Looking for spring wedding theme ideas? Matrimony marks the start of a new, yet a more passionate love relationship between couples. This sacred ceremony brings them together as one, like a creature born anew. The days that they were living only for themselves are gone. They will now spend the rest of their years in union each other, bonded by love and affection.
However, because of the importance of marriage, couples find it hard to choose when and how they will make the day of their wedding a memorable one. For those who value the meaning of the ceremony, then a spring wedding theme would surely suit you. Spring, after all, is the season of rebirth and renewal.
Spring is synonymous to life. With the long, freezing winter climate gone, the world starts wake up from a deep slumber. The once large heaps of snow end up being thawed by warmth of the new season. After months of waiting, sprouts emerge from the earth and open their leaves to welcome the sunlight. Buds pop up after being hidden from the cold, and then proceeds to color the once white, barren landscape. And animals rise from their rest, leaving their hiding places to stand in awe while the fields show signs of life again.
Weddings patterned after spring should also have the same freshness the season has. Thus, flowers are an important concern. The women and girls can wear wreaths or carry large bouquets of blooming wonders like cherry blossoms, daffodils, irises, lilacs, hyacinth and tulips. Because the spring sets off a calm yet invigorating mood, good colors for a spring wedding are light, creamy hues like light blue, pink, lavender, yellow, ivory and pastel green. The colors are perfect as they come between the whiteness of winter and the striking palette of summer.
Although it’s not required, it’s highly advised to choose an outdoor wedding venue. This will allow guests to have a clear view of nature while enjoying spring’s fresh air. Decorating the place with butterflies, whether real or synthetic, enhances the atmosphere already brought by the flowers. One or two maypoles can be placed, allowing the children to play while also providing additional effect on the location. You can also put floating candles on the patios and tables, accompanied by sweet music from harps and flutes to give that final touch.
For the wedding dresses, use also pastel colors. The fabric for the gowns should be light enough to be cool but can still resist the cold. With that said be sure to have some wraps for the bride and the bridesmaids in case it gets a little chilly. You can provide fashionable umbrellas of the same colors just to be safe against rains brought by the change of season, especially in April.
As for the menu, fresh fruits are a prime choice. Young vegetables and fruits like baby carrots, baby asparagus, haricots verts (small beans), sugar snap peas, and new potatoes, would also suit the spring wedding theme. Shortcakes and tarts topped with luscious strawberries would surely be both attractive and tasty. Chocolate cakes would also be a wonderful idea, while at the same time slightly giving off a hint of Easter.
Spring weddings need not be expensive; a little personal touch will do the trick. Don’t be shy to discuss and add in your own ideas and preferences with the wedding planner. Be creative, stay away from the norm, and enjoy planning the event. After all, it is your wedding, you only want the best day in your life to be, let’s just say, the best.
