UNLOCKING THE MAGIC OF SPRING
Springtime in Minnesota brings new beginnings and an air of hope. For many couples, choosing to tie the knot during this vibrant time of year has a multitude of benefits. We have collected some insights on why and how a spring wedding might be a great choice for you.
COOL TEMPERATURES
After a long winter, everyone in Minnesota is excited to get back to warmer outdoor activities. Spring provides ideal cool temperatures to enjoy outdoor time, plus it provides the excitement of budding beauty all around. Being able to exchange vows amidst a backdrop of freshly bloomed flowers and trees with the gentle warmth of the sun is undoubtedly a top contender of many couples’ first choice for a spring wedding. This is especially true for weddings with the hope of having an element of the day outdoors, like the ceremony, first dance, or social hour.

FRESH BLOOMS
Spring blooms are some of the favorites for floral arrangements. Highly desired peonies, delicate tulips, joyful daffodils, garden roses, poppies, carnations, and hydrangeas are some spring favorites. Cherry blossom trees also bloom in the spring if you are lucky enough to have one at your venue. There's something truly enchanting about the natural beauty of fresh blooms surrounding you that enhances the sacredness of the ceremony.
THE OPENING OF “EVENT SEASON”
Spring is typically the start of “busy season” for most vendors. Passionate about what they do, vendors are often full of fresh energy and excitement to see event plans come to life at the start of event season. You may find that you get the best from your vendors in the spring.
For instance, photographers may not yet have a stockpile of events for which they need to edit photos, so yours will likely be edited and returned to you quickly!
Plus, by getting married earlier in the year, you get to enjoy the summer and fall as a married couple instead of spending it planning.

TRENDS
As the beginning of “event season”, spring sets the tone for trends of the year, and you get to be the first to put them into action. Try something new, show off your style, be a trendsetter, and make a mark on your wedding year. We love how this spring bride had a dress that transformed from white during the ceremony to colorful blooms during the grand entrance of their reception. The “blooming”skirt represented the colorful transformation of the season as well.

SPRING SAVINGS
You may find significant savings by planning a wedding in the spring. In March, April, and May vendors tend to have less busy schedules, and potentially discounted rates. Additionally, some vendors offer package deals or discounts for booking multiple services with them. Be sure to inquire about any available promotions or special offers that can help stretch your budget further.
We are currently offering a Spring Bundle Special for our spring 2025 couples! Twelve of our partnering vendors are offering discounted rates on their services if you book with them vendors during April-May this year!

PRACTICAL CONSIDERATIONS
While spring weddings come with many benefits, there are also practical considerations to keep in mind. Be prepared for potential rain showers by having a backup plan for outdoor ceremonies, and consider the allergies of your guests when selecting flowers and outdoor venues.
