Location

Spring is a perfect time to plan a wedding outdoors. It’s not too cold, neither too warm. Moreover, you can benefit from locations like large gardens or seaside, as you don’t have to spend a lot of money on decorations. You can take advantage of the natural beauty to stage your wedding.

Color palette

While, pastels are the classic palette for a spring wedding, you can also opt for a brighter green that represents new growth or team up your pastels with earth tones like shades of brown. For a more elegant look, pair up celadon green with white, and use silver as an accent color. Whatever you choose, make sure to seek inspiration from nature to live up to your spring theme.

Spring is the time when flowers are in bloom, so use them in abundance. Roses, hyacinth, tulips, and Gerber daisies are popular during the spring season. Alternatively, a dozen of multi-colored calla lilies combined with maiden hair or lemon leaf would make a beautiful spring arrangement.

For centerpieces, use polished buckets, mason jars or crystal vases to carry flowers. An inexpensive centerpiece for an outdoor spring wedding is a terracotta pot with spring moss. Tie a matching ribbon around the pot to complete the look.

Wedding tips: Choosing the Right Favors

Details often overlooked, favors are a great way to share love and joy with your guests. For a spring wedding, there is nothing more appropriate than botanical theme favors. Mini flowerpots or a packet of seeds would serve the purpose. Alternatively, you can consider a birdhouse or a natural bird nest with candies.

Just like the Earth begins to renew itself during spring, you can make use of these tips to make a fresh start in your life.
