Spring is one of the most beautiful times of the year, the sun is shining, flowers are in full bloom and the air feels lighter and fresher. It symbolises new beginnings and unofficially marks the start of wedding season. Heading into spring, you might find your diary marked with wedding after wedding, and whether you’re witnessing friends tie the knot at a traditional church ceremony, at a lowkey garden party or overlooking the endless rolling hills of a vineyard, finding the perfect outfit to match the weather and the venue can be tricky.
We’ve sourced some of our favourite styles to inspire you and help you find the perfect look to celebrate spring nuptials this wedding season.
Classic Florals
Year after year, we can’t help but find ourselves reaching for anything floral the moment spring makes an appearance. From ditsy, elegant prints to bold sequinned patterns, this classic style has evolved over the years and there’s a piece out there to fit every style and occasion. A midi style in a flowing A-line cut or figure hugging bodycon style will take you seamlessly from the afternoon ceremony into the after dark celebrations. Opt for long sleeves to keep you warm on a cooler spring evening or layer with a faux fur jacket as the sun sets.

Colour Blocking
After seeing the colour blocking trend become more and more popular on the runway and our social media feeds, the change in season is no better time to debut this statement look. Whether bold, colourful pieces make up your day-to-day wardrobe, or your colour palette is strictly monochrome this versatile style can be adapted to suit every taste. If you’re ready to dive into this trend, pair a bright dress with heels and a clutch in a high contrast colour, such as pink and green or blue and orange. For a more understated look, opt for accessories in the same colour but varying shades – think a lilac dress with a pair of violet heels.
If you’re still testing the waters with this style, pair the pink Cellina Dress with fuchsia pink heels and a matching clutch. For a statement look, complete the Colette Dress with lilac heels, a clutch and keep jewellery minimal. Images: Alamour The Label
3D Fabrics
A nod to the classic spring floral trend, 3D fabrics bring a luxurious feel and elevate the style of any piece. With intricate 3D floral detailing, flowing silhouettes and romantic necklines, this trend is the embodiment of class and elegance. Let the dress be the feature of your spring wedding ensemble and complete the look with nude minimalistic heels, a coordinating clutch and glowy makeup look. Wear your hair in a slick ponytail or loose bun to show off the stunning neckline.
