Why so many couples love getting married in spring

There’s something undeniably romantic about springtime in Utah County. The air feels fresh, the trees are in bloom, and the mountains still hold a touch of snow — the perfect backdrop for saying “I do.” It’s also one of the most popular times to get married, thanks to the mild weather and colorful scenery.

But as every local knows, Utah spring weather can be unpredictable. You might wake up to sunshine, only for a surprise rain shower (or even snow flurry) to roll through later in the day. That’s why choosing the right venue and planning ahead make all the difference.

Here’s everything you need to know to create a spring wedding that’s as effortless as it is elegant — featuring tips from The Rooftop Lehi, a modern indoor/outdoor venue designed to handle every season beautifully.

Choose a venue that fits Utah’s spring weather

Spring weather in Utah County can shift quickly, so flexibility is key. Look for venues that offer both indoor and outdoor spaces so you can adapt without stress if the forecast changes.

At The Rooftop Lehi, ceremonies often take place in the open-air courtyard surrounded by string lights and fresh greenery, while receptions transition seamlessly into the Overlook Room — a bright, spacious indoor space that keeps the outdoor feel with floor-to-ceiling windows.

This kind of versatility ensures that no matter what Mother Nature brings, your wedding day stays picture-perfect.

Embrace a spring-inspired color palette

Utah spring weddings shine when couples lean into soft, nature-inspired hues. Think blush, light pink, white, sage, and fresh greens — tones that feel clean, romantic, and timeless against a modern backdrop.

At The Rooftop, couples often combine black linens with soft pink and white florals accented by greenery, creating a fresh, balanced look that pops beautifully against the neutral interiors. These colors feel airy and seasonal while still complementing the venue’s contemporary style.

Bring the outdoors in with fresh florals and greenery

Florals are the heart of any spring wedding. Peonies, ranunculus, tulips, and garden roses are all in season and perfect for creating lush arrangements.

Consider floral arches, suspended greenery installations, or delicate bud vases down your reception tables. At The Rooftop, the natural light and open design allow floral details to truly shine — even when your celebration moves indoors.

Plan your timeline around the best light

Spring sunsets in Utah typically fall between 7 and 8 p.m., which gives you gorgeous natural light for photos. Since most ceremonies at The Rooftop take place earlier in the afternoon, a first look is the perfect way to capture those glowing outdoor portraits before guests arrive — when the light is soft, flattering, and less direct.

This also allows couples to enjoy their ceremony and reception without rushing to fit in photos later.

Offer seasonal touches for guests

Spring is all about fresh, thoughtful details. Welcome guests with lemonade or fruit-infused water stations, or add floral ice cubes to your drinks for a subtle touch of charm.

Lighter fare — like garden-inspired appetizers or citrus desserts — fits the season beautifully. And at The Rooftop, guests can also enjoy the golf lounge or bar service by Copa Bar, which make for fun pre-reception mingling spaces while you take photos.

Another popular idea? A custom soda bar. Spring weddings are the perfect time to set up a colorful drink station with fruit garnishes, flavored syrups, and fun paper straws. Whether you keep it classic or create a few signature soda combinations named after you and your partner, it’s a playful, interactive element guests of all ages love.

Capture the season in your décor

Bring spring’s natural beauty to life with light, airy fabrics and organic textures. Think chiffon runners, floating candles, and greenery garlands. Minimal décor works well in venues like The Rooftop, where clean architecture and natural light do much of the work.

If you love color, choose a few standout spring elements — such as pastel taper candles, floral-print linens, or pressed-flower signage — for a touch of personality.

Book early — spring dates go fast

Spring is one of Utah County’s busiest wedding seasons, and venues with both indoor and outdoor options often book up a year in advance. If you’re dreaming of a spring celebration, now’s the perfect time to start touring spaces and reserving your date.

The Rooftop Lehi offers the perfect balance of modern design, flexible spaces, and weather-proof convenience — all with a bright, timeless atmosphere that fits the season effortlessly.
