If you’ve just recently gotten engaged and are trying to decide when to have your Vancouver wedding, you’ve come to the right place! If you’re not a fan of too hot or too cold temperatures, Spring may be the perfect time for you to tie the knot. Vancouver weddings are known to be gorgeous, especially if they’re outdoors as you can have the infamous cherry blossom trees in the background of your photos.

Here is a guide on planning your Spring Vancouver wedding:

Vancouver wedding palette

This is the foundation for your wedding planning as it would determine what your Vancouver wedding would look like and how you and your partner would also dress as well. With Spring, many couples enjoy experimenting with pastel colours to really add a bit more splash to the palette without it contrasting too much.

Planning for the Vancouver weather

Knowing how unpredictable Vancouver is with weather (we are called Raincouver for a reason), you will need to have a plan B due to Spring showers being a possibility. If you are planning an outdoor wedding, you should consider renting a tent or even a canopy to keep your guests dry and focused on your Vancouver wedding.

Your wedding menu & wedding cake

As temperatures become warmer, you have more options to add to your menu in terms of appetizers, drinks, and even dessert. Seasonal fruits can be a great addition to change things up in your menu, both visually and in flavour. You can also offer a wide selection of spring cocktails, martinis and more. Since wedding planning also comes with choosing your wedding cake, add some Spring colours or Spring flowers to make your cake fit the season.

Vancouver wedding flowers

Since everything begins to bloom during the Spring, you will have a huge variety of flowers and stems to choose from. It will be easy to get peonies, tulips, daffodils, and hyacinths as they will be in season. Some other popular non-traditional flowers would include cherry blossoms, dogwood, wheatgrass, herbs and moss. Be sure to plan your wedding flowers out well in advance.

Wedding attire for Spring

Springtime weddings call for some fun wedding attire as they don’t always have to be the traditional white, floor-length wedding dresses. Couples can opt for the hemlines to be a bit higher, the fabric to be a bit lighter and even incorporate some Spring colours or flowers into their outfits. When planning your wedding, you can keep the spring dress code less formal and more low-key.
