Bright colors radiating with a lively appeal are the hallmarks of spring wedding colors. Spring is the season of blossoming and rebirth in which anything fresh is considered sizzling. A wedding theme always plays a major role especially with the abundance of colors in spring. Although it's no sin to indulge in a broad color palette for spring, settling on a few bright colors helps to realize a trendy but elegant theme.

Spring is always associated with a lively interplay of blossoms, and with that comes preppy light colors that describe the season. Before choosing a color, think of one or two or three flowers in-bloom that appeals most to you and use these as base of colors for a spring wedding theme. It helps to facilitate selection of decorations, centerpieces, favors, and of course, beautiful floral arrangements that is one of the essential elements of a wedding. Can you imagine a wedding without flowers? Probably not, for even the most sophisticated, urban weddings have beautiful flower ensembles.

Getting Started

It is important to ask your florists for the seasonal flowers in bloom in your area and then start from there unless you want the flowers to travel all the way from the West Coast to New York. Springtime can extract a lot of your creativeness and practicality.

If one color appeals most to you but would like two more colors into the theme, spring color patterns for weddings include these combinations: ivory and pastel green, white and pink, white and lavender, pastel green and dark green, ivory and light blue, white and ivory, chocolate and pink, chocolate and light blue, light blue and pastel green, as well as orange and pink. It should be easy to find these colors with the abundance of blossoms in spring.

Three spring wedding colors are also sensational and may be a combination of these colors: white, ivory, and pink; ivory, lavender, and pastel green; ivory, sage, and lavender; ivory, pink, and sage; white, ivory, and mocha; pastel green, pink, and lavender; white, ivory, and periwinkle; as well as white, mocha, and light blue.

On the other hand, the fiery hues of reds, oranges, and yellow create a vibrant look for your wedding. The soft hues of pinks resemble love and are very feminine, while a palette rich in blue, lavenders, and purples is soothing to the eyes and senses while representing royalty, happiness, spirituality and growth.

Select from these spring wedding colors that truly radiate with life, that is, if you have no favorite colors in mind. Light colors such as pastels are the colors of springtime so spare the pale, dull, neutral colors in autumn. One thing to remember when choosing colors for a spring wedding is to avoid overusing "black". Although black is a trendy, elegant color too much of it in your theme will make the occasion seem more like a funeral.

The spring wedding colors you choose will, at least, be the predominant colors in your theme which would go with the chosen flowers for the bridal bouquet, flowers for the bridesmaids, tablecloths, centerpieces, favors, decorations, invitations, and so on – so make sure the colors were chosen carefully. You don't want to look at photos of your wedding years later with remorse in your heart for choosing such combinations.

Apply the colors you chose into the various wedding essentials as in tying multi-colored flowers in plain, pastel bows or the other way around – one type of flower to patterned twines or bows.

Spring colors also differentiate the season in which you are tying the knot. More so, your chosen colors frames your wedding distinctively from the rest. They add personal touch to the celebration because you, yourself, chose them. This will help the guests remember what kind of wedding they attended, whether the color combinations were a disaster or rich in pizzazz.
