Everything You Need to Know to Make Your Spring Wedding Bloom
If Spring is your favorite time of year, trust us, you’re not alone. With the blooming flowers, rising temperatures and longer days, it’s no surprise it’s one of the most popular seasons in which to get married. With all nature has to offer during the Spring, the perfect setting is created just by walking outside. However, if you’re planning to be a Spring bride, there are probably a few more things you’ll want to consider to really make your wedding bloom.
Spring Color Trends
Your Spring wedding color inspiration can be found by looking around you this time of year at the bright flowers, blue skies and pastel themes everywhere you go. Spring is all about colors, but it’s important to know the right ones to use.
~ Lemon yellow is a Springtime favorite because of its brightness and ability to brighten up a space. If you include yellow in your wedding, there’s no doubt it will bring cheer to everyone in attendance.
~ Greens are also a must in a Spring wedding. With Spring being all about nature, green simply highlights the naturalistic feel to your big day.
~ You can’t go wrong with pink and light blue, although, we recommend choosing one or the other. You don’t want your wedding to look like a gender reveal party. These colors separately can be very versatile, and being pastels will create a soft elegance to your wedding.
~ Be sure to get some white in the mix as well to accent the colors you’ve chosen. White will help those colors to stand out more, while also holding them back from being too overwhelming.
