A spring wedding: things to consider

Spring is one of the most eagerly awaited seasons: flowers begin to bloom, the trees turn green and the days grow longer. It is an ideal season for a wedding, as it offers a unique, joyful atmosphere for a wonderful ceremony surrounded by nature.

Seasonal flowers are key to decorating everything from the reception to the ceremony, bringing colour and plenty of natural light.

What should you bear in mind when planning a spring wedding?

1. Theme:

Choosing a spring theme will help reflect what the season means to you both. It can run through the décor, the food and the guest favours, using a colour palette such as white, cream, forget-me-not blue, cornsilk yellow and soft greens. Pinks and lavenders, derived from sensual reds and purples, take the lead.

2. Attire: Spring is a warm season, so light colours and lightweight fabrics are best for staying comfortable and relaxed on your big day.

3. Flora and fauna are a key part of the décor, reflecting the beauty of spring with flowers and natural elements. You can use flowers, branches, fruit and herbs to decorate your wedding.

4. Food: Fresh, Mediterranean food will give your guests a special touch. Dishes with spring fruit and vegetables are a good way to create a more natural table.

5. Favours: Think of favours for your guests that reflect spring. Some of the most popular choices among couples are potted plants, seeds to sow and spring-scented candles.

6. Activities: Plan activities so your guests can have fun together, such as a photo safari or a wine tasting.
