Spectacular spring wedding ideas

Ideas and inspiration for a spring Scottish wedding

We love spring at the Kingsmills Hotel. As this glorious season comes to an end, we’re already thinking about next year’s spectacular spring weddings! So if you’re busy planning a wedding for next spring, here are some ideas to help and inspire you. As nature bursts into life, spring symbolises new beginnings, making this a fantastic time to start married life together.

Spring florals

For many, spring is all about florals. This is the time of year when nature awakes and colourful flowers begin to bloom. Choose a beautiful florals theme to make the most of the season, using spring flowers that bloom in Scotland. You could use floral motifs on your wedding stationery, seasonal blooms in your bouquet, and delicate sugar flowers on your wedding cake. Show-stopping floral decorations, such as flower arches and ceiling hangings can create drama and romance.

Spring colours

Spring colour palettes tend to favour soft pastel tones and natural shades. Colours that reflect flowers and foliage, like yellow, pink and green are popular. You can use a colour palette generator such as Coolors or Scheme Color to help you choose a scheme.

Spring weather

As spring arrives in Scotland, the days get longer and the weather gets warmer. There is a wonderful sense of energy and optimism. And with it comes the opportunity to spend more time outdoors. However, you can never know for sure what the weather is going to do. So if you plan any outdoor celebrations, it’s worth having an indoor backup plan, just in case. Keep an eye on the weather forecast in the run-up to your big day!

Spring wedding venues

At the Kingsmills Hotel in Inverness, we offer both indoor and outdoor event spaces, so we’re prepared, whatever the weather. The Kingsmills Gardens are available for wedding ceremonies seating up to 150 people. They also provide a magnificent setting for your photographs, with well-kept lawns, mature trees and colourful flower beds. Indoors, we have a choice of rooms in different styles and sizes. Our largest suite accommodates up to 200 for a ceremony, 300 for a wedding breakfast and 350 for an evening reception. Our experienced team will work with you to create the perfect spring wedding. Whatever your vision, we’ll do our very best to bring it to life.

Spring & mid-week discounts

Getting married outside of the peak summer season sometimes means you can take advantage of offers and discounts. Make sure you speak to all your wedding suppliers about any discounted rates they may have.

Here at the Kingsmills, we have a great deal for weddings held at our Inverness venue, Sunday to Thursday. Enjoy a 15% discount on mid-week wedding packages, throughout the year!
