Spring weddings are absolutely beautiful. Think soft pastels, blooming buds outside and breezy weather that hits the spot after being stuck inside for winter. Spring is great for outdoor weddings, a variety of flowers are in season and the outdoors will offer natural inspiration for your wedding. However, there are some issues when planning your spring wedding that can arrise. Whether the issue comes from April showers or the unpredictable weather during this time, Wedding And Party Network is here to offer you a few tips and ideas when planning for your spring wedding.
Wedding Dilemmas
April Showers: Yes, spring can offered be referred to the rainiest season we have. With it brings the May flowers though, right? Since we all know that spring can bring unexpected showers more often, make plans to avoid this wedding day issue. If you’re having an indoor wedding, you won’t have to worry, except maybe having a few umbrellas on hand for the guests and your bridal party. However, if you’re set on an outdoor wedding, be ready with a beautiful white tent. Find a good wedding rental company that can suggest tents that would be ideal if it rained.
Another problem solver would be to consider valet for your guests. If you’re not looking into finding a company to offer this service, gather up some friends or family members. The guests won’t have to ruin their formal wear and it would be truly thoughtful of you. However, if you’re not into this, you can always set up a canopy at the entryway for guests to be dropped off at, like the women.
Pesky Bugs: Another issue that can occur during this time is dealing with those pesky bugs. Insects can be a problem during this time of year in different parts of the country. Provide bug repellent, have the area sprayed beforehand and use citronella candles as part of your decorations to solve this wedding day issue.
Changes In The Weather: The weather tends to be pretty unpredictable during this time of year. You may have to deal with heat during the day, while at night it tends to cool off. Maybe you can offer cute parasols during the day, if you’re having a daytime wedding as part as your wedding favor. If your wedding is at night, provide cute shawls as your wedding favors. You can even be ready by pulling out some heaters, if you are having a wedding reception in the evening.
Wedding Ideas
Be Weather Appropriate: Remember with this unpredictable weather, you may have a hot day and a chilly evening. So, keep that in mind when finding your wedding dress. Most wedding dresses give a bit more coverage and material at the bottom, while the top style of wedding dresses are more strapless, sleeveless or off the shoulders. So, the solution for this is to find a cute shawl or wrap.
Keep this in mind when picking out bridesmaid dresses as well. A cute pashmina would be cute as part of their bridesmaid gift.
Wedding Menu: Keep your menu light and refreshing. You should most definitely celebrate spring throughout your menu. Think fresh vegetables and delicious fruits that are in season during this time of year. Serving seasonal fruits and vegetables will be a big hit at your wedding! Go with fresh squeeze lemonade or iced tea for your beverages to go with the weather.
Pastels: When you think of spring, you think of light and airy colors. Gorgeous pink and greens would be beautiful as your wedding colors. Or think ivory, creams or light pinks. Light blues, greens and yellows sound so amazing! A gorgeous rustic-chic wedding featuring creams and light pinks would be perfect for this time of the year.
Pretty Florals: Incorporating beautiful spring floral arrangements into your wedding is an absolute must. They should play the main role in your wedding decorations. Have a gorgeous floral arch, wreath or some that hang from trees that add to your decorations. Even bring spring indoors with mini arrangements or bud vases so your guests will get the same feeling inside as they do outside.
Spring Wedding Favors: When you think of spring, you think of luscious flowers blooming in the air. Since you will play up flowers so much at your wedding, send some home with your guests, as well. Send flower seeds home with your guests as a cute little wedding favor. They’ll be able to plant these in a vase or in their garden and be reminded of your wedding each time they look at them.
