Planning a Perfect Spring Wedding

With all the flowers in bloom, the birds chirping in the blossoming trees, and the weather warming up to a pleasant temperature, spring is the perfect season for a wedding. Many brides choose this season for its symbolic meaning. It is a time of renewal and rebirth, the start of new life in the cycle that has continued for ages. It represents a new start and fresh perspective on life. Your wedding day is all of these things and would be perfectly timed during the spring months.

Benefits of a spring wedding

There are several reasons other than the symbolism why you might want to choose a spring wedding. The weather is certainly one. The winter chill is leaving and the sun stays out a bit longer. If you live in place where spring means lots of rain, do not give up on the idea of having your wedding at this time of year. In many traditions, rain on your wedding day is considered good luck. You can plan to have the ceremony indoors and have two alternate venues, one outside and one inside, for the reception in case of inclement weather.

Another benefit of a spring wedding is the availability of locales. Most brides choose June, May, and September for their wedding dates. The springtime will afford you more choices when it comes to location, caterer, and entertainment. These service providers will be less busy now and can better handle your request. Plus, without another three weddings to service in the same day, you may get more personal attention.

You cannot think of a spring wedding without thinking of the flowers. The plants that are in bloom during this season are perfect for a wedding celebration. Many bulbs are blooming now, including hyacinth, daffodil, and iris. All three of these beauties are perfect held as simple bouquets or mixed with other flowers in a dramatic arrangement. The choice of flowers during the spring is very wide, so check with your local florist to see what is fresh.

The locations available for a wedding in the spring can be beautiful. Public gardens are a popular choice. The flowers will all be in bloom, and this may save you on your own flower budget as you will not need to decorate as much of the venue. Also consider that an outdoor venue can accommodate a larger number of people and can afford a built in source of entertainment for your guests, who can wander the fragrant grounds and have their own romantic day.
