Spring is the time when everything comes back to life, with the germination of grass, trees green and flower abloom. It's known as the transition between winter and summer and defined as a time for rebirth, renewal, and regrowth. However, Spring is not the most popular season in which to wed, it comes in third behind Summer and Fall. Actually, this is beneficial for people that are planning to get married in the Spring because there are likely to be more quality vendors available and you can get a discount on their services, but remember prom. On the flip side, some days may be unavailable due to holiday prep. You may need to book limousines and tuxedos extra early.

When planning a spring wedding, do you need any inspiration? See below for some spring wedding ideas to get you started.

Spring wedding color scheme
The first step you want to take when planning your spring wedding is choosing a color scheme. This can be one of the most difficult decisions you make as a bride. Rest assure though, because once color choice is decided, it helps everything else such as decorations, attire, and menu options fall easily into place.

Some good two-color combinations could be:
Light blue and chocolate
Light blue and ivory
Light blue and pastel green
Light blue and white
Pastel green and ivory
Pink with any green
Lavender and yellow

Some good three-color combinations might be:
Ivory, lavender, pastel green
Ivory, pink, sage
Ivory, lavender, sage
Pastel green, pink, lavender
White, chocolate, pink

Since spring colors are so soft, it's actually hard to find a combination that doesn't work well! Talk with your wedding planner or friends and family to get a second opinion if you're unsure about several colors together.

Spring wedding dresses
Once the color scheme is decided, it's time to think about your wedding dress. Wedding magazines are full of large skirts that may be too warm for the summer, and sleeveless tops that may be too cold for winter. Look for a versatile dress that can be paired with a wrap if you're chilly, yet is still light and airy.

In addition, a lot of brides are now choosing wedding dresses with some color in them, rather than the traditional all white dress. Adding a light colored sash, a hint of pink in your dress, or some colorful embroidery, will work well for a Spring wedding. Find wedding dresses in all color at UWDress.com.

Wedding party and guest attire
Today's weddings are becoming more and more colorful. Pulling from the color palette, one could come up with a unique color pattern for both the bridesmaids and the groomsmen. Guests could also come up with creative, tasteful outfits perfect for that spring wedding.

Here are some good ideas for a spring wedding outfit:
Sleeveless top
Spaghetti strap
Tea length dress
Cocktail dress
Skirt and top (rather than full length dress)
Strapless top/dress

Keep in mind that darker colors absorb the sun's heat but do a better job of reflecting rays. Likewise, lighter colors don't absorb as much heat but don't reflect UV rays as well. If it's an outdoor wedding, lighter colors are highly recommended!

Spring wedding menu ideas
Celebrate spring in your menu with fresh young vegetables such as baby carrots, baby asparagus (or regular asparagus), new potatoes, sugar snap peas, and haricots verts. Strawberries, rhubarb, and apricots are delicious at this time of year. Try phyllo dough cups with mousse or custard topped with strawberries.

Spring wedding cake
A spring wedding needs a fruit filled cake covered with crystallized fruit. Another great option idea is using cupcakes with pink cream and topped with berries.

Spring wedding decorations
Just like with wedding favors, there are a number of spring wedding decorations out there. Try purchasing decorations that are pastel blue, pink or lavendar. You could also put seasonal flowers up as centerpieces at the reception tables. Instead of having wedding guests throw rice or bird seed, you could have them release butterflies or throw rose petals.

When it comes to having a spring themed wedding, you are only limited by your imagination!

Spring wedding flowers
Choosing your wedding bouquet and flower arrangements can also be hard to decide with the many options that are available. Work closely with your florist to make sure they understand your image and how you would like your flowers to look. If sticking to one color palette or one flower type isn't your style, try a mixed variety bouquet. Pairing unlikely flower varieties and color combinations sometimes make unique and beautiful bouquets.

Spring wedding favors
Give favors of seed packets or bulbs, with thanks for supporting the growth of your love. Consider giving birdhouses – you can usually find these inexpensively at a dollar store or craft store. 

One last suggestion. Since it frequently rains in the Spring, don’t have your wedding part wear satin shoes and consider purchasing an ample supply of umbrellas, just as a precaution. Don’t let some rain showers spoil your big day, even if it rains, your wedding can still be a success.
