What to consider for a spring wedding
Spring typically, well… springs roughly from March and lasts until close to the end of May. At this time, we start to see the temperature rise, accompanied by new buds of flowers and clearer skies starting to emerge. As a result, this is a time where outdoor weddings become a more viable option again. If you’re planning a spring wedding, you may therefore want to consider a venue that celebrates this blossoming of nature with plenty of outdoor areas and surrounding greenery. In addition, while it might be sunny, the temperature is sure to drop significantly as the evening goes on. Heavier fabrics and bridesmaid dress styles featuring more material could be considerations. Summer in the UK often takes a while to get going after all.
Spring colours for bridesmaid dresses
There are many options for bridesmaid dresses in colours that are perfect for the spring season. This includes:
Pastel blues
Deep blues and light blues are perfect for spring as they embody the clear skies that often appear during the period. This palette can then be accented with complimentary seasonal colours such as a dusty pink. Blue pastels can also achieve a great contrast in photos, when the bridal party is standing amongst the décor of the wedding venue. In fact, pastel bridesmaid dresses in many colours can create a lovely look at this time of year due to their subtle shades.
Light pinks
Light pinks or even champagne bridesmaid dresses are a classic colour choice between March and April. This soft palette creates a romantic atmosphere whilst also bringing a sense of calm to the event.

Plain whites and greens
Spring is a ‘clean’ season with crisp air, clear skies and green grass. This essence of new life and new beginnings can be captured through simple white and/or green bridesmaid dresses.

Greys
