As the flowers bloom and the days grow longer, spring weddings embrace a season of renewal, color, and fresh beginnings. This year, couples are stepping away from tradition and infusing their celebrations with vibrant hues, organic floral arrangements, and immersive guest experiences. Here are some of the most exciting trends shaping spring weddings in 2025, as shared by top Minnesota wedding industry experts.
1. Fruity & Fresh Tablescapes
"Incorporating fresh fruit into your tablescape brings a vibrant, natural touch while introducing a refreshing, seasonal element to your wedding," says Melody Hall of Events by Melody. "Consider fruits like pears, grapes, lemons, and more. Whether featured in a floral centerpiece or scattered across the table, fresh fruit enhances the visual appeal and adds a charming, natural element to your celebration." This simple yet stunning decor choice infuses color and texture into your reception, making it both eye-catching and deliciously fragrant.
2. Bold & Blooming Florals
Spring is synonymous with flowers, and vibrant floral arrangements make a striking impact. “Bright blooms pack a bold punch on a wedding day. There is nothing like sealing the deal with stunning floral. Impactful stems are the perfect way to bring all your wedding colors together in perfect harmony - just like you and your partner!” shares Nicole Coon of Event Lab. A well-designed floral arrangement sets the tone for the entire celebration, filling the air with seasonal beauty.
3. Coral Peonies
Few flowers capture the essence of spring quite like coral peonies. Their lush, ruffled petals and vibrant hues add a breathtaking touch to bouquets and centerpieces. Candace Holmstadt of 651 Studio & Floral Design loves incorporating these stunning blooms into spring weddings, as they bring a sense of romance, freshness, and seasonal charm to any floral arrangement.
4. Soft & Flowing Wedding Attire
A light, flowy dress in soft shades perfectly embodies the spirit of spring. Malia Glaraton of Summit Hill Studios suggest, “Maybe everyone is in a floor-length dress, but they get to choose their favorite shade, sleeve style, and accessories.” Floral patterns and personalized touches make the wedding party look cohesive yet unique, bringing a bright and cheerful feel to the photos.
5. Enhancing Naturally Beauty
Embracing the natural beauty of the venue enhances the magic of a spring wedding. “By incorporating subtle decor and maximizing the outdoor courtyard, their celebration felt both intimate and expansive,” says Evy Geitzenauer of Bellagala | Equestria West Bavaria Downs. "Rather than overwhelming the space, they highlighted the season with soft blue accents, ivory roses, and romantic lighting. Thoughtfully chosen details - floral arrangements, warm string lights, and the venue’s natural charm - created an unforgettable setting that celebrated both the couple and Minnesota’s stunning landscape."
6. Reimagined Table Layouts
Rethinking traditional table setups can transform the reception experience. “Caterpillar tables create a uniquely playful, organic setup that keeps guests connected, while serpentine tables add elegant curves - perfect for lush floral runners,” suggests the Festivities Design Team. "Pair them with creative tablescapes, and you’ve got a stunning, one-of-a-kind reception!"
7. Spring Blooms in Unexpected Places
Small floral details make a big impact. “Add a soft springy touch with a fresh flower at every place setting!” suggests Lily Hansen of HappiLily Events. Whether it’s a dainty bloom like Bluebelles or a pastel bouquet, these floral touches enhance the seasonal charm of your wedding.
8. Ensuring Entertainment for Everyone
Ensuring entertainment options for all guests is key to a lively celebration. “Getting to know your band or DJ is important so they can better understand you and your guests before the event, but also providing activities for non-dancers is essential,” says Eryka Wienke of Hope Glen Farm & Treehouse. "For example, having a photobooth, yard games, build a bouquet bar, foam glow sticks or late-night snack are some fun ideas for everyone."
9. Embracing the Outdoors
Embrace the beauty of the season by incorporating outdoor elements. “After a long winter indoors, guests appreciate the opportunity to enjoy fresh air and blooming surroundings,” says Sarah Trotter of Lasting Impressions Weddings. "Hosting a cocktail hour or ceremony outside is a wonderful way to celebrate the arrival of spring."
10. Lawn Games
Interactive entertainment ensures guests stay engaged. “Embrace the spirit of spring with lawn games that get your guests laughing, mingling, and making unforgettable memories,” shares Kailey Levin of The Marquette Hotel & Windows at Marquette. "From classic cornhole to oversized Jenga, the options are endless!"
11. Transformative Lighting & Greenery
The right lighting can completely transform a venue. “Our lighting team will orchestrate your wedding lighting from the time your guests arrive until they leave,” says Sandy Vogel of Uptown Theater. “Moving patterns and venue lighting customized to your color palette bring energy to your event like nothing else.” Incorporating greenery, trees, and twinkling lights creates an immersive, magical atmosphere.
12. Celebrating Your Ceremony with a Living Symbol
A tree planting unity ceremony is a sentimental way to symbolize a couple’s journey. “It is especially lovely when the ‘tree’ is a lilac bush or a spring-blooming tree like a magnolia or crabapple,” says Dawn Dacut of Flutterby Celebrations & Ceremonies. “When the couple adds soil to the tree during the ceremony, they are symbolizing the beginning of growth. They will nurture the tree with water, fertilizer, annual trimming, and protection. At the same time, they will nurture their marriage with love, understanding and trust. It is a beautiful thing to see the tree thrive and know your marriage is thriving alongside it; it’s a life-long commitment."
