Love in Bloom: Tips for a Spring Wedding at Elysian Hills
Spring in Australia carries its own kind of magic. At Elysian Hills, the days stretch a little longer, the air softens, and the hills roll into vibrant greens scattered with wildflowers. Jasmine and wattle drift on the breeze, and the sky feels endlessly blue—an atmosphere that is both calming and full of promise. For couples dreaming of a wedding that feels timeless, natural, and alive with possibility, spring is the perfect season.
Here are a few thoughtful tips to make the most of a spring celebration at Elysian Hills.
1. Embrace the Light
Australian spring skies are generous with golden light. Early mornings offer a quiet, gentle glow perfect for a first look, while evenings bring that honeyed sunset that lingers across the hills. Planning your timeline around these moments ensures your photos capture the season’s luminous beauty.
2. Play with Seasonal Blooms
Spring is a florist’s delight. Bouquets of jasmine, sweet peas, peonies, and ranunculus add fragrance and texture that feel effortless yet abundant. Choosing blooms that thrive in the season ensures they look their freshest throughout the day.
3. Layers of Comfort
Spring days can still hold a cool breeze, especially as the sun dips. Light wraps, soft throws, or even a firepit after dark give guests a sense of warmth and welcome, while adding to the relaxed, intimate atmosphere.
4. Let Nature Lead the Palette
The hills themselves provide the most elegant palette—lush greens, ivory blossoms, soft yellows, and dusky pinks. Leaning into earthy tones and pastels in attire and décor creates harmony with the setting, allowing the natural landscape to shine.
5. Celebrate Indoors and Out
At Elysian Hills, the flow between outdoor and indoor spaces is seamless. Picture vows beneath the open sky, champagne under the veranda, and dancing inside the barn as the stars appear. The season’s shifting moods only add to the charm.
6. Lean into the Unexpected
Spring can surprise you—a brief shower, a sudden burst of sun—but it’s all part of the story. Many couples find these moments create some of their most cherished memories: laughter under umbrellas, a rainbow after rain, or the sparkle of sunlight breaking through clouds.
