10 Things Spring Brides Should Be Focusing On

Spring is the season of new beginnings—what better time to say “I do”? With blooming flowers, mild weather, and plenty of planning still ahead, spring brides should take time to get organized and stay ahead of the details. Here are 10 important things to focus on as your big day approaches:

1. Finalize Your Guest List & Send Invitations

It’s time to double (and triple) check your guest list—then send out your invitations and RSVP cards. These should be mailed at least two months before the wedding, with an RSVP deadline set three weeks out. Staying on top of this ensures you’ll have an accurate headcount in time for final planning.

2. Order Your Wedding Cake

You’ve probably sampled a few favorites by now—so don’t delay! It’s time to place the final order for your wedding cake, complete with delivery details and final touches that match your spring theme.

3. Finalize Your Florals

Spring is known for its beautiful blooms, so lock in your florist, finalize your arrangements, and schedule delivery and payment. Make sure your floral palette reflects the season—think peonies, ranunculus, tulips, or soft greenery.

4. Create Your Seating Chart

Once you have your RSVPs rolling in, it’s time to start mapping out your seating. If you’re using escort cards or a seating display, this is a great time to get organized so there’s no last-minute scramble.

5. Assemble Your Wedding Favors

Spring weddings are the perfect time for fun, fresh favors. Don’t wait until the last minute—plan a girls’ night to put together favors like seed packets, mini succulents, or personalized candles.

6. Purchase Gifts for Your Wedding Party

Don’t forget thank-you gifts for your bridal party, parents, and close family. Many couples opt for thoughtful but practical gifts that reflect their personalities—matching robes, tumblers, personalized jewelry, or keepsakes that speak to your shared memories.

7. Book Your Hair & Makeup Trial

Now’s the time to schedule your beauty trial! Many hair and makeup artists offer discounted trial runs, so you can feel confident about your look. Book early, check reviews, and don’t be afraid to try a spring-inspired style—like soft waves or dewy makeup.

8. Touch Base with Your Vendors

Go over contracts and check in with each of your vendors. Even if your final headcount isn’t ready, give them a solid estimate. Confirm timelines, review what’s still needed, and make any updates while there’s still time.

9. Finalize Decor & Rentals

Spring colors and natural textures make for dreamy wedding décor—just make sure everything is accounted for. Review your vision board and confirm your final design choices for linens, centerpieces, lighting, and rentals.

10. Organize Decor Into Labeled Bins

Sort everything—gift table items, signage, favors, centerpieces—into clearly labeled containers. This makes setup day a breeze for your coordinator or decorating crew. Labeling helps avoid confusion and ensures nothing gets missed.

🌷 Bonus Tip: Breathe & Enjoy the Process

Planning a spring wedding should be joyful, not overwhelming. Tackle your checklist one task at a time, and don’t hesitate to lean on your planner or coordinator for support.
