Spring Event Trends to Watch.

Spring has arrived, and with it comes a renewed sense of energy, colour, and celebration. At Ambrym Estate, our sprawling lawns, lush gardens, and sweeping views of the Southern Great Barrier Reef make the perfect backdrop for spring gatherings. This season, we’re seeing couples and event hosts embrace creativity, sustainability, and natural beauty in new and exciting ways. Here are the top spring trends shaping weddings and private events.

1. Garden-Inspired Ceremonies & Receptions

Spring is all about the outdoors, and couples are making the most of our manicured lawns and Pavilion space. From saying “I do” surrounded by greenery to dining under open skies, nature itself becomes the décor. Think trellises dressed in climbing florals, tables nestled into garden spaces, and events flowing seamlessly from day into evening.

2. All-White Florals with a Twist
Classic white florals never go out of style, but this spring they’re being reimagined with fresh interpretations. Lush orchids, hydrangeas, roses, and sculptural greenery, all readily available in Queensland, are being paired to create arrangements that feel both modern and timeless. Clean palettes are elevated with unexpected textures, making a striking statement for any spring celebration.

3. Playful Pops of Colour

For those seeking a bolder aesthetic, spring events are embracing joyful pops of colour; citrus tones, pastel palettes, or even bold combinations of pink and coral. These palettes reflect the vibrancy of the season and pair beautifully with Ambrym’s coastal backdrop.

4. Immersive Tablescapes

Gone are the days of simple linen and centrepieces. Hosts are creating full sensory experiences with layered textures, patterned napery, mixed glassware, and statement table décor. Long banquets beneath the Pavilion rafters, lit by soft candlelight, are fast becoming a spring signature at Ambrym Estate.

5. Sustainable Celebrations

Couples and event organisers are increasingly mindful of their footprint. From locally grown florals and seasonal menus to reusable décor elements and eco-conscious styling, sustainability is a driving force behind spring events. At Ambrym, our commitment to thoughtful, considered celebrations resonates perfectly with this trend.

6. Cocktails by the Pool

The heart of many Ambrym weddings and events is our resort-style pool. This spring, cocktail hours are spilling outdoors, with signature drinks, light bites, and live acoustic music setting the tone for a relaxed yet sophisticated celebration.

7. Golden Hour Photography

Spring’s longer days mean golden hour lingers, and couples are seizing the moment. Our lawns, gardens, and ocean views provide the perfect stage for photographers to capture that soft, romantic light as the sun dips towards the reef.

8. Seasonal Spring Menus

Spring brings a fresh, vibrant approach to event catering. Chefs are embracing Queensland’s seasonal produce, incorporating fresh seafood, fruits, vegetables, and herbs into colourful, flavourful menus. Think bright asparagus, peas, strawberries, citrus, and baby greens, presented in both elegant canapés and stunning plated dishes. Using in-season ingredients not only enhances flavour but also celebrates the abundance of the region, creating menus that feel light, modern, and perfectly in tune with the season.

9. Blooms in Hair, Gowns, and Event Styling

Spring celebrations are embracing florals in unexpected ways beyond bouquets and table arrangements. Fresh blooms woven into hairstyles, delicate floral appliqués on gowns, and floral accents throughout event décor are creating a cohesive, romantic aesthetic. Locally sourced flowers such as orchids, roses, and native greenery add texture, colour, and natural elegance, tying together the atmosphere of gardens, pavilions, and outdoor spaces for a truly immersive spring experience
