With flowers coming into bloom, the weather turning milder, and everything becoming lighter and brighter, it’s easy to see why spring is the perfect season for a wedding. Whether you’re drawn to the countryside charm of Kent or the historic beauty of Canterbury, spring offers everything you need for an unforgettable day.

But planning a spring wedding isn’t always straightforward, from choosing the right wedding venue to incorporating seasonal flowers, colours and menus. 

In this guide, crafted by our experienced weddings team who’ve helped couples create unforgettable celebrations, we’ll share our insights to help you plan the perfect spring wedding in Kent.

Why Spring is the Perfect Season for a Kent Wedding

The Garden of England truly comes alive in spring. From the rolling hills of rural Kent to the cobbled streets and cathedral views of Canterbury, this part of the country makes the perfect backdrop for your wedding.

Here’s why spring in Kent is ideal for a wedding:

Nature in bloom: Gardens burst into life with tulips, cherry blossoms, and daffodils, creating the perfect backdrop for photography and offering opportunities for beautiful spring floral arrangements.

Milder weather: Spring brings milder temperatures, allowing for outdoor ceremonies without the direct heat of the summer.

Golden light: During spring, the light is much softer, giving a naturally romantic tone to any photos.

Choosing the Perfect Spring Wedding Venue

When choosing your spring wedding venue in Kent, it’s essential to find a venue that celebrates everything the season has to offer and makes the most out of the Spring days. 

Consider the following: 

Gardens: Choosing a venue with beautiful, expansive gardens and grounds allows you to take full advantage of the milder weather and blooming flowers.

Flexible spaces: Although usually milder, the weather in Spring can be unpredictable, so it’s worth choosing a venue with both indoor and outdoor spaces, so you’re prepared for anything the weather throws your way.

On-site accommodation: A wedding venue with accommodation allows your guests to stay over without having to travel, letting them fully enjoy the celebration.

Top Tips for Planning A Spring Wedding in Kent

Make the menu seasonal: Lighter, locally sourced dishes work great in Spring. Think lamb, fresh herbs and fruit-based desserts.

Choose seasonal flowers: Tulips and daffodils are in season and perfect for adding pops of colour to your chosen venue.

Pick your date carefully: Late April through to early June is a popular time for Spring weddings in Kent.

Incorporate spring colours: Soft pastels, greens and neutral colours will create a beautiful spring theme, with pops of colour from your seasonal flowers.

Be prepared for the weather: Spring can be mild and bright one moment and wet and breezy the next. Ensure you’re prepared for this unpredictability.
