March – May
Spring Weddings
Soft palettes, peak floral availability, and the most photogenic light of the year.
Spring is the second-most-popular wedding season in the US after fall. Expect mild temperatures, full floral inventory at florists, and the lowest pollen-and-bug count of the warm months. The catch: weather is unpredictable, so always have an indoor backup.

When is spring wedding season in the US?
Late March through late May is considered spring wedding season, with peak demand in the second half of April and all of May once Easter has passed.
What are the best spring wedding colors?
Soft pastels — blush, sage, lavender, buttercream, and powder blue — dominate spring weddings. They photograph beautifully against natural light and full-bloom florals.
Is spring or fall better for weddings?
Fall has slightly more bookings, but spring offers wider florist inventory and milder temperatures. Spring is the better choice for outdoor garden weddings; fall wins for vineyards and mountains.
