The birds are chirping, trees are budding, and flowers are popping up all over.
Spring is in the air! What better time of year to have a wedding than in the spring with all it's new life and new beginnings.
Spring is very symbolic of starting your new life in wedded bliss.
If you are romantic and sweet you couldn't have picked a better time to get married.
Let's look at a few things that will help you pull together you spring wedding.
We will start with your choice of colors.
It is important to pick colors that are relevant to the season.
When you think of spring generally you think of two types of colors: bright vibrant colors and pretty pastels.
If you are more of the carefree type I would suggest choosing bright vibrant colors such as lime green, hot pink, sunshine yellow, sky blue, and orange.
If however, you are more the sweet and girly type, you will often be drawn to the beautiful array of pastels.
At all costs when getting married in the spring, you want to avoid heavy, dark colors; they will only be a downer to what should be a cheery spring wedding.
When picking the decorations for the wedding ceremony and reception you should once again think about the season and what comes to mind.
Flowers are a given, LOTS of flowers in fact, nothing will scream spring wedding more so than flowers.
Decorating with birds is another great tie in with the season.
They are pretty, small, and can be added to centerpieces.
If you like to garden, or just like that garden tea party charm, add in some garden pots and wicker baskets; these will add a lot of whimsy and charm to your wedding.
Have all of your guests take home a spring wedding favor.
In keeping with your theme, pick a favor that is a fond reminder of your wedding day.
There are tons of really cute garden wedding favors for the bride that chooses to add this touch to her reception.
One of my most favorite favors is the organic paper heart (comes in other shapes too) that is embedded with flower seeds.
Your guests take it home, plant it, and will love the flowers that come from it! You can place the heart in a pretty pot, with printed directions, and tie a big ribbon around it.
All of your guests will be gushing over this memorable favor.
When planning your menu you will want to keep it on the lighter side.
Anything to heavy will cause the bright and airy atmosphere to drop into a sleepy lull.
For those going with a full meal, choose chicken and fish, with seasonal veggies.
Cheeses and wines are a great addition as well.
If you want to be a bit different you could have a wine tasting during your reception, it is probably something most of your guests have always wanted to do, but never had the chance to try.
No matter what your perfect spring wedding picture is, I hope these pointers will come in handy when planning your wedding.
Just remember, above all else, this is your day to shine; so take it all in, and enjoy every moment of it.
This will be the best day of your life!
