Spring! The season us Michiganders long await after every winter. We’ve been lucky this year in the snow department (or should I say lack thereof), but the gray and gloom still has us counting down the days until spring. With this month signaling the start of spring, we can’t wait to dive into the magic and romance that awaits this season. Warm breezes, blooming florals, and a whole lot of love is soon to fill the air. Keep reading to discover the top 5 reasons why spring is the perfect season to say “I do” in Michigan. ✨

1. Weather ☀️

Living in Michigan, weather is always top of mind when it comes to planning a wedding. Opting for a spring wedding date is not only a wise choice for the comfortable temperatures but also for the stunning landscapes that come with it. With flowers and trees bursting into full bloom, beautiful backdrops for wedding portraits are around every corner. Plus, the mild temperatures of the season mean you won’t find yourself reaching for a coat or constantly reapplying makeup to combat the elements. Another perk? Choosing a spring wedding in Michigan ensures you won’t have to worry about any unexpected last-minute cancellations due to snowstorms.

2. Venues With Views 🌇

Michigan is home to many stunning venues, scattered across the state, each with their own unique characteristics. However, one type seems to stick out in the mitten state. Venues with indoor/outdoor access are of the most loved among guests. But why the pull to such spaces? Well, a venue with an outdoor space provides guests the best of both worlds–being able to be a part of the party while also enjoying the fresh air elements. Moreover, the outdoor setting opens up a world of possibilities for activities, from friendly lawn games to casual conversation on the patio. Opting for an indoor/outdoor venue caters to guests of all ages, giving them the freedom to curate their own wedding experience, ensuring a memorable affair!

3. Fun Vendors Options! 🍦

Selecting vendors for a spring wedding opens doors to endless possibilities, and here’s why. Unlike the peak wedding season in Michigan, which comes later in the year, spring marks just the beginning. This timing ensures that vendors are revitalized and eager to embark on new ventures. It’s the perfect opportunity to get inventive with your vendor selections. Picture this: an ice cream and cookie bar for dessert or perhaps onsite cigar rolling for guests at a venue with outdoor access. The key is to find something that not only enhances the guest experience but also ties into the occasion or season seamlessly.

4. Color Palette Freedom 💐

Spring in Michigan brings an abundance of fresh, seasonal blooms, providing limitless combinations for floral arrangements and décor. Whether you prefer romantic peonies or whimsical wildflowers, the springtime selection is sure to complement your wedding theme and color palette. Bright pops of color, soft pastels, or a monochrome aesthetic, almost anything goes in this season. Feel free to have fun with a guest dress code too!

5. Avoiding Football Overlap 🏈

Ah, football season—it unites so many of us Michiganders in a frenzy of excitement. While we love game days, we also know how it can present a challenge for couples planning their wedding, whether it be hotel availability, rate increases, traffic, or other hiccups that come with the season. Fortunately, the spring season offers time away from the hustle and bustle of football season, allowing you to plan your wedding without the worry of conflicting schedules or competing priorities. You deserve a day free from the distraction of game day festivities.

Well, that’s just a few reasons why a spring wedding in Michigan is highly favorable for not only couples, but their guests as well. So, if you’re still in the date decision phase and are contemplating what season is best to tie the knot, definitely consider spring! There is something about this season that brings such magic.

Sending wedding wishes your way!
