Spring has sprung

May is one of my favourite months in Italy. The city’s so green that you almost forget you’re in a city at all, the days are lovely and long again, and the warm spring light never fails to bring a smile to my face. 


Spring is also a fantastic wedding season. Not only is it not too hot and not too cold, but spring trends always lend themselves perfectly to a charming, pretty and unique wedding. 

Although there always needs to be a contingency plan, an outdoor reception becomes an option in spring, and the beauty of the outdoors lends itself to a very fresh, natural theme.

One of the best things about springtime is that so many beautiful flowers are in season, and you can take your pick from any number of them for your bouquet and decorations. 

Daisies and peonies are solid spring favourites, and the combination of smaller and larger blooms creates a playful feel.

Every spring, pastel colours are bang on trend, and if traditional bouquets aren’t your cup of tea, there’s no need to settle for a sphere of roses. For spring, I love garden-style bouquets and centrepieces, which have the look of just-picked flowers and incorporate pastel shades with bright natural greens: simple but gorgeous for a fresh feel to your big day. 

Pastels and neutrals compliment the green all around to create a real spring feeling, and combinations of pastel hues make for a whimsical feel. 

Use coral, peach or blush as accent colours to create a gorgeous, girly wedding. Sage or mint tones are ideal for springtime elegance if you’d prefer something less pink, or a mixture of pastels can be happily put together if you'd love a vintage-inspired day. 

Keep your background colours neutral – think simple whites, creams, or champagnes – to highlight your accent colours beautifully.
