ALL THINGS BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL Claire Buffoni at Cavendish Jewellers (www.cavendishjewellers.co.uk) says: Spring is such a beautiful time, full of life, fresh blooms, and vibrant colours, and inspires so many radiant ways to incorporate the season into your wedding jewellery. Here are some ideas on how you can reflect the springtime vibe through dazzling accessories. Flowers are synonymous with spring, and there are many ways to incorporate them into your jewellery. Look for delicate floral designs in your earrings, necklace, bracelet, or even a statement ring for your other hand. Soft, pastel petal colours from gemstones such as, aquamarine, morganite, pearl, opal and amethyst, not only evoke a spring palette, but add a delicate elegance to your wedding look. Jewellery featuring leaves and intertwining vines can be a lovely tribute to the renewal that spring represents – a whimsical, romantic and nature-infused look that aligns with the beauty of the season. Finally, if you’re looking for the perfect pop of colour to create a stunning contrast to a traditional white or neutral wedding dress, a pendant or earrings set with vibrant stones like sapphire, citrine, or ruby, add a springtime flair with their lively, joyful hues. Spring-inspired wedding jewellery captures the essence of new beginnings, joy and natural beauty, making it the perfect way to celebrate your special day. Whether through subtle accents or bold statement pieces, springtime jewellery brings a refreshing, airy elegance that enhances the beauty of such a special occasion. LOVE IS IN THE AIR Nadia from Nadia Violin (https://nadiaviolin.co.uk) says: Spring is the season of new beginnings, blossoming love, and joyful energy, and your wedding music is a wonderful way to reflect that. To create a springtime vibe, I recommend choosing light, romantic, and uplifting songs that feel fresh and full of life. Instrumental music works beautifully for spring weddings, especially when performed live on violin. Classical pieces like Spring from Vivaldi’s Four Seasons or Flower Duet by Delibes are timeless choices that evoke the elegance and renewal of the season. For a more modern touch, you could include acoustic or string versions of your favourite love songs; especially those with soft, melodic lines that feel dreamy and full of emotion. For the ceremony, opt for gentle, flowing pieces as your guests arrive and something bright and heartfelt for your walk down the aisle. During your drinks reception, a mix of elegant classics and romantic pop can create a relaxed yet joyful mood. Live music brings a memorable atmosphere and can be tailored to match your vision perfectly. With the right choices, your music will feel like the soundtrack to spring itself – natural, beautiful, and full of love. BRINGING THE OUTSIDE IN Dawn Clements from York Venues (www.yorkvenues.org.uk) says: The team here at York Venues are hot on spring with four wedding locations to offer within the historical city walls of beautiful York. The Hospitium is a particular favourite for a springtime wedding, a medieval hall nestled in the rolling parkland of Museum Gardens. When we bring the outside in, we really mean it! We’re surrounded by tulips and stunning spring beds filled with a lovely combination of flowers. It’s a superb backdrop for wedding photographs. Tulips always remind me of spring and choosing a single colour can make a great impact as centrepieces on tables. Add sweet peas, hyacinths and anemones for a lovely scent too to greet your guests. Then, with beams often swathed in ivy dotted with flowers and the wedding cake dressed in spring flowers, the spring theme is carried throughout. Designing invitations and wedding stationery with this in mind will tie the springtime feel into the whole planning process and guests can leave with small seasonal floral gifts to take home. The season can also last beyond the big day in the shape of bespoke sachets of wildflower meadow blooms to attract pollinators and remind everyone that spring is most definitely in the air! © Gareth Buddo for York Venues 52
