The arrival of spring comes with an awakening of energy and a newfound hope for the future. The dark, gloomy months of winter come to an end, the trees get their leaves back, the yellow grass turns green again. The flowers start to bloom, the birds start to sing. It’s warming up but not yet hot. It’s a time of new beginnings, and a great time for a wedding.
Choosing the Color Palette
Springtime is the season of rebirth, and the greatest symbol of rebirth, optimism, and new beginnings is the egg. The pastel color scheme of Easter best represents these traits. But this is your wedding, and just like you might not want your winter wedding to be Christmas-themed, you might want to avoid referencing Easter on your big day. If you don’t want your wedding to look like an Easter basket, but you love springtime pastels, there are so many ways to incorporate pastels into your color palette without being too obvious about it.
Sage Green and Dusty Rose
The Colors: You can nod to traditional spring pastels without going all-in. These shades of green and pink are pastel-adjacent but a little more tranquil, offering a more mature, sophisticated take on traditional pastels.
The Rings: A two-tone ring in white and pink like this one matches the sophisticated vibe of the color palette while adding a third supplementary color in white gold.
Pink and Purple
The Colors: Shades of pink and purple are synonymous with springtime. The pale pink of camelias and magnolias, the rich pink-purple of peonies, the pale purple of crocuses, lilacs, and lavender, the saturated purple of irises, and, of course, the cherry blossom are all symbols of everything spring stands for. When you go with this color palette, you don’t only have colors picked out, you also get a theme: florals. For a supplementary color, try the pastel yellow of the daffodil. When picking out dresses for the wedding party, just keep in mind that yellow doesn’t look great on every skin tone.
The Rings: The naturalistic twisting patterns in the rings in our Twists collection will pair nicely with floral-themed décor.
Pastel Blue and Light Taupe
The Colors: Another subdued take on spring pastels that gives “quiet luxury,” this palette pairs a classic pastel with an elegant shade of gray. For a supplementary color, try pops of rose gold.
The Rings: Rose gold will also be the go-to color for the wedding bands. It is analogous to taupe and complementary to pastel blue in a way that feels youthful and fun without losing any of the palette’s luxurious connotations. Head over to the Design Center and start designing a rose gold ring that fits your style.
Emerald Green and Gray
The Colors: Looking for something other than different takes on pastels? This moody, sophisticated combo eschews the traditional colors completely to honor a different kind of spring: lush greenery watered by overcast skies. You’re growing something new together, just like the soil and the rains of spring.
The Rings: In the Design Center, you can design a textured ring in white gold or palladium with a sandblast or satin brush finish to capture the grandeur of overcast spring skies. Add a few diamonds to give your clouds a silver lining.
Pink, Orange, and Yellow
The Colors: These warm colors that bring the energy and fun of spring without overtly referencing tradition will be a part of more than a few wedding color palettes in the coming years. In softer shades, these colors feel a little elegant and nostalgic. More saturated hues are fun, vibrant, and energetic.
The Rings: This theme is asking for a fun wedding band. Maybe stackable bands in three different colors, or something from our Hearts collection?
Commemorate Your Day
While it’s not the most popular season for weddings, spring weddings combine the hopefulness of a new beginning with the energy of sunshine and warm weather. If that’s the vibe you want your wedding to evoke, spring is a great season for it. No matter what kind of color palette speaks to you, you can find a design in platinum, palladium, or red, peach, yellow, or white gold to complement it.
