Spring is slowly but surely arriving once more, and what better time to celebrate the intertwining of lives than the season of rebirth?

Following the post-pandemic attitude, Spring 2022 promises to be a time filled with tentative exuberance, emotions, reflected in today’s wedding day practices.

Wedding Styles

1. Less is more

As the weather warms up, so have attitudes towards non-traditional wedding attire. Many betrothed couples have opted for little white wedding dresses or playsuits over the more traditional, flouncy wedding gowns.

2. Keep it comfy

Post-COVID wedding days invite far more casual outfits to match a more laidback theme that is growing in popularity.

3. Nostalgia and tradition

Whether due to the plain old nostalgia cycle or popular series like Bridgerton, many brides are choosing to wear older styles of clothing like a Regency wedding dress to pay homage to a bygone era.

Colours

4. Blushing bride

Pastels are a tried-and-true option when it comes to a Spring wedding day’s colour palette; it’s hard to go wrong with soft tones beset amongst neutrals.

5. Loud and proud

In line with a move towards celebratory self-expression, brighter colours are becoming a hit as couples incorporate the riotous hues of the blossoming blooms around them into their wedding day planning.

6. A hit with hygge

There is increased attention towards a more homely, rough spun feel, for 2022 wedding days. Aspects like clay crockery over more typical silverware, as well as uncovered wooden furniture, add a warmer, rustic touch to the event.

Themes

7. Flower power

Any Spring wedding would be remiss to not take advantage of nature’s flowering florals during her most charitable season. A wedding festooned with flowers is a timeless classic while nicely fitting in with the popular cottage core trend.

8. Keeping it green

Strides towards sustainability lend themselves easily to Spring weddings; let a garden setting do the work for you, and gift guests memorable party favours like seed cards.

9. Your wedding, your way!

Alternatively, with the easing of lockdown measures, some couples have instead leaned towards spectacle and complexity. This can manifest itself in several ways, from bouncy castles to backyard recreations of destination weddings, to drag queen performances.

10. Play pretend

Themed ceremonies are always great fun. Following current pop culture trends, no one would bat an eye if your dress code and decor whisper of whimsical fantasy or British aristocratic frippery.

The general vibe going into Spring 2022 seems to be bigger, brighter, and happier. With that attitude in mind, may the weather forecast be in your favour, promising sunshine, and a gentle warm breeze, for your wedding day.
