Pastels are an essential spring wedding colour scheme, and you’ll find Pinterest full of blush pink and periwinkle blue ideas. There’s loads of nontraditional pastel combinations that are a little more unusual and look stunning in the springtime. 

Here’s a few pastel spring wedding colour ideas: • Lemon and peach – A cheerful, citrusy combination. Peach can threaten to look a bit too ’70s, so you need fresh colours for elegance and a contemporary feel. 

Warm yellows, whites and added texture like cherry blossom branches elevate the look • Green and grey – Pale versions of green and grey have the same effect as using neutrals; they make flowers 

and other colours really standout. Think mint, sage or platinum for bridesmaid dresses and lots of marble-effect décor and smoked glassware

• Lilac and white – Lilac and lavender are classic spring colours that looks beautiful against clean white décor. Use it outside expected places like dresses, ties, bouquets and buttonholes; for example, as a lavender-coloured cake, ceiling 

installation of hanging wisteria, velvet table runners and parma violet signature cocktails • Teal and blush – Teal is a bit more unconventional than moss green or mint with blush. It’s darker, richer, and works so well with antique

and vintage touches. Teal is a fantastic colour for stationery too that will really stand out for guests • Icy blue and silver – Cool pastel shades look brilliant in March and early April when we’re transitioning out of winter. 

It’s a super sleek and modern colour scheme, and can be warmed up by splashes of pink and navy

Floral wedding dresses are becoming increasingly popular for their delicate and feminine look. Finding your dream floral dress can be a great starting point for deciding on a colour palette, by drawing out one of the shades in the gown to use as a 

primary or complementary colour.

You can also wear a white gown with floral lace detailing and it’s lovely to use the corresponding real flowers and foliage across your wedding. Think anemones, hyacinths, stephanotises, gardenia and narcissi.

Bold, bright colours definitely have a place in a spring palette. Punchy coral, magenta, cobalt blue, orange and tropical greens look fantastic at destination weddings and modern ceremonies. 

Make a nod towards our move into summer and choose happy, sunny colours that will make guests smile.

If that’s too bright for you, slightly more muted jewel tones like ochre aren’t just for autumn; they look incredible on bridesmaid dresses, place settings and wedding stationery.

The benefits of spring is that the natural world is exploding again with all its amazing tones of colour. You can choose just a single colour for your palette – we love green – and work through the different shades and hues for a harmonised look. 

Have foliage-only bouquets, the wedding party in green (forest or moss green for men in fabrics like tweed or velvet; emerald or sage for women), and living herbs and succulents as centrepieces and favours.

Spring is a gorgeous time for an all-white colour scheme. White is fresh and clean, and you only need hints of colour, like a ribbon wrapped around your bouquet or watercolour splashes on place cards, to make it all pop.
