Spring Weddings

Spring is considered to be the time for rebirth and renewal; and is thus the best time for the birth of your new wedded life. When compared to summer and autumn, spring weddings come third in place. However, there are some advantages to a spring wedding.

One of the best spring wedding ideas is to consider what it is that enthralls you about the season. If it is the blooming flowers, a floral abundance that offers warmth to guests is a great idea. And if it is the emerging sunshine that you like, then you could use bright colors and May weather as the theme for the wedding.

If the wedding is to be held in a church, you could use their Easter decorations instead of buying new ones. However, since prom is near the corner, you will have to book limousines and tuxedos well in advance. When it comes to the wedding dress, most wedding dresses are large skirts that prove to be too warm for the summer; or sleeveless tops that are too cold for winter. So it is better to choose a versatile dress that can be used as a wrap when cold, while being light and airy. Adding a hint of color as a baby blue sash, colorful embroidery and a hint of pink are great spring wedding ideas.

Let your bridesmaid choose the color and cut of their dress; like turquoise or lime green dresses with pink bouquets. As there is a possibility of rains in a spring wedding, you could consider buying large umbrellas. Moreover, a bride and groom under a black umbrella really look romantic! Choose a menu with fresh young vegetables like baby asparagus, new potatoes and baby carrots. Invite Easter with either a chocolate cake with coconut icing, or a carrot cake with a cream cheese icing for the spring wedding. Mangos, strawberries and rhubarb are all great spring wedding menu ideas.

Spring is the season of flowers so use them in abundance. Make centerpieces of white baskets with an abundance of spring flowers. Roses, hyacinth and Gerber daisies combined to form the floral bouquet is a great spring wedding idea. Tie the bouquet with polka dot or striped ribbon for a look of freshness. Sending your guests home with a chocolate Easter bunny, a birds nest with robin’s egg candies and ceramic Easter eggs are great spring wedding ideas.
