24 Cherry Blossom Wedding Ideas for Your Springtime Celebration

In many parts of the country, blossoming cherry blossom trees are one of the earliest signs of spring. These delicate pink trees, known as sakura in Japan, are most famously seen in Washington, DC and Toronto, Canada but also bloom in other locations, including Georgia, Texas, Hawaii, Oregon, and more. If you're hosting spring nuptials, particularly in late March or April, a cherry blossom wedding theme is a lovely idea. And there are so many ways to feature cherry blossoms throughout your wedding, from centerpieces and other wedding decor to desserts, stationery, favors, and more. Looking for some cherry blossom wedding inspiration? We’ve gathered some of our favorite cherry blossom wedding ideas to inspire your springtime event.

This pink floral headband features sparkly crystals, pearl details, and of course, lots of pink blooms to decorate your wedding hairstyle. 

9. Pastel Bouquet 

If you're hosting a cherry blossom themed wedding, you don't have to include the blooms in your bouquet. This spring floral arrangement features roses, peonies, greenery, and blossoming branches. 

10. Pink Boutonniere

Cherry blossoms are a bit too delicate to feature in a boutonniere, so pink rosebuds and greenery tied with pink satin ribbon make a lovely alternative. 

11. Ceremony Giveaways

If you're hosting a spring wedding, you already know that anything can happen in terms of the weather—you'll need to be prepared for it to be too hot, too cold, rainy, and more. Why not set up a DIY ceremony station with weather-appropriate giveaways, such as parasols, Japanese fans (a nod to the cherry blossom's origins), or blankets? This sign will help point guests in the right direction. 

12. Cherry Blossom Chuppah

A floral wedding chuppah or wedding arch fashioned from the palest of pink cherry blossom branches is the perfect statement piece for your ceremony.

13. Sofreh Aghd

The traditional Persian wedding ceremony spread is flanked by two stately cherry blossom trees. 

14. Rosé Wall

If you're featuring a cherry blossom wedding theme, rosé is certainly an apt signature beverage. This unique rosé wall allows your guests to grab a drink as soon as they arrive to the reception—plus the stunning floral arrangement is sure to wow. 

15. Cherry Blossom Wedding Centerpiece

Your reception tablescapes are perhaps the most obvious places to feature cherry blossoms. Tall centerpieces featuring abundant blossoms are a must-have. 

16. Pink and White Centerpiece Ideas 

Work with your florist to determine the best floral arrangements for your wedding venue. Your centerpieces can include additional flowers aside from cherry blossoms—we love how these arrangements include hydrangeas and calla lilies, as well. 

17. Table Settings

A cherry blossom wedding theme doesn't mean your reception has to be a pink explosion. Just like cherry blossoms are the subtlest of pink hues, your wedding decor can pair pale pink with other colors, particularly on-trend. This tablescape features floral china and pink glassware, along with ivory tablecloth, gold flatware, and pastel floral centerpieces. 

18. Sophisticated Lounge

No matter what your wedding style may be, a lounge provides a comfortable space for your guests to casually gather during your reception. This velvet lounge furniture feels on-brand for a cherry blossom wedding theme. 

19. Reception Stage

At many South Asian weddings, a stage is created so the couple can watch the event's many performances. In this cherry blossom themed version, a stately tree hangs over the lush velvet settee. 

20. Wedding Cake

This wedding cake takes a modern spin on the classic cherry blossom motif. 

21. Sugar Flowers

These stunning sugar flowers are almost too pretty to eat—almost! These statement-making blooms eliminate the need for a cake topper. 

22. Cupcakes

Should you wish to serve cupcakes rather than or alongside a traditional cake (or give them out as wedding favors!), these mini desserts feature tiny blossoms for added decor. 

23. Desserts 

For even more sweet treats, raspberry panna cotta and pastel macarons are totally on-theme.

24. Balloon Garland

While florals may be the focus for a cherry blossom theme, you can certainly have some fun with your wedding decorations! We love this statement-making pink-and-silver balloon garland. And for even more nostalgia that fits the theme, serve cotton candy as a late-night snack!
