Planning a wedding is all about creating a moment that feels true to you. And one of the easiest ways to start shaping your vision? Letting the seasons guide you.

Each season brings its own energy, colors, and vibe—and at our venue, we’ve seen couples bring those vibes to life in amazing ways. Whether you're dreaming of a cozy autumn celebration, a spring garden ceremony, or a laid-back summer bash, there’s a way to make every season shine.

Here’s some inspiration for how to make the most of each season at our venue.


🌸 Spring: Fresh Starts & Flower Power

Spring weddings are full of soft light, new beginnings, and flowers—so many flowers. If you’re someone who loves nature waking up after a long winter, this season might be your match.

Color Palette Ideas:Think blush pinks, sage greens, lavender, and soft yellows. Pastels are a classic, but don’t be afraid to mix in richer tones like dusty rose or mauve to add depth.

Decor & Style Tips:Lean into garden vibes with overflowing florals, hanging greenery, and vintage accents. You can even host your ceremony under a blooming tree on the property (yep, we have a few stunners).

Spring Perks at Our Venue:

  • Blooming landscaping that makes your photos look like a fairytale

  • Mild weather for outdoor ceremonies

  • Golden hour light that’s next-level dreamy

Pro Tip:Spring can be unpredictable, so we always have an indoor backup plan ready in case of a surprise shower.


☀️ Summer: Bold, Bright & Full of Life

Summer weddings are the definition of celebration. If you want your big day to feel like one big joyful party, this season brings the heat (literally and figuratively).

Color Palette Ideas:Go vibrant—think coral, turquoise, sunflower yellow, or tropical greens. You can also go minimalist with crisp white and pops of gold or navy.

Decor & Style Tips:Set up lawn games, rent a vintage ice cream cart, or offer signature cocktails at a fun outdoor bar setup. Consider fans or parasols for guests if you’re planning a mid-day ceremony.

Summer Perks at Our Venue:

  • Our full outdoor setup shines in the summer months

  • Plenty of natural light for incredible photos

  • Longer days = more time to party

Pro Tip:Plan for hydration. We’ve seen couples create water stations with fruit-infused water that double as décor. Simple and smart.


🍂 Fall: Warm Colors & Cozy Feels

There’s something about autumn that just feels romantic. Maybe it’s the changing leaves or the crisp air—but either way, it’s the perfect season for a cozy, moody wedding.

Color Palette Ideas:Burgundy, burnt orange, deep plum, mustard yellow, and forest green. Rich, earthy tones make fall weddings pop.

Decor & Style Tips:Candlelit tables, rustic wood accents, and seasonal touches like mini pumpkins or dried florals set the tone. Add blankets in a basket for guests to stay warm during outdoor ceremonies.

Fall Perks at Our Venue:

  • Gorgeous foliage on our property in peak season

  • Great indoor/outdoor flow to stay flexible with the weather

  • Perfect light for golden hour portraits

Pro Tip:Fall is a popular season, so book early. You’re not the only one dreaming of those amber-hued photos!


❄️ Winter: Elegant, Intimate & Magical

Winter weddings don’t always get the spotlight—but they should. If you're into cozy vibes, dramatic looks, or anything that feels a little more non-traditional, winter could be your sweet spot.

Color Palette Ideas:Deep jewel tones like emerald, navy, and burgundy are stunning. You can also go icy and elegant with silver, white, and dusty blue.

Decor & Style Tips:Candlelight, twinkle lights, and velvet textures bring instant warmth. Set up a hot chocolate or cider bar, and don’t be afraid to go a little extra with your décor—it looks amazing in winter’s softer lighting.

Winter Perks at Our Venue:

  • More date availability and flexible pricing

  • Cozy indoor spaces that feel intimate and welcoming

  • Unique photo ops (especially if it snows)

Pro Tip:Let the season work for you. Embrace the drama of a winter backdrop and get creative with your ceremony and reception design.


Making the Season Yours

Whatever season you choose, our biggest piece of advice is this: make it your own. Your wedding should reflect you—not just what Pinterest says a spring or fall wedding should look like.

Want a bonfire reception in July? Let’s do it. Dreaming of snowflakes and disco balls in December? We love that energy. Our team is here to bring your seasonal vision to life, in whatever way feels most “you.”


Ready to Tour?

Whether you're still picking your date or you've already got your dream season locked in, we’d love to show you what your big day could look like here. Reach out to schedule a tour or ask us any questions—we’re happy to help.


And no matter the season, just know: you bring the love, we’ll handle the magic.
