Why Spring Is the Perfect Season for a Mountain Wedding
You’ll need to set an ideal date for your ceremony before contacting the caterers and inviting your guests. No one wants a wedding in the blistering heat, and hosting the ceremony in the snowy season is just as inconvenient. Discover why spring is the perfect season for a mountain wedding and the best ways to decorate and celebrate the occasion.
Mild and Comfortable Weather
Spring offers the perfect balance of sunshine and cool mountain breezes, which makes it one of the most comfortable seasons for outdoor ceremonies. No need to worry about sweating through your wedding outfit! Surround your guests in an environment that sets the mood for the occasion.
Breathtaking Blooms Everywhere
Spring transforms mountain landscapes into a paradise of blossoming wildflowers, lush greenery, and vibrant colors. Instead of ordering floral arrangements or creating elaborate backdrops, the natural scenery is the perfect photo opportunity for you and your guests. There’s plenty of natural decor that will add charm to your celebration, from violets and daisies to cherry blossoms and expansive trees.
Golden Hour Magic
Springtime in the mountains provides some of the most stunning golden hour lighting. This soft, natural light adds a dreamy glow that enhances photos and sets the stage for your ceremony. Your photographer will love capturing intimate moments in the magical lighting found only in spring mountain settings.
Seasonal Menu Options
Take advantage of spring’s fresh and seasonal produce for your wedding menu. Incorporate asparagus, artichokes, berries and more into each dish and offer your guests a fresh, flavorful dining experience. Seasonal cocktails, such as lavender spritzers or strawberry mojitos, are the perfect touch to bring spring vibes to your celebration.
Creative Seasonal Décor Opportunities
Spring is the perfect season for a mountain wedding as it opens the door to décor that reflects the season’s charm. Pastel hues, floral garlands, and rustic touches, such as wooden arches or greenery walls, can help you create your dream ceremony. Lanterns or twinkling string lights can also boost the ambiance when the sun goes down, and you share your first dance or dine during your reception.
