Spring is the perfect time for a wedding. Beautiful flowers, milder weather, and vibrant scenery create a fresh and beautiful backdrop for your special day. There are plenty of fresh and innovative ideas that you can incorporate. Embrace the beauty of spring and take advantage of the many fabulous floral bouquets and decorations, outdoor venues, and more to make your wedding day truly unique.
Floral Designs for Your Wedding
Spring is all about beautiful flowers and floral arrangements. Incorporate a variety of seasonal blooms and foliage to create stunning bouquets, centerpieces, and decorations. Some of the popular spring flowers in Australia include lilies, poppies, blushing brides, orchids, and beautiful anemones in white. Tulips, iris, and garden roses are popular too. If you adore pinks, reds and whites they are available in abundance in spring in many varieties including the ever romantic rose. You can also use natural materials like wood, moss, and twine to add a rustic charm to your decor.
Fresh Décor
Using greenery in your chandeliers, having a beautiful wedding arch made from twine and natural materials, park weddings where you are surrounded by flowers, fauna, birds and wildlife or gardens at a huge range of wedding venues across Australia will set the scene. Outdoor dining, large marquees in white, beautiful gazebos and bush settings are all fitting for a spectacular spring wedding party. Set the date and start planning!
Utilising Colour
Pastel coloured table arrangements with some beautiful candles, gigantic pink floral arrangements, invitations with spring floral print, and pastel hued wedding shoes are all gorgeous spring accessories. Or why not have flowers everywhere in white and citrus? And don’t forget to include lots of whimsical greenery. Tulips can be a beautiful centrepiece and there are endless choices when it comes to stunning bridal bouquets. Tropical orchids, lilies, and tulips are simply gorgeous.
The spring weather can lend itself to more casual attire with lighter fabrics and colour tones and higher hemlines.
Outdoor Spring Wedding Ceremonies
Take advantage of the beautiful weather and host your ceremony outdoors. Australia has some breathtaking outdoor locations that are perfect for a spring wedding. You can choose a garden, vineyard, or beach location to create a romantic and intimate setting for your ceremony. Just make sure to have a backup plan in case of inclement weather.
Refreshing Beverages
Spring is all about fresh and refreshing drinks. You can serve signature cocktails, mocktails, or fruit-infused water to keep your guests hydrated and refreshed throughout the day. Use seasonal fruits like strawberries, watermelon, and oranges to create a colourful and delicious drink menu. Sangria is light and ever popular, as are shandies, and vodka lemonade.
Scrumptious Cuisine for Spring Weddings
Incorporate local cuisine into your wedding menu to give your guests a taste of the region. You can serve fresh seafood, locally sourced meats, and seasonal vegetables to create a delicious and memorable meal. Risottos, lamb, and scrumptious vegan options are ever popular. Foods that are adorned with a citrus sauce or dressing are a delicious way to bring out a spring theme. Think spring salads rather than heavy comfort foods.
Any dessert that features fruit is a fabulous fit for spring. Delicious cheesecakes, rich chocolate cake with raspberry sauce, or blueberry cupcakes with ice cream are just some ideas that will delight and inspire your guests.
Sustainable Choices
Spring is a time for renewal and growth, and it's important to make sustainable choices that minimise the impact on the environment. Choose eco-friendly vendors, reduce waste, and use natural materials in your decor to create a sustainable and ethical wedding. You can also donate any leftover food or flowers to a local charity to give back to the community.
Interactive Activities
Create interactive activities that engage your guests and create memorable experiences. You can set up lawn games, photo booths, or a DIY flower crown station to keep your guests entertained, excited, and super happy throughout the day.
Spring is a magical time for a wedding. Both my Auntie and sister had their weddings on the first day of spring albeit different years! With good weather beginning to bloom, you can create a truly unique and memorable experience for you and your guests. Whether you choose a laid back event or a prestige celebration, a Spring wedding is bound to bring a fresh start to your married life — wherever you are in the world. Savour every moment.
