Planning the Spring Wedding

Spring signifies the birth of many plants and animals. The ground comes to life in an amazing array of flowers. Baby chicks, calves, and foals can be seen frolicking in the fields. Spring is also an important time for a wedding ceremony. Sunny days, cool breezes, and the smell of grass and flowers create an excellent backdrop to the big day.

Choosing Spring Wedding Flowers and Colors

In the spring, outdoor weddings become extremely popular. Bouquets of fresh cut tulips, lilacs, and daffodils complement a tea length gown. Bridesmaids can be dressed in pale yellows, lilac purple, light greens, and pale blues. Pastels all seem very spring-like and seasonal.

Choosing the Proper Dress Design for the Spring Wedding

The array of colors is varied and suitable for both casual and formal weddings. With the warming temperatures, sleeveless gowns and slimmed down skirts all work well compared to the heavier materials that are necessary in the fall and winter months. It can get chilly on a spring evening though, so consider including warm, matching wraps for all of your bridesmaids’ outfits.

Choosing the Location for the Spring Wedding

An outdoor wedding can be held in almost any backyard garden. You need not book months in advance to ensure a church wedding, unless that is what you desire. Renting a large tent, seating, and then hiring a caterer to prepare a buffet meal is an outstanding way to bring a casual feel to any wedding. Things can be low-key or kicked up a notch easily and effectively. One idea is to find an in that has an outdoor pond. A wedding on a spring morning with the sun making the pond glisten provides an intriguing backdrop for pictures, as well as a memorable scene for guests to remember decades later.

Planning the Reception for the Spring Wedding

In the springtime, your reception hall can be decorated with vases of fresh lilacs on every table. Tea light candles add a soft glow to the room. Mint green tablecloths with silver candelabras add a romantic touch. Many tents can be rented with dance floors and heaters ensuring your wedding reception can last until the wee hours. Crystal bowls filled with pastel colored dinner mints is a neat touch that will appeal to both children and adults.

For a dinner reception, consider a classic Easter spread. Roast ham, roast lamb, baby carrots, fresh peas, and new potatoes are all food that evokes memories of spring. A chocolate wedding cake filled with strawberry cream is extremely fitting and delicious! Bowls of fruit salad, fresh asparagus, spinach salad with an orange vinaigrette, and strawberry champagne punch all fit in with a menu that focuses on available produce.

Selecting Wedding Invitations for the Spring Wedding

Your wedding invitations can easily tie into a springtime theme. Embossed images of lilacs, daisies, daffodils all fit in, as do borders utilizing pastel stripes or pastel ribbons. Consider using mint green backgrounds that are adorned by a silver ribbon at the top.

A springtime wedding is suitable for all ages. With the arrival of spring representing birth and renewal, revolving a wedding around this theme is a beautiful way to tie in the start of a new life together.
