If you are thinking of organizing a wedding in spring, the most important word to remember is light. Simply because this is the time of year when garments are worn lightly, light food is served and generally, there is more daylight in everyone's daily lives as compared to the dark days of winter.
The bride would be relieved to know that she can choose and design a wedding gown that is made from lace or cotton as these are lighter material which are more comfortable. She is advised to keep away from silk and other heavy material that is known to be not that suitable for the season. However, if she has loved satin all her life and would like her wedding gown to be made from it, she could always select light satin material that would be easy to don.
Decorations and spring wedding favors are a joy to plan during this time as great ideas abound everywhere as nature puts forth her beautiful blooms. Yet, most couples need to realize that for a spring wedding to materialize, they have to look into the flowers right from autumn or winter. If the couple plans to plant their own flowers in perhaps their new home where they wish to host the wedding ceremony, they could engage the services of a Landscape Designer who will advise them on when to start planting and how to nurture the plants. This will definitely take the stress away from not knowing whether the flowers will bloom in time for the wedding. Alternatively, the wedding could be held in botanical gardens or courtyards that are used commercially for this purpose. In this way, the couple need not worry about making the garden look good as this will be taken care of for them.
Typical flowers for a spring wedding would include lilies, tulips, daffodils, gerbera daisies and magnolias. Any of these would be ideal for the bridal bouquet, button holes, table settings and even as garden wedding favors for the guests to take home. You could either give the favors as a potted plant or a flower seed packet. The idea behind this type of gift is for the seeds to grow and blossom just like the newlyweds love for each other. Other favors that could portray a spring flower theme would be picture frames, bookmarks and lightly scented candles that the guests can actually use. Some couples give a variety of favors and often categorize them as tokens for the ladies, men and children.
In terms of food for the wedding, spring is the right time to serve delicious salads and fruit combinations simply because fresh produce is available in abundance during this time. Also, guests at a garden wedding usually enjoy finger food as they are very often busy mingling with the crowd. Hence even your meat dishes should be simple and light; ham, salami and pate would be some suggestions that are easy to prepare and enjoy. The wedding cake could either be a chocolate or carrot cake, depending on which the couple enjoy more.
Indeed, spring is a beautiful time to go out in the open and enjoy a good wedding. The lush greenery surrounding everyone, the flowers that are in full bloom and the chirping of birds, all make for a wonderful new beginning, just like the married life of the newlyweds.
