Why You Should Plan a Spring Wedding or Elopement in Washington State

If you’re ready to tie the knot but unsure which season to choose for your dreamy forest wedding, consider this your nudge toward spring, the most underrated season in Pacific Northwest!

Throughout this blog, I’ve compiled a list of reasons why spring is an especially enchanting (and smart!) time of year to say “I Do” in western Washington. There are so many magical details that make spring weddings and elopements so unique.

If you’re feeling inspired to start planning your own wedding after reading, check out our Wedding Venue Open House this April! It’s an event where you can plan your forest wedding in just one day. Plus, you’ll receive a sweet discount on your wedding package. More information about the event and discount at the end of the blog.

The Forest

The first, and perhaps most important, aspect of a wedding is the location. At Treehouse Point, celebrations are held on our gorgeous forest property, surrounded by towering trees and nestled among our treehouses.

Spring weddings are also known as our “forest fairy weddings” because of how whimsical the property feels during this time of year. While the evergreens stay vibrant year-round, our deciduous plants make their grand return in spring, bringing the rest of the forest to life with color!

Notice how the ferns take on a brilliant shade of green, signaling new growth throughout the property. Flowers, such as the beautiful rhododendron, Washington’s state flower, begin to blossom in gorgeous shades of reds, pinks, and purples.

The Flowers

Our favorite flowers are in full bloom during the springtime! Peonies, tulips, daffodils, sweet peas, spring roses, lily of the valley, and lilacs all make their appearance, offering endless inspiration for bouquets that feel lush and beautiful.

Imagine your enchanting wedding dinner with each table featuring a beautiful floral centerpiece like this for your guests.

Take advantage of spring’s natural abundance and cut costs by choosing your favorite in-season dream florals.

3. The Weather

Spring in Washington State is ever-changing in the most romantic way. Some days feel moody and overcast, wrapping the venue in that classic Pacific Northwest charm, while others are bright and sunlit, bringing the colors of spring to life.

Temperatures are mild, which makes the season perfect for outdoor ceremonies tucked beneath the trees or by the river.

Picture you and your one true love posing for romantic portraits down by the river.

If rain does threaten to make an appearance, we have cozy indoor options like the Pond Room, or a collection of charming umbrellas for a cinematic moment on the lawn.

Western Washington is known for its gentle drizzle, but it’s rare for the sky to turn dark with a heavy storm. These soft, rainy moments feel the most romantic.

This photo was taken in late January, but I had to include a moody umbrella shot so you could see it in action. Now imagine the same scene bathed in the soft glow of a springtime forest. Utterly magical.

The Advantages of Good Timing

Early spring is often considered the “off season,” but we like to think of it as one of the Pacific Northwest’s best-kept secrets.

Booking in early spring offers more flexibility in securing your ideal wedding date and vendor team, as it’s a quieter time of year for bookings.

Spring also brings clear, crisp air and bright, sunny days, with fewer bugs than in the height of summer.

These are the woodland paths you’ll follow to spend your wedding night tucked away in a treehouse, high among the canopies. Truly, this time of year adds a special type of magic to the venue.

And there you have it—some of our favorite reasons to book your wedding during this season of magic and renewal. Spring brings breathtaking beauty to the Pacific Northwest, and offers a perfect opportunity to take advantage of a quieter, more intimate season.
