Spring vs. Fall Weddings at The Bedford: Which Season is Best for Your Nashville Wedding?
Choosing your wedding date is one of the first (and biggest!) decisions you’ll make while planning your big day. And if you're torn between a spring wedding and a fall wedding in Nashville, you’re definitely not alone. I have wondered this way, way too often when planning my own wedding!
At The Bedford, one of the most unique and charming event venues in Nashville, we’ve hosted stunning weddings in every season. But spring and fall are consistently the most popular- and for good reason! Spring provides cooler temperatures (sometimes) and greenery everywhere, but fall provides relief from the pollen and rainstorms. So which is best?
A Spring Wedding At The Bedford
Fresh Blooms & Vibrant Greenery
Spring transforms The Bedford’s gardens and courtyards into a lush, romantic backdrop. Our venue’s historic brick architecture looks stunning surrounded by blooming flowers and bright green foliage. Our gardens and landscaping transport you to a serene escape from the city around you.
Comfortable Temperatures
Spring in Nashville usually means mild temps in the 60s–70s. It’s perfect for an outdoor ceremony followed by an indoor reception in our elegant ballroom, and if you happen to get hit by a rainstorm or a humid day, our covered pavilion allows your guests to enjoy the patio while staying cool and dry.
Soft, Romantic Color Palettes
Spring lends itself to pastel palettes—blush pink, sage green, soft lavender—that pair beautifully with The Bedford’s classic aesthetic. The hydrangeas bloom at this time in white and baby blues, a perfect contrast to the brick and beam.
A Fall Wedding At The Bedford
Moody Colors & Golden Hour Magic
Fall brings rich, earthy tones like terracotta, burgundy, and forest green. Combine that with golden-hour lighting and crisp air, and you've got a vibe that’s effortlessly romantic. Nothing beats a golden glow against the rich red brick, or the delicate red leaves against the intricate exterior of the building.
Cozy, Seasonal Decor
The Bedford’s indoor and outdoor spaces are perfect for fall touches like pumpkins, candles, and warm-toned florals. You can also lean into rustic or vintage styles that feel right at home in our historic venue. This is the perfect time to lean into that Nashville vibe- think whiskey barrels and vintage farm equipment.
Which Season Is Right For YOU?
Both spring and fall weddings are stunning at The Bedford—it all comes down to your personal style and vision.
If you love blooming gardens, lighter colors, and a fresh, romantic feel, spring might be your perfect match. If you know the humidity and potential storms may be a point of stress, consider the fall.
If you're drawn to bold colors, crisp air, and cozy vibes, a fall wedding could be just right- just be ready for those temperatures to dip fast once the sun goes down!
Whichever season you choose, The Bedford offers the charm, flexibility, and elegance to make your dream day unforgettable—no matter the season.
