Spring wedding colour palettes

The right colour palette is key to bringing any wedding day look together and in spring there are plenty of options to choose from. These popular spring wedding colours offer something for every style, from soft and romantic to modern and refined.

Soft pastels

Blush pink, lavender and sage green are timeless spring favourites. These shades create a gentle, romantic feel and work beautifully across bridesmaid dresses, flowers and table styling.

Fresh botanical greens

For a more natural look, mix eucalyptus, olive and fern tones with white. These shades look amazing with outdoor venues and bring a fresh, organic feel to your wedding décor.

Elegant neutral tones

Champagne, ivory and soft gold offer a more understated palette. These tones feel effortlessly sophisticated and work well for classic or formal spring weddings.

Spring wedding decor ideas

Spring is the perfect time to embrace nature-inspired styling, with fresh florals, soft textures and pretty details. The key to beautiful spring wedding decor ideas and themes is to keep everything feeling light, natural and in keeping with the season.

Here are some simple ways to style your spring wedding:

• Statement florals: Frame your ceremony or top table with blossom arches or hanging floral installations for instant wow factor.
• Garden-inspired tables: Layer soft linens or gingham fabrics with delicate flowers and natural textures, like wood, for a relaxed, elegant look.
• Seasonal blooms: Peonies, ranunculus, tulips, lily of the valley, gypsophila and sweet peas bring colour, texture and fragrance.
• Floral touches: From pressed flower place cards to flower-filled baskets for your bridal party, small details can add a lovely seasonal feel.
• Fresh scent styling: Incorporate lavender or herbs like rosemary into bouquets and tables for a subtle, natural fragrance.

• Blossom features: Artificial blossom trees create a beautiful ceremony backdrop and can be reused for your reception.
• Rustic details: Use trellis boards, wooden pallets or peg displays for table plans to add a countryside-inspired touch.
• Spring centrepieces: Pots of daffodils, fresh fruit bowls or vintage floral china create simple but impactful table styling.

• Soft pastel or mix 'n' match bridesmaids' dresses: Sage green or soft lavender bridesmaids dresses look amazing in spring, or curate a mixed selection of perfect pastels.
• Seasonal food and drink: Serve floral cocktails and light seasonal dishes. Asparagus, artichokes, wild garlic, Jersey Royal potatoes and Isle of Wight tomatoes are all in season, as are early cherries, apricots, grapefruit, and rhubarb. Spring lamb is also a perfect choice for your main.
• Thoughtful favours: Wildflower seed packets are an eco-friendly choice guests can enjoy long after the day.
