“March winds and April showers bring forth May flowers…” and gardens full of newlyweds! 

 

Spring weddings and elopements are upon us, and we’re so excited for the season’s new trends. We expect to see layered pearls, big bows, Victorian-inspired puffs and embroidered corset paneling – plus custom unity ceremonies, unusual and ‘repurposed’ venues, simple ‘city hall inspired’ ceremonies over brunch, and lighthearted elopements filled with laughter.

 

Although some officiants confirm that bookings are off to a slow start this year, we’re already seeing a big boost in online searches for wedding ceremony scripts. 

 

It’s going to be a fun year for weddings!

 

Below, we've compiled the season's most searched-for, viewed, and downloaded ceremony scripts in our script library. These ceremonies have been selected thousands of times in the past few months as couples for spring; use them 'as is,' or personalize them with unity rituals, readings, and written vows to make them uniquely yours. 

 

Here are the 2024 Spring wedding season’s most sought after wedding ceremony scripts in order, starting with the most popular choice.
