Every bride has dreamed of the perfect wedding since childhood. No matter what time of year it is, there seems to be romance floating in the air. A wedding can be the best time for the couple to express their personalities and decorative tastes. There are many different themes a couple can choose from – from hobbies to colors to the traditional or classic wedding themes. For some couples, the different seasons in the year can be inspiring or meaningful to their relationship. One of the most popular seasons for a wedding is spring.
Spring gives plenty of opportunity for the couple to be creative and be inspired by their surroundings. Here are some ideas you can incorporate so you can have an inspiring wedding that reflects the freshness of spring from start to finish.
The venue of a spring wedding should ideally be a garden reception venue. The garden will be able to show the fresh blooms and there will be no need to further decorate the area. With the good weather, grab this opportunity to bring your guests outside. However, if you have a hall as a venue, you can still make it spring-like and bring the outdoors inside by decorating the place with leaves and lots of fresh flowers. What is important in your venue is the presence of flowers, whether you are having it indoors or outdoors.
Give out spring wedding favors on your reception. This can be simple and small items that are reflective of anything spring. Small flower pots or small pails placed with a small bottle of lotion inside can be great favors. Seed packets are also popular spring wedding favors and you can place them in small pouches or boxes.
The wedding favor, invitation, other stationery, dresses and other items should be coordinated with your wedding color. Your choice of wedding color should be spring colors such as yellow, green, peach, pink or other light and pastel colors.
The menu should be fresh and refreshing as well. Fresh fruits and a salad bar are a must and main courses can be tomato-based dishes. Preparing a spring wedding can be fun because of the inspiration you can get from your surroundings. The vibrant colors and feel of spring can truly affect the atmosphere of your wedding in a positive way. A spring wedding can be lively, beautiful, and it can be personalized to almost anything and everything you wish.

What To Plant This Spring
Spring can be the best time to fill your calendar with spring break parties, plant crops in your garden, or plan a spring garden wedding complete with spring-inspired invitations and spring wedding favors. With everything around you looking refreshed and alive, spring is the best time to rejuvenate your garden as well.
Take advantage of the sun and the great weather to produce good harvest from your garden. While spring is generally good weather for growing almost any plant, there are some plants and flowers that are best grown specifically during spring.
Your garden will look and smell beautiful this spring with orchids, dahlias and cherry blossoms. The bright colors of these flowers will truly bring life to your garden. Roses, peonies and tulips also grow at their best during spring. The sun and the air will really bring the freshest and the brightest of roses and tulips. They stay fresh indoors as long as you put them in watered vases and live longer than they normally would during other seasons.
Arm yourself with recipes using eggplants and herbs like basil and rosemary as you can grow them bountifully in your garden or in small pots placed in your kitchen. You can harvest them and make Italian recipes as fresh and as authentic as they can be. These rich smelling herbs can truly compliment any dish and what’s best is you can grow a lot of them during spring. You can dry or store these herbs for months if you want to use them in the future. For eggplants, use them as soon as possible to get the most nutrients from them.
Planting during spring can be a great bonding activity as well for the family. Kids and adults can learn to appreciate home-grown vegetables and flowers and get to spend quality time with each other as well. You can make this coming spring as extraordinary and as special as it can be with activities that can help you save and create lasting memories while maximizing the gifts that this season has to offer. Spring can be that time of the year that you look forward to not just because of the parties but for activities at home. Growing these plants will only take a few minutes of your time. You need not worry about spending a lot of time in maintaining them since the spring season is the best time for plants to grow anyway.

Spring Wedding Themes and Ideas
Springtime is the part of the year when nature seems to be at its best. Animals are all around and flowers are in bloom during spring. For some couples, spring represents freshness and the start of life all over again. For this reason, weddings can truly fit this season of life. If you will be having a spring wedding, here are some ideas and themes that can help you create that perfect event.
A garden or an outside wedding would be best for spring. The fresh blooms in the garden and the wonderful rays of sunshine can truly refresh and lift the spirits of the couple and the guests and add to the lovely ambience. You also do not have to decorate much and spend a lot on décor because gardens are already beautiful. To dress it up, just add ribbons or bows in some areas of your garden venue.
Choose colors that are very popular during spring. Pastel colors, particularly shades of yellow are great because not only do they complement the weather, the color really stands out as it is placed in a lush green surrounding. Stay away from dark colors or have them at a minimum and just ensure that they will simply highlight or accent spring colors. While white is also a great spring wedding choice, you can play around with it and combine it with other colors for fun and variety.
The invitation should also have prints of flowers or spring scenery to let your guests know that you are having a spring wedding theme. Have the invitation printed on soft-colored papered as well.
The menu should ideally be also reflective of the freshness of spring. Vegetables like baby asparagus and choice fresh fruits should be available because aside from completing the menu, these fruits and vegetables are at its best quality, freshness and taste during spring.
And of course, for your wedding favors, you can choose garden-inspired wedding favors to giveaway. There are small decorative pots available and you can even get discounts of course when you buy in bulk. Butterfly favors such as bookmarks or paperweights in butterfly shape are good choices too. A small pail with goodies inside can make for a fun favor.
A spring wedding should be about renewal, freshness and softness. Just ensure that colors and images or drawings are all in-sync with spring so the whole wedding can look coordinated.

Spring Wedding Color Ideas
The seasons of spring and summer are considered to be the best seasons for an outdoor wedding. Without having to worry about the wind’s chill or snow, spring and summer casts the sun’s vibrant life and energy to any occasion, especially weddings. When choosing colors for your wedding, your preference will be the final deciding factor. However, if you want to go for the popular and fool-proof colors that will truly make the vibrant season blend with your romantic celebration, here are some spring wedding color suggestions that you can use.

Yellow is one of the bright colors that may not be great with a winter wedding, but is a fool-proof color for spring. Light blue is another popular spring wedding color as the sky is cast in this color during spring. The sky’s horizon casts a light blue shade and adopting this color for a spring wedding will guarantee a coordinated look. As with the fresh green leaves you can find during spring, green, both in dark green or light green shades is another great pick for your wedding color. Symbolizing a new life for the newlyweds, this color will indeed represent the new chapter in your life that you can look forward to.
Other wedding colors that you can choose should be of pastel or bright colors. Pastel hues are great because the soft, gentle colors will blend with the colors of spring especially for great photographs when having an outdoor wedding. Bright colors are best if you are having an indoor wedding and would want your reception venue to be as bright as the sun outside.
Your choice of wedding color will be used from the invitation, to the centerpieces, to the wedding favors. Make sure that your color will reflect not just your personality, but will look good on photo, at your venue, and complements your overall theme. Your wedding color is a major aspect of your wedding and what you choose will definitely affect the not just you but the guests as well.
