Spring signifies the beginning of new life and it is the perfect time for exchanging vows and to have a dream wedding. You can have your spring wedding in an outdoor location decorated with fresh seasonal flowers and you looking gorgeous in a traditional wedding gown. For planning a spring wedding there are certain things that you need to keep in mind to make the wedding a great success. Here are some tips to help you plan out a spring wedding:

Decorations & flowers

Using seasonal flowers and pastel colors would give your wedding a feeling of spring time. Decorating the tables with snowflakes is not ideal for a spring wedding. Instead choose petals to adorn tables. For centerpieces, you can use baskets containing spring flowers in soft pastel shades. You can decorate the place with beautiful tulips, roses, lilies, ranunculus, Gerber daisies, hyacinth and daffodils. A bouquet of cream tulips and red roses looks very classic.

Menu

For a spring wedding, a menu which comprises of fresh vegetables such as baby carrots, asparagus, peas, and haricots verts would be great. And don't forget to include spring fruits such as strawberries, watermelon and apricots. As far as wedding cake is concerned, get the cake decorated with edible spring flowers. In fact you can even opt for something different instead of a regular cake. A carrot cake with a cream cheese icing would be delicious.

Spring Wedding Dresses

An A-line dress with floral embellishments on the bodice or waistline would be ideal for a spring wedding. But don't choose anything heavy or long-sleeved wedding dresses unless you want to sweat your way down the aisle. You can also go for long floating skirts or gothic gowns. Tea-length gowns are another popular style of wedding dress for brides looking for something trendy to wear. You can find all these styles of wedding dresses quite easily at online bridal shops and that too at much affordable prices.

Adding a bit of color to your wedding dress would be a great idea. Add a touch of pink or blue color or include a bit of colorful embroidery in your wedding dress. As far as fabrics are concerned, light and airy fabrics are ideal such as chiffon, organza or charmeuse.

During the spring season, temperature can drop down to 50 degrees in the evening. Hence carry a sophisticated cashmere cardigan or an organza neck scarf with you.

Headpiece

A delicate floral headpiece would be perfect for a spring wedding. But make sure that the floral headpiece matches with your wedding dress completely. If you have a touch of pink shade or pink color embroidery on your wedding dress, then wearing a blue color floral headpiece would look odd. Hence it is advisable that you first make purchase of your affordable yet elegant wedding dress from a bridal store or online bridal shops and then proceed to buy matching accessories.

Best wedding favors for spring wedding

Seed packets are a popular favor for a spring wedding. You can also present wedding guests with a colorful butterfly cookie or birds nests. Spring is the time of Easter. So you can give your guests a ceramic Easter egg or a chocolate Easter bunny.

Spring is a great time to exchange vows with your beloved. And don't get disheartened if it starts raining. It would only make the atmosphere even more romantic.
