Why get Married in Spring?

When we think of weddings, images of a lovely, warm summer day automatically come to mind. Yet, getting married during the off-season – such as springtime – has more than one advantage.

Off-season weddings are original and make for beautiful photos, in a setting that is different from the typical summer decors usually featured in wedding albums.

Which season is best for a wedding?

While summer weddings remain the norm, an increasing number of bridegrooms opt for fall, winter, or spring weddings. Besides, each season has its perks. For example, the beautiful fall foliage makes for striking outdoor clichés, while a white, snowy blanket is the perfect backdrop for a cozy, unique photoshoot.

The Perks of a Spring Wedding

The sun rises over dew-sprinkled grass, roses are budding and birds are happily chirping… Spring brings a wind of renewal that has inspired many of the most romantic poems. The list is endless as to why people are drawn to Spring weddings!

Below are a few aspects to consider if you’re still hesitating!

Supplier Availability

When it comes to the wedding industry, Spring is not the busiest season. Fortunately, this means that suppliers will be all the more available to cater to your needs.

This low season is perfect for last-minute lovers who aren’t willing to wait for the customary 1 to 2 years before the actual wedding date. A Spring wedding means more options in all aspects of your planning, from cake sampling to picking the perfect venue, meal and host.

You will even be able to pick your preferred date instead of simply settling for the first availability. Plus, your guests won’t be forced to plan their entire summer holidays around your wedding and save the date will be that much simpler.

Opting for an off-season wedding also means great savings!

Thanks to lower demand, suppliers will be more flexible when it comes to pricing. You’re a lot more likely to get a great deal in the off-season rather than in the summertime when prices tend to inflate along with the increasing demand.

Furthermore, you’ll be able to wow your guests with freshly harvested seasonal flowers at a much lower cost.

Beautiful Spring Themes

There is an infinite array of possibilities when it comes to spring wedding themes!

Budding trees and blossoming flowers automatically come to mind when we think of spring. We also think of softly chirping birds and of nature coming back to life. Lavish flower arrangements are therefore the perfect addition to your special day. Plus, there’s nothing like the scent of fresh-cut tulips, hyacinths and lily-of-the-valley to set a romantic mood.

In fact, spring is the perfect season for a rustic or country-themed wedding.

If that’s not reason enough, soft, pastel hues are trending for 2022 weddings. Not only are colour combos like grey, dusty pink, and lavender timeless, but they form the perfect colour palette to complement nature’s awakening from its winter slumber.

Spring is clearly the way to go if you’re a romantic at heart!

Agreeable Weather

Getting married during a heatwave in the summer or during a snowstorm in the winter is clearly not ideal. During springtime, the weather is still nice and fresh without being outright cold. Brides are therefore at liberty of opting for a more romantic, lacey, long-sleeved dress style. Men will also be much more comfortable in their suits. The light breeze is the perfect excuse to accessorize with stylish shawls.

For pleasant weather, strive for the end of spring such as April or May. Earlier events would most likely result in a slushy setting or a rainy day. Nonetheless, unexpectedly beautiful and out-of-the-ordinary pictures can arise from these temperatures.

A Few Tips for your Spring Wedding

There are many advantages to getting married in the Spring. There are, however, a few precautions to take to ensure that your special day is perfect!

Here are our few tips:

• If you’re planning on holding your ceremony outside, always have a Plan B in case of bad weather. It would even be preferable to opt for a heated tent as most evenings are rather chilly during springtime.
• During early spring, the ground is still too soft and wet to plan outdoor receptions.
• If you have options, opt for a date in May rather than in March or April.
• Do not hesitate to call professionals that are specialized in event planning like Évenements Touch Events or ERIKAco.
• Spring is also an ideal time to switch from common evening ceremonies to a late afternoon brunch.
• Although spring is not the busiest season for weddings, make sure you still start planning ahead of time.
