As the days grow longer and the air gets warmer, late May and early June mark a magical moment in the event calendar. At Heroes Ballroom, we love helping our clients embrace this transitional season with decor that effortlessly flows from spring’s gentle elegance to summer’s vibrant energy. Whether you’re planning a wedding, bridal shower, or corporate event, this guide offers fresh, seasonal ideas to wow your guests and bring your vision to life.
1. Blossoms in Bloom: The Best Flowers for the Season
Florals are the heart of spring and summer decor. In late May, you’ll still catch the best of spring blooms like peonies, tulips, and ranunculus. But by early June, summer favorites like dahlias, zinnias, and sunflowers begin to take center stage.
We recommend creating layered floral arrangements that blend both seasons. Pair pastel pink peonies with bold yellow sunflowers or soft white hydrangeas with vibrant coral roses. For something truly eye-catching, consider hanging floral installations or flower walls to serve as your event’s visual anchor.
2. Color Palettes That Pop
In May, pastel tones still reign supreme—think blush, sage, butter yellow, and robin’s egg blue. As you move into June, these colors can be accented with richer hues like coral, teal, and even metallics.
Consider a gradient theme that begins with light spring tones for the ceremony and transitions into deeper shades for the reception. This not only creates a stunning visual journey for your guests but also complements the changing daylight and evening ambiance.

3. Lighting That Transforms the Space
Spring-to-summer events benefit immensely from thoughtful lighting design. Early evenings in May call for soft, ambient lighting like string lights and lanterns, while June’s longer daylight hours invite bolder lighting displays as the sun sets.
We love incorporating:
- Color-changing LED uplights to match evolving event tones
- Fairy lights and tea candles for intimate table decor
4. Tablescapes with Seasonal Flair
Transitioning from spring to summer is the perfect time to introduce fresh greenery and seasonal fruits into your table design. Centerpieces with eucalyptus, lemons, or berries offer a fresh, organic feel.
Use textured elements like rattan chargers or bamboo cutlery to subtly signal the shift toward summer. Mix pastel linens with floral-patterned napkins to bridge the seasonal gap.
If you’re planning a wedding or shower, consider customizing your place cards with small floral details that match your bouquet or centerpieces.
5. Seasonal Signature Drinks and Treats
A memorable event isn’t complete without a menu to match the season. Spring-inspired beverages like lavender lemonade or cucumber spritzers pair beautifully with lighter fare. As summer approaches, consider switching to tropical touches—think pineapple mojitos or watermelon sangria.
Our event planning staff can help you coordinate with preferred caterers to build a menu that evolves from spring to summer flavors seamlessly.
6. Decor Elements That Wow
Make the most of our versatile ballroom space by adding decor elements that capture both the essence of spring and the energy of summer. Ideas include:
- A flower-adorned ceremony arch that transforms into a photo booth backdrop
- Draped fabric in flowing, ombré colors that mimic a sunset
- Seasonal wreaths or garlands along entryways or staircases
- Live floral runners down long dining tables
7. Bringing It All Together
Whether you’re leaning into the soft serenity of spring or the bright cheer of summer, late May and early June offer a unique opportunity to blend the best of both worlds. At Heroes Ballroom, we’re passionate about helping you tell your seasonal story with decor that delights from the first look to the final dance.
