As a Fort Wayne wedding photographer I adore spring weddings! It is such a magical time to be married with the blooming flowers and soft light. A spring wedding in Fort Wayne will be dreamy, and the perfect backdrop no matter your wedding style. If you still need to be talked into a spring wedding, here are the top 5 reasons to be married in the spring in Fort Wayne!

Picture Perfect Golden Hour

You don’t want your wedding to go too late, but you also don’t want harsh lighting in your photos. The best time to take your wedding photos is at golden hour. This is when the light has a warm glow and doesn’t create such harsh shadows. In the spring, golden hour is a bit earlier, which is usually the perfect time for some bridals and family shots before your wedding reception. This is great to get those stunning wedding photos before tearing up the dance floor!

Spring Wedding Weather

For a spring wedding in Fort Wayne, consider the late spring for an outdoor wedding. April and May are wonderful months to have an outdoor wedding ceremony, with the high temperature being between the low 60s and low 70s. Then when the sun sets and the temperature drops you can have an indoor wedding reception.

Historically, Fort Wayne reaches it’s peak rainfall in late May or early June. So, if you are wanting to have an outdoor wedding in the Spring consider this. You should have a backup plan in case storm clouds roll into your wedding wedding. Possibly an indoor space or tents. You can also plan your wedding under a pergola or a terrace. This way you can enjoy the cool weather and beautiful spring scenery while avoiding any possible rain.

Spring Wedding In Fort Wayne Florals

Speaking of scenery, there is so much growth during the spring time and that means flowers! It might be easier for you at this time to find your perfect bouquet because there are so many flowers in bloom. Vendors are more likely to have the Spring florals that you are looking for! In addition, a spring wedding in Fort Wayne will give you a gorgeous backdrop for your wedding with pretty blooming flowers. Level up your wedding by tying in those natural spring color to your wedding color palette!

Spring Wedding Colors

The colors in the spring are simply heavenly! Traditional spring colors like eggshell blue, and pastel pinks create a timeless wedding color palette. Or you can lean into the more bold spring colors and opt for yellows and greens for your spring wedding in Fort Wayne. Nature will be working for you as you incorporate the natural colors that you will have surrounding your wedding venue!

Off-peak Wedding Season

This is probably the best reason out of them all! A lot of vendors charge more during the peak season, which is late summer. In the spring when vendors are not so busy you’re able to lock in some good deals, especially if you live in a colder climate like Fort Wayne. Also, consider their availability. More vendors are available during the off-peak season. So you have more choices when it comes to the best vendors. 

“New Growth”

Another reason to have a spring wedding in Fort Wayne is all that spring represents. It’s a time for new birth and growth. Your wedding is the coming together of two wonderful people who love each other. It’s the “birth” of your life together and commitment to one another. As well, your marriage signifies the growth of both parties. You’re leaving behind your old life and sacrificing it for a new life with your partner.
