Spring Wedding? Tips, Trends, and Ideas for the Perfect Spring Wedding Day

Getting married in the spring? What an absolutely gorgeous time of year to celebrate the love between you two. There are many trends, tips and wedding ideas to make your wedding one sure to be remembered.

Believe it or not, weddings are downsizing. Many couples no longer choose to have a huge bridal party with many bridesmaids and groomsmen. Couples are keeping their bridal parties close to their hearts by choosing family first such as sisters, brothers, cousins and other very close family and friends.

Another trend we’re seeing? Gray! Believe it or not, gray seems to be the color replacing the popular chocolate brown as we move into 2009. What could be a better color? Gray blends so nicely with just about any color from yellow to pinks to turquoise blues. Mix it up with spring wedding favors that use the accent color such as wildflower seed favors in a pink or lavender sitting on a silky gray tablecloth. Very elegant look.

Old World Hollywood inspired wedding gowns are definitely top choices for Spring brides. Dramatic shapes, a bit of a plunge in the front or back and beautifully inspired hemlines all contribute to a wedding gown to die for.

Eco-friendly green weddings are definitely on the minds of conscientious couples planning a wedding. No waste and the idea of leaving as small a footprint as possible is how these couples plan their weddings. Choose an outdoor wedding simply decorated by Mother Nature herself. Select bridesmaid dresses that really can be used again. Ditto wedding favors. Choose practical favors that your guests will use again in their homes.

Spring wedding hair is all about loose, sexy hair that you really do want to touch. Use beautiful wedding hair accessories such as crystal barrettes and tiaras to add a bit of shimmer and sparkle to your wedding day style.

The eco-friendly wedding theme continues throughout the food and beverage selections. Think locally grown, organic food and wines. Many farmer markets have early spring produce, fresh brown eggs, and organic wines to choose from and are often much less expensive than going to a grocery store or food chain. If you’re using a wedding planner, make sure she/he understands how important buying locally is to you when planning your wedding buffet or sit down dinner.

Remember, it’s your wedding and you are the one who is most important in making the choices. You may love the new gray and pink look for your wedding invitations but just cannot see your bridesmaids in a gray dress. That’s okay! Choose what makes you happy so that your wedding day is completely personal for you.

Happy Spring Wedding Planning
