In fact, spring and summer weddings open up a world of possibilities when it comes to embracing the latest wedding trends.

At The Goei Center + Kindel Room, we’ve seen firsthand how incorporating on-trend elements (customized to reflect a couple’s unique style) can turn a celebration into something truly extraordinary.

From bold florals to pastel-perfect palettes, spring and summer weddings are all about celebrating joy, color, and individuality. Whether you're dreaming of mismatched bridesmaid dresses in sorbet hues, dapper groomsmen in floral ties, or tablescapes overflowing with fresh greenery and taper candles—this season’s trends are here to help you design a wedding that feels uniquely you.

Let’s dive into the fresh trends we’re loving this season… 😍


🌸 Color Palettes: Pastels Meet Bold & Bright

Spring and summer weddings are seeing a beautiful blend of soft pastels and bold, joyful tones. Think peachy corals, buttery yellows, lilacs, and sky blues paired with unexpected pops of electric pink, terracotta, or vibrant citrus tones. Couples are no longer choosing between subtle and saturated—this year, they’re embracing both!

Whether you're dreaming of a cohesive pastel palette or a modern mix of bold hues, the neutral backdrop of our venues enhances every shade.

💐 Wedding Party Style: Mismatched & Full of Personality

Gone are the days of matchy-matchy bridal parties. In 2025, it’s all about intentional mismatching. Bridesmaids in different shades, prints, and silhouettes add visual interest and let each person shine in a style that suits them. We’re especially loving floral prints, soft fabrics, and dresses in complementary pastels.

For the guys, it’s all about dapper details! Think floral ties, patterned pocket squares, and suits in colors beyond classic black or navy. Olive green, light grey, or even muted rust tones are making their way down the aisle this season.

🌿 Decor: Floral-Forward & Naturally Romantic

Spring and summer décor is all about abundant florals and intentional elegance. Lush greenery, bud vases filled with seasonal blooms, and soft, romantic draping are everywhere this season.

Taper candles in pastel or neutral tones add a glowing warmth to tablescapes, while layered textures (like linen runners, ceramic vases, or mixed-metal accents) elevate the aesthetic. Whether you're going for garden-party chic or elegant and ethereal, our spaces are the perfect blank canvas for bringing these trends to life.

✨ Indoor Enchanted: Fairy Garden & Bridgerton-Inspired Themes

Two of the most romantic trends we’re seeing this season? Fairy garden whimsy and Bridgerton-inspired elegance. These dreamy aesthetics are taking over Pinterest boards and the best part is, they can be just as magical indoors.

At the Goei Center and Kindel Room, our open, airy spaces and historic charm provide the perfect canvas for creating an indoor garden fantasy. Think floral installations climbing up exposed brick walls, lush greenery cascading from beams, and twinkling fairy lights or chandeliers that mimic a starry night sky.

For a Bridgerton-style celebration, couples are leaning into soft pastel tones, vintage-inspired tableware, classical string music, and romantic draping. Add taper candles, ornate signage, and garden-style florals in urns or bud vases to give your reception that regal, Regency-era feel with all the comfort and elegance of an indoor setting.

These themes are all about bringing the outdoors in, and our venues make it easy to create that immersive, romantic atmosphere rain or shine.
