Spring is the traditional time for weddings, and it’s really no surprise. After all, the earth wakes up, plants begin to bloom, and everything comes to life. We associate this time of year with new life and new beginnings, so it’s the perfect time to have your wedding. Just make sure that you plan well in advance, since spring weddings are extremely popular. Let’s take a look at some of the best decorations for a wedding in the spring time.
Outdoor weddings are very popular in the spring, though it’s an extremely good idea to have shelter on site, or an alternate site chosen in case of unpredictable spring showers! Garden and gazebo weddings with beautiful flowers are a good choice. People who choose this kind of wedding tend to use pastel colors and a clean look featuring floral elements. A single favor vase with one blossom at each place setting can be used to echo the design of the bride’s bouquet, and will brighten someone’s home after the reception, too.
Any natural or natural looking item will help at a spring wedding ceremony and reception. Seed favors are a popular choice, since they’re biodegradable, and can be planted by the guests. They’ll keep reminding them of your wedding as their spring flowers grow. There are also lots of excellent edible favors, including candied flowers and nuts in spring colors.
When it comes to place card holders, dragonflies, butterflies, and birds are a lively choice that goes well with the theme. Butterfly guest favors and decorations are very popular for spring weddings, since they symbolize transformation into something more beautiful. Sweet treats in the shape of butterflies are a lot of fun as favors, especially at the bridal shower. Tulips and daisies are also common motifs for couples getting married in the spring.
Just remember to keep things simple and avoid mixing too many different motifs. One or two is enough to get the idea across, and more motifs and colors can start to seem extremely cluttered. So, stick to your favorites, for a look that’s delicate, classy, and a beautiful celebration of this special time of year.
When it comes to centerpieces, floating candles and flowers are probably the most common. They’re easy to put together, but the final effect is very impressive. Silk flowers can float in clear or colored water, and flating candles in the shape of roses, daisies, butterflies, and all kinds of other motifs can be added. They provide an elegant look that ties in very well with the theme.
Be sure to choose clear glass bowls to show off the light of the candles and the clarity of the water. You may also wish to place votives in flower pots on your tables. They provide light and go with the traditional floral theme. Real or imitation flower petals can be scattered on the tables to complete the look.
Spring weddings can be truly magical, if you only know how to decorate. Make sure that your spring wedding is a beautiful one that celebrates all the wonderful things about this season. It’s a time of new life, new beginnings and transformations. As you enter your next phase of life with your partner, a spring wedding makes a fantastic symbol. Pay attention to what’s important to you about this season, and decorate your reception appropriately. You’ll be amazed at how beautiful it can be.
