Who doesn't love a spring wedding? The grass is turning green, flowers are starting to bloom, and warmth is in the air. If you've chosen a wedding date in late March, April, May, or early June, it's likely because something about this season speaks to you, so making big-day decisions with seasonality at the forefront will only further personalize your ceremony and reception. While most of your decisions will revolve around springy color palettes and choosing in-season flowers and food, we encourage you to also think about the impact small details can have. Your wedding favors are the perfect example.
While you're in no way required to give out wedding favors, gifting your guests with a small token at the end of the night is a nice way to thank them for being part of the festivities. And, for a spring wedding, choosing a seasonal favor is an easy way to further emphasize the theme of the celebration. Some of our favorite ideas? Fresh flowers, pastel-colored treats, and seasonal herbs and spices.
Ahead, we're sharing 24 spring wedding favor ideas we love. Let these creative, beautiful options inspire you as your choose your own gift for guests.

We love wedding favors that fall into one of two categories: They should either be practical (meaning that guests can actually use them after the wedding) or edible. Fresh, in-season fruit, like the mini strawberry baskets handed out at this southern California wedding, fit the bill. Feel free to treat your guests to any type of in-season produce you love best.

Gourmet chocolate bars are always a hit with guests, and you can make this idea a fit for spring by choosing ones studded with edible flowers.
For their Cape Cod wedding, this couple treated their guests to mini jars of herb blends. To replicate the idea at your own nuptials this spring, send your loved ones home with a mix of seasonally-appropriate herbs, like chives, mint, or lavender.

If you're planning a destination wedding, mini bottles of a local delicacy are always appreciated. At this Italian wedding, guests took home limoncello bottles, and the lemon-flavored liquor feels just right for any springtime celebration.
Is there a favor more appropriate for spring than eco-friendly seed paper? Give every guest a little note thanking them for the attendance; once they're home, they can plant the paper straight into the ground and think back to your wedding every time they bloom. Choose seed paper that blooms into your favorite flowers or pick a variety that's used extensively throughout your wedding décor.
At this backyard wedding in New England, the couple treated guests to mini jars of fresh basil pesto. We love the idea of giving out this or another herby treat during spring—it is the start of growing season, after all!

Guests always love a sweet treat, and the mini boxes of candy given out at this California wedding are the perfect idea to inspire your own big-day favor. To ensure your candy gifts feel seasonally appropriate, box them up in colorful packaging that nods to the rest of your celebration's décor.
Florals for spring can be groundbreaking. At this garden-themed affair, guests went home with floral-printed playing cards, which prove that it's not difficult to choose favors that are practical and pretty.

At this wedding, guests took home cups with the couple's last name inspired by the Masters Golf tournament, which takes place each April. Tie your favor back to any seasonal event you love (the Kentucky Derby and Earth Day are two other fun ideas for spring!) for a clever gift guaranteed to impress.
Have your spring wedding favors pull double duty by choosing a token that can also stand in as a pretty escort card. At this wedding, pressed flowers in frames featured guests' seating assignments, but the names and table numbers can easily be wiped off at the end of the night so that the frames can be used as home décor. Fill frames with your favorite seasonal blooms or a mix of flowers that complement your celebration's overarching color palette.
You can make any favor work for the springtime by picking seasonally-appropriate packaging. At this Virginia wedding, popcorn and seasonings were packaged up in bright pink-and-white striped boxes, which feel just right for this flower-filled season.
Do you have a major sweet tooth? Then a candy wedding favor is the way to go. Just about any type of candy can work for the season if you're creative with your choices. At this New York wedding, the couple treated guests to a confectionary bar where they could pick and choose their favorite sweets to take home. To set up a similar display at your own nuptials this spring, select treats in flavors that nod to the season.
Though there are plenty of colors that speak to the spring season, we think yellow is arguably the most apt: The sun is shining and flowers like daffodils and tulips are beginning to pop. A yellow favor, like a sunny bottle of limoncello, feels just right for a springtime celebration.
The best wedding favors always have a purpose after the big day, and these cute baseball hats—which were given out during an outdoor celebration in Michigan—certainly fit the bill. If you want to do something similar, choose a a neutral color (this blue is a great choice!) that everyone will like and avoid branding that includes your names or wedding date.
If you want to send everyone home with a favor they'll actually use, a little jar of jam is a winner. To make yours appropriate for the season, choose a blend of springtime fruits or make like the couple at this rooftop wedding in Illinois and finish the jar off with a springy ribbon.

Treat your guests to a little post-wedding self-care. Bath bombs, packaged up pretty plastic domes just as this couple did for their wedding in Malibu, make for beautiful, functional favors. Choose scents that nod to the season, like bright citrus or fresh flowers.
Yes, wine makes for a great favor any season of the year, but we think it's especially appropriate in spring. Treat guests to a bottle of your favorite seasonal varietal—rosé feels just right!—that they can enjoy after the party.

Any favor can be made spring-appropriate with a simple color swap. Make like this couple, who tied the knot during an outdoor wedding in Alabama, and give out personalized koozies in a spring-ready hue like pink.
What's more refreshing on a hot spring day than a cold bottle of soda? Guests at this Idaho wedding took home glass bottles of Coca-Cola personalized with their names and wedding date.
Spring weddings, especially those taking place outside, can be warm. In these instances, handing out a beautiful, functional favor, like a wooden fan, is a wonderful idea.
For their Idaho wedding, one couple created a branding station where guests could customize their own hats. If budget allows, a customizable experience like this is bound to be appreciated, but a simple hat station where guests can pick something up to shield them from the springtime sun is always appreciated.

A candle is a classic wedding favor, and you can easily make yours spring-ready by choosing a scent that speaks to the season. Consider floral notes like lilac, lily of the valley, or hyacinth. At this California wedding, the couple chose blue labels as their finishing touch, but you can select a hue that reminds guests of the time of year.

Consider sending guests home with colorful jewelry they can enjoy all spring long. At this California wedding, attendees were able to visit a bangle bar and choose bright accessories to take home at the end of the night.
Wine Case Box If you're hosting a destination wedding, a little bag of travel essentials is one of the most thoughtful favors you can give. At this wedding in Portugal, the couple sent guests home with the must-haves they'd need after the wedding, including candy and hydration packs. For a springtime wedding, choose a color palette that speaks to the season.
