The colors couples choose for their weddings set the tone for the entire day, and spring offers a canvas that changes dramatically from early March to mid-June. From muted, soft tones when the first blooms appear to brighter, lush colors as greenery fills the season, every detail changes with the calendar. We’re sharing six palettes inspired by real weddings that show how couples and designers are embracing the season to create unique, memorable celebrations.
1. Sunny & Sweet
Butter yellow is one of this season’s most talked-about wedding colors, and this cheerful palette lets it shine. Pair soft butter yellow with bold yellow accents, crisp white, and classic black for a look that feels fresh, bright, and full of joy. This combination is perfect for spring weddings (or vow renewals!) that celebrate love with a little extra sunshine.

2. Chic Contrast
This sophisticated palette brings together colors that sit opposite each other on the color wheel. Softly muted tones keep the combination feeling refined rather than bold, creating a romantic mix of warm and cool hues. The result is a palette that feels modern, artistic, and harmonious for a stylish spring celebration.

6. Jewel Toned Wildflower
Early and late spring weddings can feel worlds apart, and this palette proves it. For an early spring celebration, the couple embraced rich, jewel-toned colors (deep emerald, sapphire, and ruby) traditionally seen in winter weddings. These vibrant hues were paired with a whimsical, colorful wildflower aesthetic, creating a striking balance between transformational seasons.
