CHAPTER 6C — SPRING: A SEASONAL PLAYBOOK
In Chapter 6B, Winter stood for clarity: a world pared back to essentials, where love itself warms the dark. Spring now answers with renewal, softness, and hope. Where Winter gathers by firelight, Spring opens garden gates—light through budding branches, vows written in color.
A Spring wedding is not décor; it is atmosphere. A state of becoming. An invitation to begin again and weave tenderness and growth into the architecture of your forever.
Spring Tones
The Venue
Spring as Stage
Venue is stagecraft, and in Spring it becomes a canvas of air, bloom, and light. History and nature collaborate—courtyards, conservatories, and ruins softened by new growth. These are places where vows feel held by both time and season, as though you’re stepping into a scene already written for you.
- Conservatories: Glass and light frame Spring’s delicacy; every petal becomes part of the architecture.
- Courtyards & Castles: Old stone, newly blossomed—fabric and sky move together in the breeze.
- Arboretums: Lilac-lined paths and budding trees promise renewal overhead.
Design Notes
- Layered linens in soft neutrals
- Porcelain and glass—refined, unforced
- Hand-illustrated paper goods, intimate and personal

Florals
Air and movement are everything in Spring florals.

- Lilac for romance carried on the breeze
- Jasmine for evenings scented with devotion
Attire

- Veils with drape and movement—poetry in fabric
- Suits in stone or dove, subtle yet steadfast
Favors & Keepsakes

A Local Light
Location Scouting for the Heart
Seek ruins, courtyards, and abbeys where stone holds memory and blossom softens the edges.
Ross Castle, Killarney, Ireland — On the edge of Lough Leane, a 15th-century stronghold opens onto woodland and water. Courtyard vows under budding branches; fabric answers the Atlantic breeze.
Carmona, Andalusia, Spain — Beyond Seville’s grandeur, jasmine-filled patios and Moorish arches. Sunlit stone carries the ceremony; evening air holds the guitar’s last chord.
Abbaye de Sénanque, Provence, France — Cistercian walls frame tender greens before lavender season. Simplicity, reverence, renewal in one frame.
Bridal Style
The palette is nothing until it moves with you.
- Ballet Rose Satin Gown — petals in motion
- Dusty Blue Wrap — twilight silk, fluid and graceful
- Sage Green Slip — rooted in simplicity, alive with promise
- Ivory Midi — parchment-soft, timeless as a vow
Spring is not simply a season—it is a state of heart. Begin here, and let your vows carry the fragrance of forever.
