Weddings are some of the most special days in many people’s lives; an opportunity to celebrate love with close friends and family as you marry the person of your dreams. Making this day great, however, comes down to careful planning and bold ideas to make your wedding stand out.
Once the question has been popped, it’s time to start preparations. Setting a date for the spring is a popular choice, as it represents new beginnings, but that’s far from the only piece of planning that you’ll need to do – and, of course, every wedding comes with a cost, so you’ll want to plan out your dream springtime wedding without worrying about your finances.
According to the most recent data from 2018, there are around 270,000 weddings per year in the UK. Make yours the year’s most memorable with these ideas for a beautiful spring ceremony.
Tent reception
Outdoor weddings have become more popular than ever due to the pandemic. With the need for fresh air and social distancing, it just makes sense. However, with these weddings taking place outside, you’ll need to make sure that you’re protected from the unpredictable UK weather.
We recommend going with a sturdy tent that won’t be fazed by wind or rain – and can then be beautifully decorated to set the scene. This is where that all-important “I do” is said, so ensure that it’s perfect with the right tent.
Use of flowers
Nothing says romance like flowers and spring is the ideal time for them. Make your wedding perfect with incredible flower displays to celebrate your big day. Choose flowers that have a special meaning behind them and shower the venue in them. They could be placed in the bride’s hair, groomsmen’s boutonnieres or used as décor for the wedding.
Pastels and lighter colours
Springtime means that pastels and lighter colours come to the fore. Use beautiful spring colours for suits, dresses and decorations around the wedding. This will make your wedding stand out from more generic black-tie events.
Butterflies, doves and other animals
Spring celebrates the beginning of new life for many animals, much like the new life into which you’ll be entering together. Consider leaning into this at your wedding with an animal theme. Incorporate decorations like butterfly patterned placemats or have live doves released when you tie the knot.
Fresh beverages
What’s a wedding without drinks? Whether it’s fresh juice for children or cocktails for adults, fruit can add a vibrant feel to any wedding. Use transparent cups that display the colourful mixture of blended fruit and you’ll help your guests to look good and feel great.
Whatever ideas you use for your big day, it will be magical as you bring friends and family together. Celebrate with your loved ones in style and start off married life in the best way possible with these spring wedding ideas.
