Springtime Wedding

April Showers bring May flowers. Spring is all about rain! And anyone planning a Spring Wedding should be prepared for that.
Spring Wedding

The Flowers:
Beautiful flowers for a Spring Wedding would be tulips. They come in a wide range of colours and they can match any theme. Tulips are spring flowers and you can only get them for a limited time.

Bouquets
The Bride:
With springtime being known for its bad weather, a long dress may not always be the best option. A shorter dress would be a perfect choice, not too short but just short enough that it doesn't touch the ground. Also if the couple chooses to use the rain as part of their theme a great option for shoes would be rain boots.

The Invitations:
When thinking of Spring, the colours that come to mind usually match those of Easter. Purples, light blues, pinks, yellows. That's a great colour theme to use for the invitations to a Springtime Wedding. The Orange and Purple Wedding Invitations below are a great option, they are double sided and they are part of a set that includes Save the Date Cards and Thank You Cards




The Rings:
As always, rings don't have to match any theme or colour scheme, they are simply symbols of love and are usually limited in what styles and colours they come in. However some colours can be matched like in this Pink Sapphire and White Diamond Woman's Wedding ring. The bride and groom's rings don't have to match, most couples choose to match the colour of their rings, if the bride gets white gold the groom gets white gold, but just because the bride has pink sapphires doesn't mean the groom's ring has to.



The Reception:
For a Springtime reception and indoor venue is probably best because of the lack of certainty in the weather. For any reception the main items needed are a Guest book, and a Card box, however depending on the bride and groom and what they want there may be other things needed to make their reception special. Some couples choose to have different forms of entertainment like dancers during dinner or performers throughout the night. There can also be special features to a wedding like a fondue fountain or candy bar, things like that.

 The Food:



A nice way to start a spring meal would be with a Lemon-Basil Shrimp Salad, it is light and won't make the pasta seem too heavy or too much as a main course.
A nice refreshing main course would be a Springtime Pasta. It's simple to make and it doesn't take a long time so any catering company should be more than happy to make it for any wedding. Spring is a hard time to make food for because some vegetables aren't in season and it's very easy to make a meal heavy without the freshness factor. This pasta is also a great option because it can be keep the same and served as a vegetarian dish or chicken can be added and it would work just as well.


A nice way to finish this meal would be to serve a Lemon Tartlet with Meringue Caps. It is refreshing, and a great way to clean the pallet from the meal.

The Cake:
A perfect option for a springtime cake would be a Chiffon Cake with Strawberries and Cream. It is a great way to celebrate the season and uses fresh spring fruit and other fresh flavors to highlight the season. This Chiffon Cake is similar in texture to an angel food cake but richer and much airier. With the theme being Spring and the rainy weather playing a part in that theme, a nice wedding cake topper would be a couple kissing under an umbrella.

Guest Favours:
For a Springtime Wedding, a perfect option would be to give Personalized Favor Cards as guest favours. This favour is organic and eco-friendly wild flower seeds. The guests can plant them and watch them grow. It's a beautiful gift and it is something the guests will remember and enjoy for a long time. 


Love Blossoms

Centerpieces:
A beautiful centerpiece for any wedding would be Mini Blown Glass Heart Vases. They are perfect for a wedding and the clings can be changed to match any colour. Filled with tulips or any other flowers of the season or that match the colours would be the best choice for this wedding, but white works well for anything. With a few Elegant Frosted Lavender Candle around the table, these centerpieces would be a perfect match for the Springtime Wedding.


Thank You Cards:
Thank You Cards don't always have to match the theme of the wedding, some couples choose to send a card with a picture of themselves, or from their wedding day. It all depends on the couple, some chose to send a picture in the card. Either way a couple can never go wrong with a beautiful card, so if it matches the theme or colour scheme doesn't really matter in the end.
