Ways to Play with Spring Wedding Colors:

• Use your florals as the main attraction for spring colors for weddings, including bouquets, centerpieces, table runners, wreaths, arches, and photo backdrops.
• Match or complement with the bridal party attire. Black and neutrals work well with a bold bridal spring wedding color palette, soft pastels add whimsical flourishes, bold tones turn up the style and expression—you know the drill!
• Use your venue to your advantage. Soft, rustic backdrops work beautifully with both light and rich color schemes, while deep, intense venue colors pair best with neutrals, luxe shimmer, and complementary jewel tones.
• Don’t limit “best wedding colors for spring” to pastels. They’re pretty, but they’re by no means your only option. May wedding colors can be all about moody blues and dark black hues, for example—not just soft pink and daffodil yellow.
• Integrate wedding colors into your invites, place cards, stationery, signage, and favors.
• Don’t forget the food! Florals and flourishes are perfect for the banquet table, food truck, dessert trays, and drink dispensers.
• Don’t be afraid to mix and match. Overly manicured spring colors for weddings have slowly lost their hold. Brides today are more about personalized details and organic aesthetics. It’s the best way to make a celebration feel truly yours.

Spring Wedding Colors: Botanical Sage & Ivory

First up are the neutral classics: a lovely sage and soft ivory, inspired by that first glimpse of greenery after a mellow spring snowstorm. This combo is chic, sophisticated, and versatile—not to mention an effortless choice for your florist. (You can easily source these hues yourself, or a professional vendor can give you a range of stylish options to fit your budget.)

These floral hues are also a top choice for reception décor and spring wedding colors 2022. The pairing is beautiful on table runners, centerpieces, wedding arches, and more.

Colors for a Spring Wedding: Sunset Inspired Peach & Orange

Peach and orange hues are often associated with tropical beach weddings. Make them work for a spring celebration by lightening the saturation and experimenting with delicate floral flourishes. This bride’s soft, rounded arrangement is such a gorgeous focal point for her portraits!

Speaking of arrangements, it’s important to consider how the shape and structure of your florals changes the look and feel of your palette. Traditional rounded bunches look classic and formal, while looser, handtied arrangements are more edgy and boho. A selection of peach and orange will look soft and elegant in the former, while the same combo will appear more wild and romantic in the latter. Whatever strikes your fancy, be sure to think about how this structure appears in photos, matches the rest of your venue and décor, and complements your wedding dress.

This bride paired her traditional arrangement with a black-tie wedding gown, Aston by Sottero and Midgley. This style is a gorgeous combo of new and vintage details… The silhouette is sleek and sexy, but the jeweled embellishments evoke old-school glamour. Moody April wedding colors: found!

It’s an eye-catching design that looks stunning with more formal wedding details, from the lush bouquet to the red-carpet accessories. (And the statement back is nothing short of divine.)

Spring Wedding Colors: Dreamy Violets & Blues

Ok, so we’ll totally admit, a lot of wedding colors for spring are all about the pink and yellow vibe. It’s all too easy to neglect the gorgeous cool spectrum of blue, purple, violet, and magenta… a surprising and ultra-romantic choice for watercolor bouquets and artistic flourishes.

This bride chose a gorgeous blue and lilac palette for her spring celebration. We love the monochromatic effect going on here… It’s a little sweet, a little moody, and 100% chic. It’s also such a luxe trend for bridesmaid gowns. These ladies look positively radiant in their iris-colored frocks, a leading trend for spring wedding colors 2022.

This is another gorgeous hue for outdoor venues. The purple pops against trees and greenery, and it’s a lovely flourish for placeholders, party favors, tablecloths, and more. (And the groom’s blue suit is so sharp and unexpected!) You heard it here first: This amethyst wedding palette is sure to stand out in a sea of spring pastels.

For a spring palette inspired by all things bright, beautiful, and blooming, look to reds and greens. This palette is typically paired with fall and winter palettes, which makes it an extra delectable choice for spring. The crimson reminds us of new birds flying back for warm weather. The green is elegant. The browns and magentas add a sophisticated contrast. We vote this is very much a spring wedding vibe, indeed.

This bride chose to wear her hair loose and lush for her celebration. We love this vibe for spring… It matches the joy and adventure of the season, but still looks romantic as a formal bridal style.
