fresh looks for spring ‘I do’s’: wedding fashion tips for everyone
Spring is a season of new beginnings, blooming flowers, and—of course—beautiful weddings. With nature putting on its most colorful show, it's no wonder that spring weddings are some of the most romantic and stylish affairs. But with the changing weather and a variety of dress codes, figuring out what to wear can be a challenge. Whether you’re the bride, groom, part of the bridal party, or a guest, dressing appropriately while embracing the season’s charm is key. Here’s your guide to nailing spring wedding attire with style and confidence.
For the Bride: Light, Airy, and Elegant
Spring brides have the luxury of choosing from a wide range of gown styles. Soft fabrics like chiffon, tulle, and organza work beautifully with the season’s gentle breezes. Consider romantic silhouettes with floral lace appliqués, illusion sleeves, or a touch of color—like blush, soft lavender, or even pale blue. Shorter hemlines and convertible gowns are also trending, perfect for outdoor ceremonies or garden receptions.
Accessories Tip: Floral hairpieces, lightweight veils, and delicate jewelry complete the fresh, feminine look.

For the Groom: Classic with a Seasonal Twist
Spring allows grooms to move away from heavy black tuxedos and experiment with lighter fabrics and colors. Think tailored suits in light grey, navy, soft beige, or even pastel shades for the bold. Linen-blend or lightweight wool suits are breathable yet polished. Pair with a patterned tie or floral boutonniere to tie into the season’s theme.
Footwear Tip: Brown leather loafers or dress shoes work well for daytime weddings; consider suede for a softer spring feel.

Bridal Party: Coordinated and Color-Conscious
Bridesmaids: Spring palettes shine with soft pastels, garden greens, and floral prints. Mix-and-match dresses in complementary shades are still trending, offering versatility and comfort. Flowy, breathable fabrics like chiffon or satin are ideal for both indoor and outdoor settings.
Groomsmen: Keep the vibe cohesive with the groom’s look—lighter suits with colorful ties or pocket squares that coordinate with the bridesmaids' dresses. Suspenders or vests can add a fun, vintage touch for a less formal feel.

Guests: Dress Code Meets Seasonal Style
Guest attire depends on the wedding's formality, but spring calls for color and charm. Women can opt for midi dresses, floral prints, or pastel jumpsuits. Look for breathable fabrics and consider bringing a stylish wrap or light jacket in case of cool breezes. Men should choose light suits or dress slacks with button-downs and sport coats, leaning into soft hues or subtle patterns.
Pro Tip: Avoid white or anything too bridal-looking, and always check the dress code on the invite.
