Spring Wedding Ideas
Aug 28th, 2007 by Admin
Spring is a wonderful time for a wedding. Flowers are blooming, the weather is getting warm, and the
pastels and bright colors of the season are perfect for a beautiful wedding theme. Many brides choose
spring weddings because the attire is lighter – strapless gowns or long, flowing silk dresses are ideal for
the ceremony and reception. Try these spring wedding ideas for an elegant seasonal wedding:
If you live in a warmer climate, an outdoor spring wedding is the ideal showcase for fresh flowers and
greenery in bloom all around. Plan an outdoor garden wedding, with white linens and spring-themed
decor. Spring weather can still be unpredictable, so if you live in a rainy climate you should consider
holding your wedding indoors in case of rain. You can still decorate a hall or church with gorgeous
spring-themed decorations, and give your guests the feeling of being outdoors by using lots of flowers
and greenery.
For spring wedding food, lighter fare is best. A light wedding brunch or wedding tea with finger
sandwiches and petits fours is better than a heavy meal. If you’re serving a sit-down dinner or buffet,
chicken or fish, various salads and fruit desserts are a good choice. You can choose a simple wedding
cake with flowers or fresh fruit on top, or opt for something more elaborate with sugar butterflies as a
cake topping, or pastel ribbons tied around the cake base.
For wedding colors, focus on lighter shades like a combination of soft pink and green, or violet and
yellow. Decorate the wedding venue with white or pale colored chair covers, tulle and linens. You can
use many different flowers, or choose a few types to make wedding centerpieces. White lilies and
roses, and all shades of orchids, tulips or even daffodils will create a cheerful feeling for your wedding
celebration.
You can also choose one theme to build your wedding around. Some ideas for spring wedding themes
are butterflies, flowers or dragonflies. You can find everything from butterfly or dragonfly themed
wedding invitations, to bridal hair accessories, to candles and table top decorations. Flowers are a great
theme because not only can you find them at their best during the spring season, but there are many
floral-printed linens and favors that will add the perfect touch to any wedding. If you have place cards
at your guests’ tables, get them in butterfly or dragonfly shapes. There are even companies that will
ship live butterflies that your guests can release after the ceremony!
Give your guests spring favors like pastel-colored candies in white boxes tied with colored ribbons, or
find unique favors like personalized seed packets so that they can plant their own flowers at home.
Drink mixes for iced tea or lemonade can be printed with the names of the couple, and make a nice gift
for wedding guests.
Evoke the beauty and freshness of the season with a spring wedding. The natural beauty of the season
provides a wonderful backdrop for an outdoor wedding, wedding decor and memorable photos.
