Embracing Butter Yellow: SPRING/SUMMER 2025 Wedding Trend

2025 bride?

Still trying to curate your colour palette?

We’re here to help - by shining a light on a colour that is SO on trend this year. Yellow, particularly soft, warm, and sophisticated tones, particularly in the form of "butter yellow" or "honey butter" shades.

A colour choice that is often associated with happiness, joy and optimism. That can create a lively and inviting atmosphere for your wedding day, so how can you do it?

Bridesmaid Dresses

Butter yellow or honey butter shades are a popular choice for bridesmaid dresses, especially this year and offer a soft and elegant touch. 

Bouquets & Decor

Yellow flowers, particularly in the pastel shades mentioned above, can be used in bouquets and centrepieces and add a touch of warmth and light to the venue. 

Table Settings

Butter yellow can be incorporated into table settings in a variety of ways through linens, napkins, and even place card holders. 

Looking to incorporate other colours alongside your yellow pastilles?

Why not team your yellows with grey or white?

Or follow these themes depending on the season of your special day:

Spring - Yellow and pastel shades

Summer - Yellow and other bright colours like oranges and pinks!

Go BOLD or go HOME!

Bohemian Theme - yellow can be used to add a touch of bohemian flair to a wedding, often paired with natural elements like wood and greenery (which we have plenty of at Happy Valley Norfolk)

We can’t wait to see our couples incorporate this versatile, elegant theme in their weddings this year!

  • Easter Feasts: Many families gather for a special meal, often featuring lamb, ham, or other festive foods.

The Connection to Spring

Easter coincides with the arrival of spring in the Northern Hemisphere, reinforcing themes of renewal and rebirth. Many Easter customs, such as egg decorating and celebrating fertility, have roots in ancient pagan festivals that honored the changing seasons.
