There's no wrong time of the year to say "I do," but for some couples, the season plays a big role in their planning process. With fresh growth, new life, and plenty of blooms, it makes sense why spring would be such a popular season for couples to tie the knot—it’s all about beginnings, after all. If you’re planning a springtime celebration, landing on seasonally appropriate fashion is important for not only aesthetics but comfort as well. The good news is that there are plenty of spring bridesmaid dresses to choose from that’ll ensure your VIPs are outfitted to fit the occasion and the calendar.

Alena Wells, the senior marketing director of Revelry, says when picking out your bridesmaid styles, keeping the weather in mind is crucial, and knowing what to expect from the forecast will help guide your choices. As for colors, most people gravitate toward pastels to play into the cheery season. "Light greens, lilacs, and light pinks are gorgeous during the spring, and of course, neutrals are always in season."

Some of the most popular spring wedding styles are silhouettes with ruffles, bows, and whimsical accents, and to help you narrow down your choices, we've rounded up 18 of our favorite styles sourced from the most reputable sellers. From fun floral prints to magnificent midis, here are the best spring bridesmaid dresses for the sunny season.

What to Look for in Spring Bridal Party Dresses

When searching for the perfect spring bridesmaid dresses, Wells notes it's important to pay attention to the venue and expected weather. Depending on the month and location, some springtime weddings can still be cold while others can feel somewhat sweltering. Generally, it's best to lean toward shorter sleeve options that you can easily throw a jacket over if the night air gets chilly. As for fabrics, Wells says most can work in the season, as long as you consider your location.

As you look for a style, Wells highlights that many couples let their bridesmaids choose their own silhouettes once they land on the color and fabric. This is especially important during warmer months since oftentimes these gowns are shorter, tighter, or involve less fabric. Giving your bridesmaids the reins to choose their own looks allows them to find 'fits that not only flatter their individual figures but ensure they feel confident on your special day as well.

FAQ
  • What fabrics are best for spring bridesmaid dresses?

    Light fabrics such as chiffon and crepe are popular for spring, and Wells notes that satin is becoming especially popular for the season. If you have your eye on heavier materials such as velvet or tulle, just pay attention to the weather, sleeve length, and venue to ensure your party will be comfortable and cool.

  • What colors are most popular for spring bridesmaid dresses?

    When it comes to colors, light and bright hues are big for the season, but that's not to say you can't lean into any color palette that feels right. Look for colors that compliment your setting, day-of vision, and personality.

  • How should you style spring bridesmaid dresses?

    Styling your bridesmaid dresses will depend greatly on the silhouette and venue. Opt for statement earrings instead of a necklace with high neckline gowns but when in doubt, keep the accessories simple. Most importantly, if you're having an outdoor wedding, ensure your party wears appropriate footwear to avoid rolled ankles or sinking heels.
