Whether it's the spirit of love in the air, the just-warm-enough weather or the readily availableflowers, there's something about spring that makes it the perfect time for a wedding. As winter brides celebrate the final nuptials of 2015, spring brides look forward to their special days. Of course, spring isn't just the season of new growth. It's also the season of new dress, flower and wedding decoration ideas. If you're in dire need of spring wedding inspiration, we've got you covered with five great wedding ideas.
1. Favor the Romantic
If beautiful flowers are your top priority, there's really no better time to plan a wedding than spring. Garden roses, lilacs, hydrangeas and local wildflowers are popular choices. Of course, you can carry romantic touches into other areas of the wedding as well. Sparkling candles, chandeliers or decorative lights can instantly soften any space while adding a romantic glow. For bridal styling, think classic dress lines and muted makeup with glamorous hair.
2. Choose Simple, Elegant Bouquets
The days of over-the-top bridal bouquets that dominate photos are over. Instead, brides this spring are opting for simpler designs. Long, elegant bouquets that complement a bride's dress and figure are particularly popular. For bridesmaids, spare bouquets that make a bold statement are in. After all, something as simple as a single protea bloom can instantly elevate any wedding.
3. Incorporate Texture on Reception Tables
Spring wedding centerpieces are set to combine traditional and organic elements. After all, there's no better way to add texture to a reception than to incorporate different fabrics, fibers and greenery into centerpieces. Combine silk linen with wispy feathers and rhinestones for a romantic-and-elegant look, or pair raw denim with off-white lace for an upscale country look. Of course, you shouldn't be afraid to think outside the box when it comes to texture combinations either.
4. Go With Watercolors
When it comes to spring wedding colors for 2016, we're seeing a load of watercolor tones that are just a shade more vibrant than their pastel cousins from last season. Blue is set to be the most popular color of all with aquas and washed-out denim shades reigning. Incorporate these as accent colors against a white or cream background. For bridesmaid dresses, consider a palette of related colors. It's perfectly fine to opt for an array of violets or to choose dresses in a toned-down rainbow scheme.
5. Choose a Focused Setting to Say I Do
No doubt every bride spends hours thinking about the perfect venue for her nuptials. As you do so this spring, consider a traditional garden or whimsical outdoor setting. If you need to pull off an outdoor feel at an indoor wedding, drape greenery over a basic arch and along seating areas. Remember that there's nothing quite like saying I do and kissing under an elegant archway or at a garden gate.
However you incorporate the trends of 2016 into your spring wedding, flowers are likely to play a central role. At Chez Bloom, we love creating gorgeous wedding bouquets and centerpieces. Get in touch with us today to schedule a consultation to discuss your wedding floral needs.
