Get Creative With a Spring Theme for Your North Carolina Wedding
North Carolina Weddings

One of the best themes you can use for your wedding is a spring-themed wedding. Because it’s a time of new beginnings and romance, this provides the perfect opportunity to say your “I Dos” and make the ultimate commitment to that special someone. A great thing about using spring as the theme of your wedding is that it can be incorporated into every single detail, which provides wonderful continuity, and all of this can be done very easily. The main components of a spring-themed wedding will be pretty pastels, wildflowers, herbs, fresh fruit and of course, flowers.

The ceremony is a wonderful way to begin the spring theme. You can use the spring theme by placing fresh flowers in the hair of your bridesmaids, use wildflowers in your bouquets, and as well as in your groom’s boutonniere. Some very popular wildflowers are tulips, irises, lilacs and daffodils. Giving the flower girl a basket filled with daisy petals or wildflowers will definitely add to the spring theme.

For the reception, it’s an absolute must to begin the festivities outdoor on a deck or balcony, if possible and the weather allows for it. During the reception, passing around fresh fruit and serving the same fresh fruit after the cake is cut and served is another wonderful play on the spring theme. For something truly decadent and romantic, serve chocolate-covered strawberries. Some couples choose to have a small dessert table available when cake is served and tarts and shortcake with fruit topping make very nice springtime desserts.

Decorations are another easy and fun way to incorporate the theme into a spring wedding. They are so easy in fact, that they can be done yourself and not take a lot of time out of wedding planning. The same types of fresh wildflowers that were used earlier in the bouquets can now be placed in metal buckets or clear vases and displayed throughout the reception area. Dried herbs, such as rosemary, can be very pretty and can be tucked into the floral displays for extra depth and filling. The centerpieces can also be made yourself. Floating candles are very nice and keep with the simplicity of spring but fresh flowers in a bowl are an especially nice added touch to a spring wedding. If you’re on a tight budget and don’t want to spend big bucks on petals in a bowl, choose potpourri. It’s just as romantic and will smell very pretty!

Covering the tables with lacy linens is another elegant way to decorate for a spring wedding. Sprinkle the top of the tablecloth with flower petals and this instantly becomes a wonderful spring table setting! Any other surfaces that you want to cover either use lace tablecloths again or cover small areas with doilies.

Spring holds endless opportunities and when planning a spring wedding, there are also endless opportunities here as well! The clear, blue sky is the limit so don’t hold back when planning a spring wedding. Chances are if it says new and fresh to you, it will fit right in!
