A spring wedding can be held anywhere, though you will want a venue that has an option for an indoor ceremony, unless you plan on renting a tent in case of inclement weather. When thinking of décor, take advantage of all the gorgeous flowers in bloom like peonies, cherry blossoms, tulips or daffodils. 

We love the idea of providings guests with a fun umbrella or parasol in case of rain.

Need vendors for your spring wedding? These pros specialize in this style.

Spring weddings are those held in the months of March, April and May. When we think spring wedding, we immediately think lush florals and soft pastels like lavender, sky blue, peach and butter yellow. Some popular wedding styles in spring include soft romance, vintage, rustic and whimsical weddings.

If you are leaning toward a spring wedding, you're in luck because it's not nearly as popular a season for weddings as summer and fall. You're much more likely to get lower prices on your venue and other wedding vendors. However, because the weather can be unpredictable, no matter where you end up getting married, you'll definitely want to have a backup plan if you're thinking of having an outdoor ceremony. 

These wedding videos will give you the inspiration for all your spring wedding, plus the vendors and brands who can make them happen.
