While pastels and floral details are understandably popular choices for a spring wedding, it can become difficult to set your nuptials apart from others. Though watercolor designs have been a growing trend over the past year or so, the artistic style will always offer a unique element to your celebration because the design itself is one-of-a-kind in nature. Perfect for a romantic wedding, watercolor details provide an elegant softness to any detail. With the right touch, the artistic style can add vibrant colors or the palest of hues to your décor.

Watercolor can be incorporated into your big day with professionally painted landscapes or designs. However, it’s also an accessible trend for DIY-inclined brides who simply want to add a splash of color to their design details.
