Flowers blooming, birds chirping, weather warming- spring is the perfect season to have a gorgeous wedding. By using the beautiful surroundings, inspiring colors, and even the unpredictable weather to your advantage, you can plan the most amazing spring wedding for you, your partner, and your guests. There are endless possibilities to make your spring wedding unforgettable.
Embrace the weather and the season by incorporating them into your wedding décor and fashion. As the old saying goes, “April showers bring May flowers,” and your wedding can reflect that. Add a playful touch to your bridal party’s outfits by giving them brightly colored rain boots to wear under their dresses. This makes for a great photo op to break up the traditional pictures being taken. Using lighted, upside down umbrellas to decorate your reception hall will give the rainy weather an elegant touch.
When talking about seasonal decorations, it doesn’t have to be limited to the weather. Baseball season begins at the start of spring. Add a touch of nostalgia to your wedding with America’s favorite pastime. Print your invitations on a ticket or use different ballparks as your table names. There are all sorts of adorable, baseball themed cake toppers for the serious fans and personalized drink “koozies” make for great, useful favors.
With Spring comes a beautiful new color palette to incorporate into your wedding. Consider vibrant bridesmaids dresses for your bridal party. Cobalt blue, bright pink, and sunny yellow add a brilliant pop of color to your wedding photos. A printed dress, such as a floral pattern, is the perfect homage to the blooming season around you. The warming weather also allows for the groom and his groomsmen to wear lighter hues and fabrics, instead of traditional black tuxedos. Tan, brown, and grey are great alternatives for the men in the bridal party. Seesucker, a lightweight fabric with a pinstripe pattern, is just right for a nautical themed wedding.
Your cocktail hour and desserts are the perfect places to integrate seasonal foods to accent your Spring wedding. Miniature BLTs or lettuce wraps are a delicious, light appetizer that your guests will love. A fruit and cheese buffet can accentuate the delectable flavors of the Spring. Serving individual sized fruit pies at dessert, or even as favors, are a playful (and tasty) ending to your special celebration.
