The Natural Beauty of Spring
Blooming Flowers and Lush Greenery
One of the most captivating aspects of a spring wedding in Wisconsin is the abundance of blooming flowers and lush greenery. The state’s natural beauty comes alive in spring. These vibrant colors create a stunning backdrop for wedding photos and add a touch of romance and whimsy to your ceremony and reception. Nature itself plays a key role in your décor.
Mild Weather
Spring in Wisconsin typically features mild, comfortable weather, making it ideal for outdoor weddings. With average temperatures ranging from the mid-50s to mid-70s, spring provides a pleasant atmosphere for both you and your guests. This means you can enjoy your outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour without the sweltering heat of summer or the chill of winter.
The mild spring weather also allows for a wide range of attire options. Brides can opt for lighter fabrics and more intricate designs, while guests can dress stylishly without worrying about extreme temperatures. And those boys won’t be sweating through their shirts.
Versatile Venue Options
Outdoor and Indoor Venues
Spring offers the flexibility to choose between outdoor and indoor celebrations, depending on your preference and the weather. Aspen Sky provides beautiful outdoor spaces for ceremonies and cocktail hours, as well as our modern indoor space for receptions. This versatility ensures that you can create your dream wedding, regardless of the weather conditions.
Seasonal Décor and Themes
Fresh and Vibrant Colors
Spring weddings are synonymous with fresh and vibrant colors. Incorporate shades of pastel pinks, blues, yellows, and greens into your wedding décor to reflect the beauty of the season. These colors can be used in everything from your floral arrangements and table settings to your bridesmaids’ dresses and wedding cake.
Nature-Inspired Décor
Take advantage of the natural elements of spring by incorporating nature-inspired décor into your wedding. Use fresh flowers, greenery, and even elements like wood and stone to create a rustic yet elegant look. Flower crowns for the bride and bridesmaids, botanical table centerpieces, and ivy-wrapped archways are just a few ideas to bring the essence of spring into your celebration.
Delicious Seasonal Menu
Fresh and Local Ingredients
Spring is a season of renewal and growth, which means an abundance of fresh, local ingredients for your wedding menu. Work with your caterer to incorporate seasonal produce like asparagus, strawberries, peas, and rhubarb into your dishes. These fresh ingredients not only taste amazing but also add a touch of local flavor to your wedding feast.
Light and Refreshing Dishes
Spring is the perfect time to serve light and refreshing dishes that complement the season. Consider options like a crisp salad with seasonal greens, a light lemon chicken or fish dish, and a selection of fresh fruit desserts. For drinks, think about offering spring-themed cocktails like a strawberry basil mojito or a refreshing cucumber mint lemonade.
The Joy of New Beginnings
Symbolism of Spring
Spring is often associated with new beginnings, making it a meaningful time to start your new life together. The season’s themes of growth, renewal, and blossoming love align perfectly with the celebration of marriage. This symbolism adds a layer of depth and significance to your wedding day, making it all the more special.
A Fresh Start
There’s something undeniably exciting about the fresh start that spring brings. As you exchange vows and begin your journey as a married couple, the world around you is also waking up and coming to life. This shared sense of renewal and possibility can make your wedding feel even more momentous and joyful.
Practical Benefits of Spring Weddings

While summer and fall are peak wedding seasons, spring is considered an off-peak time here at Aspen Sky and brings with it considerable costs savings for those looking to for a more approachable price point.
