Spring is my favorite season. I love the cool temperatures and the fact that the sun stays out later. I love the blossoms on the trees and seeing all the new spring flowers. Springtime is a season that naturally lends itself to romance and rejuvenation. Its arrival brings a sense of renewal and endless possibilities. To make spring extra special I’ve come up with 15 ways to romanticize springtime to help us all get the most out of my favorite time of year.
Picnic in a Blossoming Park: Pack a basket with your favorite foods, a soft blanket, and find a spot surrounded by blooming flowers. The simplicity of dining al fresco amidst nature’s beauty will make you feel like the main character.
Sunrise or Sunset Walks: Taking walks during the golden hours of sunrise or sunset offers a splendid backdrop. The soft light not only makes everything look more beautiful, but creates feelings of peace.
Outdoor Movie Night: Set up a screen in your backyard, lay down some blankets, and watch a romantic movie under the stars. Don’t forget the popcorn and cozy blankets. If, like me, you don’t have a screen, I’ll just watch a movie on my laptop on my picnic blanket.
Some of my favorite movies to watch in the springtime are the 2005 Pride and Prejudice and the 2020 Emma. And if you’re in the mood for a show I’d recommend Bridgerton.
Have a Spring-Themed Photoshoot: Capture the essence of springtime with a photoshoot among the spring blossoms. Use flowers as props or wear pastel colors to add to the seasonal vibe.
Ride Bikes Through Blooming Landscapes: Whether it’s through the countryside or a city park, biking during spring lets you cover more ground and enjoy the bursting colors and scents of the season.
Host a Spring Feast: Invite friends and family over for a meal where every dish is inspired by spring ingredients. It’s a beautiful way to share the love and bounty of the season. This article has the perfect menu for any spring dinner party.
Take a Painting Class: Sign up for a painting class and choose a spring scene to recreate. Expressing creativity together can be very bonding. If you don’t want to take a painting class or don’t have an attainable one near you can always do an at home paint and sip night with a paint by numbers kit.
Dance in the Rain: You know the saying, April showers bring May flowers. If a spring shower catches you, don’t rush for cover. Instead, dance in the rain. It’s a liberating experience that epitomizes the spirit of spring.
Create a Spring Playlist: Compile a playlist of songs that remind you of spring and each other. Music has a way of capturing moments and emotions like nothing else.
Star Gaze in a Clear Night: With warmer nights, take the opportunity to lie back and watch the stars. It’s a reminder of the vastness of the universe and the beauty of the little moments.
Plant a Garden: Whether it’s a flower garden or a vegetable patch, planting something together symbolizes growth and new beginnings. If, like me, you don’t have land to plant an outdoor garden, you can always set up a collection of small pots to plant an herb garden.
Make Homemade Lemonade: I love a refreshing glass of lemonade on a warm spring day. My personal favorite is strawberry lemonade, I feel it most embodies the vibrant spirit of spring. Here are 17 homemade lemonade recipes for you to try this spring.
Transition to a Spring Wardrobe: This has been a seasonal ritual for me for many years. It is one of my favorite ways to romanticize a new season. I get my spring clothes out of storage and plan outfits on Pinterest. When it comes to a spring wardrobe think: Lighter fabrics, brighter colors, and high-quality linens, cotton, and denim.
Play a New Sport: Playing a new sport in the spring boosts physical health, mental well-being, and social connections, offering fresh challenges and fun as you enjoy the great outdoors. This spring, I’m taking up pickleball. Pickleball combines ping pong and tennis and has very simple rules, giving you endless hours of fun. It’s also a great way to deepen friendships and create new ones.
Volunteer for Outdoor Community Work: Bond over giving back by participating in a community garden or cleanup project. It’s a meaningful way to spend time together while contributing to the beauty of your surroundings.
Springtime is a reminder that the world is constantly renewing itself—and with a little creativity, you can participate in all the joys of the spring. By engaging in these activities, you’re not just romanticizing the season; you’re actively participating in its renewal. I hope you have a wonderful rest of your spring season.
