Key Takeaways

  • Spring weddings offer endless color palette options, from classic pastels like lavender and pink to bold hues like mustard yellow and cerulean blue.
  • Pairing unexpected colors, such as butter yellow with sage or navy with orange, can create a unique and memorable wedding design.
  • Incorporating seasonal elements like fresh greenery, terracotta tones, or ombré pastels can beautifully reflect the vibrancy of spring.

Spring is typically associated with budding flowers, bright green grass, and soft rain showers, but in the world of weddings, it's a season of fresh colors that represent new life and a new union. In most regions in the United States, spring also marks the beginning of wedding season, when it's the prime time for couple to host a ceremony and reception. After picking a venue and setting the date, the next most important task on your pre-nuptial to-do list will be selecting the day's overarching color palette. Luckily, this season offers so many stunning options to choose from.

If you're tying the knot in late March, April, May, or early June, why not draw inspiration from the world around you when selecting your celebration's color palette? These are so many seasonal hues to consider—like verdant greens, pastel pink and blue, and daffodil yellow—but you can also create unique, unexpected combinations that speak to springtime and your personal style.

Here, we're sharing 24 editor-approved color palettes for spring weddings. And if you're not inspired by one of these combinations, know that you should feel empowered to dream up your own mix—this is your wedding day, after all, and any color palette you love is appropriate for your big day, no matter what time of year you're tying the knot.

Welcome the sunny weather of the season with cheery yellow shades, which can star in your flowers, linens, and other décor items, just as the hue did at this couple's wedding in Texas. To temper that bright hue, pair it with a soft, pastel pink.

If you're looking for a neutral color combination that works nicely with pops of spring colors, consider employing ivory and honey as your base. At this destination wedding in Mexico, the planning team at Callista & Company created a layered, textural tablescape with an ivory lace linen that was paired with honey-colored candles and ceramic dinnerware. Bud vases of punchy blooms added more dimension to each table.

If you want a moody color palette for your spring wedding, know that you can use jewel tones for your seasonal nuptials. Winter’s beloved gemstones can absolutely be given a fresh new life for spring, as evidenced by this celebration in Portugal: Think lavender instead of deep purple, spring green instead of emerald, fuchsia instead of burgundy, and grounding navy.

Pastel Sunset

If bold and bright isn't your thing, know that you can still channel a sunset in your springtime celebration. A muted palette of pastel sunset shades, which was used at one couple's Palm Springs nuptials, is a softer take on the color combination and looks beautiful against the season's just-grown grass and blue skies.

While pastels are perennially popular for spring, there's no rule that says you have to shy away from bright hues when planning a wedding during this season. In fact, today's couples are accenting their celebrations with vibrant shades such as hot pink, mustard yellow, cerulean blue, and even orange. There is, after all, something dynamic and fiery about intense colors, as evidenced by this celebration in North Carolina.

Looking for a color-forward palette for your spring nuptials? We love the unexpected pairing of yellow and green. To keep things more subtle, pair butter yellow with sage; for a bolder look, choose a more saturated army green and a sunny yellow, like this pair did for their nuptials in Portugal.

Blue has the added benefit of being particularly meaningful for weddings: the color signifies loyalty and strength, two things many of us look for in our relationships. So, if you want to double down on this important hue, pair navy and pale blue in your reception, just as this couple did for their Florida nuptials. The pairing gives you décor instant depth and dimension.

Green and White, With a Twist

Green and white is arguably the most classic, neutral wedding color palette, with season-less appeal. That doesn't mean you can't use it for your spring wedding, though. At this springtime celebration at a vineyard in Texas, the bride and groom employed a green and white palette in their own unique way. Instead of choosing one shade of green, they brought in a variety of different hues, including emerald, olive, and sage; mixing a few shades of the same color into one palette makes for a more unexpected combination and more nuanced wedding décor.

All-White

An all-white wedding is a timeless option any time of year, but especially in the springtime. To modernize your celebration, just like this couple did for their flower-free nuptials in Virginia, choose your details carefully—all-white décor can read super classic, so if your taste skews more contemporary, choose more of-the-moment dinnerware and decorative accents.

Earthy Neutrals

You don’t have to skip out on earth tones and a neutral palette just because you're tying the knot in the spring. Neutral hues—ivory, cream, champagne, beige—are widely used throughout the spring season. To add a little dimension to your décor, make like this couple, who tied the knot in Santa Barbara, and bring in subtle pops of color via your favorite dusty pastel shade.

Soft Gray

Gray is an excellent shade to incorporate into your wedding-day palette to create a soft neutral tone to your designs. Use gray and silver dinnerware as a chic complement to white florals for a clean, minimal look. At this watercolor-inspired spring wedding in Texas, the couple paired a soft gray with pops of blue for a more nuanced design, but you can feel free to work in any secondary hue you like.

Our editors love blue for a spring wedding, especially when you take a tonal approach to the hue, mixing a variety of different shades of the same color together. Blue tones ranging from deep indigo to baby blue can create a dreamy effect throughout a wedding ceremony in spring, as evidenced by this wedding in North Carolina.
