Planning an Easter Wedding

Easter is a great time of year to get married, with all those pastel spring colors which are ideal for weddings, and they are just perfect for an Easter celebration.

Gorgeous Easter pastel colors are the symbolic nature colors of springtime. If you’re planning an Easter wedding, Easter colors are that favorite part of spring which is always surrounded by beautiful floral designs and spring bright colors.

Creating an Easter wedding theme is a piece of cake. I would recommend using pretty pastel shades, as these are very popular around springtime and suit the fresh feel of the season. Dress your bridesmaids in lighter shades and use venue decorations in lilac, baby pink, lemon and mint. Think Mini Egg colours and you’ve got the theme spot on! Pom poms, paper decorations and hanging lanterns are perfect for this.

Easter eggs in a basket also make brilliant centre pieces. This theme is great for kids, as you can get them to decorate their own eggs, either on paper or on actual eggs. If your venue has gardens or grounds, you can also organise a huge Easter egg hunt to keep them entertained! We bet even the adults will be joining in before long :)

Spring Wedding Inspiration

I don't know about you but I just can't wait for Spring to arrive properly. I am dreaming of sunny days and flowers blooming and of course our Spring weddings!

Everyone loves Spring especially after the dark cold days of Winter and it is becoming increasingly popular with wedding couples. The beautiful pastel palettes of Spring colour are truly refreshing.

How do you choose your color? It’s easy really, make sure you choose a color that you love and that really reflects your personality and persona. If cool pastel shades don’t really agree with your fiery loud personality then it may seem strange to guests, so make sure it really says you. Consider how to mix your colors, don’t just stick to one, and why not try using a stronger accent color to help blend in with your chosen color. Don’t be afraid to stick to these colors, choose a darker shade or lighter tint of some of these popular colors, you’ll still be on trend but using it to your advantage.

I hope you feel inspired!
