A Sensational
|
Depending on where you live, Spring can be a tricky time when trying to predict the weather. If you have it too early in the season, you run the risk of getting a cold day or possibly even snow (yikes!).
For a Spring wedding idea, think outdoor in a tent or at a location that has colorful gardens and scenery. If you are thinking about having your ceremony or part or all of your reception outdoors, consider having a Plan B in case of rain.
Listed below are three spring wedding idea guides.
Spring Garden Wedding
- Locations for a spring wedding include scenic areas such as local parks and arboretums, gazebos and bed and breakfasts and Inns that have gardens. You can have the ceremony outdoors in the garden or park, and the reception in a tent or inside a bed and breakfast or other location.
Also, there are many historic sites that offer an excellent backdrop for a spring wedding.
- For favors, find small flower pots and plant daisies, daffodils and Hyacinth. These will add color to your reception, and they will also give your guests a nice reminder of your wedding to take home.
- If you are having an outside or tented reception, consider a flower carpet. Find Oriental rugs (remnants can be found at carpet stores and online) to lie under each table.
- Have your guests throw wild flower seeds at you as you leave the church or ceremony. Alternatively, give out paper cones filled with flower petals to throw at you.
- If you are having a late spring wedding when it may be hot, give out colorful wooden fans to your guests.
- Find colorful place cards that match your wedding colors. Look for two trees that are within a few feet of each other near the reception area, tie string between them and hang the place cards on the strings with clothes pins.
- For centerpieces, use galvanized tins filled with lemons, limes and white daisies. Another idea is to fill large hurricanes with apples and cherries.
- A signature wedding drink for a spring wedding could be Sangria, or a flavored, tropical martini. Arrange the martinis into a pyramid to greet the guests as they enter the reception.
- Fruity ice cubes are another fun idea (if you have the time). Fill ice trays with water and fruit, such as raspberries. Your guests will love your creativity, and they will enjoy their signature that much more.
Then, gather 10 bunches of assorted flowers (or however many you think you will need) and remove the stems from the petals.
Scatter the petals on the ground to create a flower carpet that your guests will want to walk barefoot on.
Spring Flower Themes
- Options for spring flower themes include Gerber Daisies, Daffodils, Dogwood, Hyacinth, Lilly of the Valley and Sweet Pea among others.
- Tie the chosen flower into all aspects of your wedding, starting with your invitations.
- For a Gerber Daisy wedding, have your bridesmaids carry bouquets with multi-colored Gerber Daisies.
- Scatter petals of your chosen flower down the aisle.
- Centerpiece ideas include having fishbowls filled with water containing Daisies without stems floating in them.
If you are having long family-style tables at the reception you can have small fish bowls down the center of the tables. Tie ribbon around each one and connect each fish bowl with the ribbon.
