Springtime is a time of rebirth and renewal as the days grow longer and the temperature rises. Flowers and pastel colors are typical of this season. Both elements work well as part of a spring wedding decor. Viva Wedding Photography recommends taking inspiration for your wedding from the season itself. Read on to find out the things that have us anticipating spring. Remember, though, that you may use these arrangements and ideas year-round.
Spring Wedding Colors for Your Decor
Selecting a color scheme is one of the important tasks before planning your wedding decorations. Opting for springtime hues will infuse your celebration with a vibrant and rejuvenating ambiance. Various seasonal color palettes and unique color combinations created for spring weddings are gaining popularity. Here are some color schemes that are on trend:
1. Earthy neutrals
One of the wonderful aspects of a neutral wedding color palette is its versatility across all seasons. Incorporating soft shades of taupe, khaki, and tan can create a minimalistic and modern aesthetic. However, to embrace the spring season, you can also introduce a few vibrant colors, such as pale yellow or peach. Add a touch of shimmer to the palette by finishing it with metallic copper or gold.
2. Mint Green and Ivory
Mint green, with its airy and soothing qualities, is a spring wedding color that is often overlooked. It complements other pastel colors such as blue, purple, and pink, creating a vintage theme or shabby chic aesthetic. To achieve a sophisticated yet natural aesthetic, consider combining mint green with complementary shades of dark olive or emerald green.
3. Baby Pink and Lilac
Pink and purple are highly sought-after spring wedding colors, and their combination creates a stunning visual appeal. Additionally, you will have an abundance of spring wedding flowers available to complement your color scheme perfectly. This color scheme is perfect for an outdoor wedding or one with a whimsical, romantic atmosphere.
4. Navy Blue, White, and Gold
If you are planning a black-tie event, this traditional spring wedding color scheme would be perfect. Instead of using black as the base color, consider using navy blue. This choice will maintain the same level of formality while adding a unique touch. The color palette is completed with ivory and subtle touches of gold, creating a sophisticated and timeless look.
5. Pastel rainbow colors
The spring season is the perfect time to embrace a rainbow wedding colour palette. Create a vibrant and cheerful palette by incorporating an array of colors such as pastel blue, purple, pink, yellow, and orange. If you enjoy a maximalist vibe, this rainbow colour scheme is perfect for you. Imagine beautifully intricate place settings, captivating floral installations, and playful decor accents such as balloons or tinsel streamers.
6. All-white
Embrace the timeless elegance and purity of an all-white color palette for your spring wedding decorations. This classic and versatile color scheme allows for endless possibilities, from ethereal floral arrangements to pristine table settings. An all-white spring wedding exudes a sense of simplicity and grace, creating a serene and timeless atmosphere that perfectly complements the season’s renewal and blooming beauty.

Adorn the bar area with abundant fresh flowers, creating a vibrant and inviting display. Incorporate floral-infused beverages, garnishes, and even edible blooms to enhance the sensory experience.
36. Fancy Wedding Cake With Flowers
Flower decorations are a must on a spring wedding cake. The florist will likely have some extra roses, ranunculus, peonies, dahlias, and greenery that they can use to decorate your wedding cake. Flowers made of sugar or gum paste can be used instead of real ones. Naked or semi-naked cakes, or those decorated with ruffles, ribbons, or fondant flowers, are also stunning choices.
37. Cherry Blossom Trees
The addition of spring wedding decor ideas, especially cherry blossom trees, instantly warms up and enlivens any space. Large trees are a great way to fill a room with natural beauty and provide visual interest without overwhelming a high ceiling. Greenery in abundance works well with a woodland or rustic theme, while cherry blossoms are more at home in a formal or fantastical setting.
38. Mini Daffodils Vase
Spring is in the air, and so are bouquets of daffodils and other narcissi, all of which can be had for next to nothing and still look lovely. Use them as a sweet spring centerpiece by placing potted versions on the tables. The bright and cheerful hues of these petite blooms bring a pop of color to your reception tables, creating an atmosphere of joy and renewal.
39. Seating Chart with Flowers
Displaying the seating chart at your spring wedding reception unconventionally, such as on a trellis, pegboard, or rustic mirror, is a great way to inject some originality into the events. What about framing your idea with some beautiful spring wedding flowers? Your guests won’t be able to ignore it!
40. An Aisle Lined With Flowers
One of the famous spring wedding ideas is this stunning floral arrangement, which is not just perfect for a spring event but can be used year-round. Your florist can make it look like plants are growing down your aisle by using a variety of flowers, foliage, and concealed containers. The lush and vibrant display sets the stage for your grand entrance and infuses the entire ceremony with the magic of nature, making each step down the aisle a moment of pure beauty and serenity.
41. Trellis Entwined With Flowers
Infused with the joy of spring, trellises are a beautiful spring wedding decor for any garden.

This addition would definitely set your wedding decorations apart from traditional ones.
42. Blush Flowers Chair Decor
