Spring Wedding Color Palettes That Aren't Boring Pastels

Winter is finally over and I'm so happy, I could cry. Bring on the warmer weather, longer days, and the return of wedding season—dun, dun, dun. Planning a wedding is overwhelming for, well, a f*ck-ton of reasons. You've got to figure out your "something blue," what you'll do for your engagement photo sesh, decorations for your bachelorette party, what to gift your bridesmaids, and how you want the actual day you say "I do" to look and feel.

For those of you tying the knot in the spring, you've chosen well because you have SO. MANY. fun and bright color palette options! So many, in fact, that narrowing down all the spring wedding color trends is way too tricky for me, especially considering the fact that I've put together exactly zero ring exchanges in my life. Enter: Sarah Haywood, a London-based planner who crafts world-class weddings for society's crème de la crème. (I'm talking Fortune 500 billionaires and literal princesses, people!!)

As a blanket rule, Haywood says you'll want to avoid warm jewel tones (popular for fall weddings) and dusty, muted hues (popular for winter weddings) in favor of fresher, livelier color combinations. "Spring evokes cherry blossom, soft romantic pastel shades with pops of color to echo the nature that bursts at this time of the year," she explains. Whether you’re in full-on planning mode or just daydreaming about your future nuptials, here are 14 spring wedding color trends to save to your vision board.
