Planning a Spring Wedding: Ways to Tie the Knot with the Season

Whether your idea of a perfect spring wedding involves a casual family gathering at your backyard or a grand wedding at an elegant local country club, it is vital that you start planning for it as soon as possible. The best thing that you can probably do is to hire a personal wedding planner or maybe get a New York wedding florist to help you make that dream wedding come to life.

Things you need to consider:
The Prom Factor. May and June are probably the prime months for JS Proms. Make sure you find a venue and secure your transportation as early as possible.
Daylight Savings Time. Check the date for DST when planning a sunset outdoor ceremony and reception.
Weather. The weather during spring time can be highly unpredictable. A sunny and warm Friday can bring about a rainy and cold Saturday. Make sure you prepare for both extremes.

Wedding Invitations
For invitations and stationery, add a little spring motif like a butterfly or tulip to go with the season. You can use paper or inks that match spring time colors such as greens, pastels and etc. Be creative, fun and whimsical. Use flirty fonts for a festive spring celebration. You can also add sprinkles of silk flowers inside each envelope.

Wedding Venue
Take advantage of the budding leaves and beautiful flowers in botanical gardens, mansions with lush green grounds and courtyards. If an outdoor isnt possible, you can select an indoor venue with a breathtaking outside views affording a bright airy ambience and lots of sunshine.

Decorations
When choosing a color palette, you can go for white and greens for a garden setting. Yellow and green can also be a fresh choice. If you want to look preppy, you can choose hot pink combined with green or mango. Be creative with your patterns. You can do Swiss dots & stripes, eyelet lace or even polka dots.

Wedding Flower Arrangements
Seasonal blooms would include calla lilies, daffodils, magnolias, gardenias, hydrangeas, tulips and cherry blossoms. Choose among the wedding flower arrangements available online. Place arrangements in containers like watering cans, wicker baskets, teapots and urns.

Menu
Serve ham or lamb for the main dish coupled with fresh natural fruit and vegetable produce. A spring menu probably calls for champagne. Create a champagne cocktail or a batch of mimosas for a wedding in the morning.

Transportation
A horse drawn carriage makes a perfect fitting finale for a spring wedding.
