Spring Weddings Made Simple: Hire a Marquee for Style and Comfort

The whole appeal of throwing a wedding in spring is being able to enjoy an abundance of blooms – and perhaps even plenty of sunshine, some pleasant weather, and a comfortable breeze. This in a nutshell, is why the best spring weddings are outdoor shindigs – and as we all know, the best outdoor shindigs use marquees!

Hiring a marquee can simplify planning a spring wedding while providing style, comfort, and flexibility. But as is the case for any outdoor event, you will need to plan with some seasonal considerations in mind to ensure your event space is stylish, presentable, and most importantly comfortable for your guests.

Today, our event planning experts at Marquee Monkeys are here to share their top tips on how you can elevate your outdoor spring wedding set-up, providing all their professional insights across all things marquee installation and even spring wedding decor.

Why Spring is Ideal for Outdoor Weddings

All seasons have their pros and cons when it comes to setting a date for your wedding day, but according to research conducted by the Australian Institute of Family Studies that specifically looked into wedding dates, the most common times of the year for wedding days falls between both February to April, and September to November. This means that autumn and spring are the most popular seasons in Australia to tie the knot!

What makes these two seasons so perfect for weddings? Well alongside both being transitional seasons that are less likely to boast hot and cold weather extremes, autumn and spring also have their own unique beauty to them. For brides looking for a splash of contrast to their wedding shots, the combination of falling red leaves and black bare trees can provide an ideal backdrop.

Contrastingly, hopeful spring brides-to-be can enjoy all the vibrant colours of spring blossoms and all the wedding decor inspiration that accompanies these blooms. Spring also provides typically longer daylight hours and more chances of brilliant sun when compared to autumn, making it easier to take outdoor snaps with great lighting conditions.

Of course, neither spring nor autumn are without some seasonal risks. Spring here along Australia’s south and south-eastern coast typically means strong winds and maybe even some unexpected rain. This means weather protection is still a must for wedding parties looking to either host their ceremony or reception outside – or even just for brides and grooms that want to snap a few outdoor shots during the golden hour.

This is where finding the right wedding marquee hire can help safeguard your spring wedding planning. With sturdy and reliable shelter to count on on your wedding day, you can make sure your spring provides all the fairytale garden vibes without any weather-related fuss.

Benefits of Marquee Hire for Spring Weddings

Weather protection is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the benefits of marquee hire for spring weddings, however. Here are just some of the other key advantages of opting for a wedding marquee for your spring nuptials.

Unbeatable Flexibility for your Wedding Venue

Looking to tie the knot in some botanic gardens, parklands, or even in a private backyard? With a show-stopping wedding marquee, you can transform any environment into a stunning spring wedding venue. Our spring wedding marquees are also available in a wide variety of sizes – so whether you’re after a 6 metre marquee for an intimate ceremony or a 15 metre marquee and beyond for larger celebrations, our team at Marquee Monkeys can set you up with exactly what you need.

Simply put, a marquee provides the ultimate flexible wedding venue option that helps you select a springtime space that fits you and your soon-to-be spouse best.

Customisable Styles to Suit all Spring Weddings

Alongside being available in a wide range of sizes, our spring wedding marquees also come in different customisable styles. Did you want a white marquee for a traditional, romantic feel, or were you after clear span marquees to maximise your natural light availability? Or what if you were after a few different custom marquees for hire? Whatever you’re looking for for your spring wedding, we can help you curate an outdoor event space that works perfectly for you.

You can also decorate your wedding marquee in whatever style and decor solutions best suit your theme or colour schemes. Plus, our team can also set you up with matching tables and chairs and other party furnishings and decor to make sure your event space is cohesive and inviting.

Secure Comfort for your Wedding Guests

On top of customisable designs, our wedding marquees and other accessories like our tables, chairs, and outdoor lighting and heating solutions can help keep your guests comfortable all throughout the festivities.

Our wedding marquees for hire from ample protection from sun, wind, and rain – and with plenty of flooring, heating, and ventilation options to choose from as well, you can make sure your outdoor wedding still feels warm and cosy even as the sun begins to set.

Simplified Spring Wedding Planning

Finally, navigating a wedding marquee is a lot simpler than navigating other types of venue spaces. Marquees offer a centralised space for catering, seating, and entertainment. This makes it easier to manage logistics for your spring wedding when compared to juggling multiple locations or environments at traditional venues.

How to Choose the Right Marquee Hire for your Spring Wedding

Have we sold you on hiring a marquee for your spring wedding yet? If so, you may now be wondering how to select the right marquee for your special day.

Thankfully, our experts at Marquee Monkeys have provided countless couples with support here, so let us share them with you today. Here are just some of the most important considerations you’ll need to make when finding the right marquee for your spring wedding.

Guest Lists, Venue Space, & Layout

Knowing your numbers regarding RSVPs can help you determine what size marquee you need. Here, be sure to consider seating arrangements and table placement. If you’re looking to incorporate a dancefloor, you’ll also need to make sure there’s adequate space for boogying down without risks of guests elbowing each other.

Marquee Size Guide

Are you looking to host your ceremony and reception in the same space or perhaps instead to create different zones? If so, you could opt for either two small marquees or one big marquee. Our marquee size guide can help you determine what dimensions you need for your spring wedding event space.

Seasonal Considerations

Even though open-air weddings in spring can be breezy, opting for walled marquees may affect airflow and lighting despite providing protection from harsh elements like wind and rain. Be sure to keep these environmental factors in mind when designing your spring venue space and setting up your marquee.

Our Top Professional Styling Tips for Spring Marquee Weddings

Throwing an outdoor spring wedding honestly isn’t too far away from planning a garden party – except for the fact that you’ll likely need to account for more guests. Aside from that though, your spring wedding decor can boast a balance of magic and organic elements.

Here are some of our fan-favourite professional styling tips for decorating your spring wedding marquee:

Use Pastel Colour Palettes & Seasonal Blooms

Spring is the season of delicate coloured blooms, so using these same natural pastel colours in your wedding colour schemes will go a long way. These pastel colours are sure to pair well with a white or clear marquee for a timeless spring feel, or provide striking contrast when used with sleek black marquees.

Design Vertically as well as Horizontally

When you think of ‘spring wedding decor’, you should be thinking about flowering vines, hanging florals, strings or fairy lights or festoon lights, and dynamic floral centrepieces and other freestanding arrangements.

In essence, spring is a season of lush greenery, so designing with a little verticality in mind can help provide some extra dimension to your spring wedding set-up.

Look into Sensible & Stylish Flooring Options

There are plenty of different flooring options available for spring wedding marquees, ranging from sensible carpeting, to wooden flooring, non-slip flooring, and other outdoor-friendly surfaces. We can even set you up with non-slip dancefloors that are perfect for open-air spring celebrations.

Consider your Wedding Photography Requirements

Finally, the secret to flawless wedding photography in spring is ensuring your venue has plenty of natural lighting. This is why our clear span marquees are such a popular choice for weddings around this time of the year.

If you wanted a white marquee, however, consider at least keeping some of the sides of your tent open rather than walled to let in extra natural light. Your walls can be added in as needed too, so if it does start to rain or the wind starts to pick up at all, you can make sure you and your guests are still protected.
