With its mild weather and bright blooms, spring is a wonderful time for a wedding. However, planning a wedding for the season does come with a few concerns. Before you and your beloved book a wedding venue for spring, here are a few pieces of advice to keep in mind.

What to Do When Planning a Spring Wedding

1. Book the Wedding Venue Early

Even though spring isn’t the most popular season for nuptials—summer holds that title—it’s still rife with weddings. If you wait too long, you could miss out on the wedding venues and vendors you want. Also, depending on the guest list, you may need to factor in spring break. This could affect both your guests’ availability and nearby hotel vacancies. The earlier you start, the higher the chances your wedding wish list will be fulfilled.

2. Choose Seasonal Flowers

Selecting seasonal flowers for the bouquet, table centerpieces, and various decorations is much more affordable than paying for blooms that flourish in summer or autumn.

It’ll also make your interactions with your florist more pleasant. For example, if you have a specific aesthetic in mind, focus on the texture and color palette instead of a particular flower species. Your florist will know what to do.

3. Plan for Inclement Weather

While you may hope for the best, you should prepare for the possibility of rain and cold weather; choose a wedding venue with an indoor space, just in case. Because the season offers so much natural beauty, if you want to hold it outside, restrict it to the ceremony only. The reception should remain indoors since it comprises a majority of your guests’ time at the festivities.

For brides, consider the weather when choosing your gown and bridesmaids’ dresses. This doesn’t mean you need to go for only sleeved options, but think about getting coordinating shawls or cardigans in case it’s chilly.
