), and the floral colors in centerpieces. for an added touch add a simple bloom at each placesetting, lay atop the napkin. hope this helps!! i think it will be gorgeous!
I also found a very pretty purple,aqua and black pictures. I like to purple and blue. I dont know what to do. What would look better lime and aqua. Purple and Peacock. all of them or any combo. I have no idea what to do.
allie, what is your 1st choice in colors? what type of vision are you wanting? so i can give you some more ideas! smile! was you wanting black in your wedding? if so, have bm in black, with these colors set against it. amazing!! want to pull black in somewhere else? keep it simple touches only and tie black ribbon around favors.

Having a March 6, ‘10 wedding. What colors should I chose?! It isn’t quite Spring but Winter is over with. Where I’m from, it’s possible it can snow. HELP!
megan, one word green!
from winter evergreens to the new greenery coming to life in spring, green. just beautiful. ive read many times that a green/white color scheme it is practically failproof. As in most of my posts i stand by wear again dresses, and this would be perfect for your wedding!! love the idea of nothing but greenery for centerpieces and arch, ribbons puddling to the floor for pew markers, add candlelight, consider letting your bm carry their fave single type flower in yours or their fave color. in a green and white wedding it will work and be beautiful, green goes with everything!! smile!!
then you select your bouquet carrying the amazing combo of their type flowers along with your fave flower. but if you use flowers in arch i would cut costs by choosing your fave flower with lots of greenery. and i wouldnt worry that your “caught between seasons”. i dont know your location but check with a florist to see what flowers are available. (if you dont like my bouquet idea) where i am from spring flowers are already available in march, tulips(which would work with this color scheme so well!), freesia, snapdragons, etc.
i cant stress enuf about using branches for decor. they look fantastic and fit a march wedding. set in vases with or without suspended candles are so pretty and budget friendly!! if you live where you could collect your own then they could be free!! google image wedding branches

Megan,
We live in North Dakota so I know what you mean when you say you could have snow in March. You could always go with shades of purple, which is a good choice for any time of year. It would work great for the end of winter but also so perfect for Spring. It will be close to Easter and that is the most beautiful color for then. Add white and silver or something like that and it would be a perfect wedding. It would be so rich looking and with the right flowers could certainly be a beautiful Spring wedding. At that time of the year, eveyone is ready for Spring and will welcome a beautiful Spring wedding to raise their winter spirits.
I need some Ideas… I am getting married May 2009 and my colors are the classic Black & White but my highlight colors are Tiffany Blue and Silver. I have been looking for a centerpiece and boquets. I have died orchid and calla lillys for my flowers. I cant figure out how to arrange them and if I should add anything else with it. Now I am not into the Tiffany box or anything like that i really like classy crystals. Any Ideas???
ok i am really overwhelmed right now. i have been trying to pick out colors for our wedding but i just cant seem to cordinate my colors that i want. i am getting married at a falls park in or around august or september. i really like the bold colors and want to use hot pink and soft pink and white. so the brides maids will wear hot pink dresses what color of flowers should they hold and what color should i hold? are these colors ok to use? please help i just want some ideas.
What a gorgeous cake & cake presentation for spring! This from macguys.
Hi Tara, welcome! I love metallics, and bronze is so wonderful and not overdone.
I’m drawn to color pairs across the color wheel, so the first thing that comes to mind here is a light spring green. Imagine a bit of bronze combined with lilies of the valley … gorgeous.
But, all tones of purple are very huge this year and that also looks lovely with bronze (and also with spring green!) … I’m picturing lilac. What do you think? I’ll ponder this a bit more. So far I am loving this mentally.
My wedding date is June 13 of this year and I have chosen bronze for the girls dresses. It is a more appropriate color for a fall wedding but I loved the color.
What colors can I add (eg for centerpieces)that will brighten things up for a spring wedding?
