A Wedding in Spring - The Joys and Heartaches
Spring is seen as the start of a new year and provides a wonderfully appropriate backdrop for weddings with Spring Weddings symbolising the start of a new life together for the bride and groom. Depending on where you are living, the flowers will be beginning to bloom and the new buds are on the trees giving everyone a fresh feeling after the dreary winter months. A Spring Wedding can be just what everyone needs to look forward to.
Of course, Spring Weddings are best held in regions that actually have a true spring season. Tropical countries do not have the same definition of spring as western European or Eastern American states. Some countries do have more rain in spring to help give the trees and flowers the best start to their growing season so it is advisable to prepare for the chance of inclement weather.
In fact, that is exactly what happened to a friend of mine. She had planned the perfect setting for the most picturesque of Spring Weddings in a grand hotel with beautiful grounds filled with lots of spring flowers and blossoming trees.
Everything was set for the perfect day but on the morning of the ceremony the heavens opened and it was obvious that the possibility of holding the service outside would be impossible. The hotel had plenty of experience of hosting Spring Weddings and brought their 'wet weather plan' into action.
The ceremony was held in a room filled with flowers from the garden which gave the impression of almost being outdoors, apart from the rain! So always bear in mind that if your heart is set on a Spring Wedding the venue for your reception will almost certainly be able to cope with unrequested weather!
The colors of a Spring Wedding tend to be the paler shade of pinks, lemons, blues and greens. Everything seems fresh and new and a Spring Wedding can be wonderful!
A Summer Wedding - The Fun in the Sun!!
A Summer Wedding is the most popular choice for brides to be. Generally it is thought that a Summer Wedding will ensure good weather and that lends itself to more outside planning.
Whether you opt for outdoors or indoors planning a Summer Wedding can give you a unique opportunity to have some fun! If you are having children at your Summer Wedding why not keep them happy with an ice cream bar! This can be a great talking and meeting point for guests of all ages although the younger ones may appreciate it more!!
Summertime and watermelon go together. Watermelon can be a wonderful, cooling fruit one a warm summers day. For your Summer Wedding why not offer alcoholic and non-alcoholic refreshements based around watermelon. One interesting way to serve watermelon is to cut a small hole in the top and over a period of a few hours fill the melon with vodka! Keep the watermelon chilled and then slice and serve to guests - a wonderful way for a Summer Wedding tipple!
Treat your Summer Wedding guests to a few games while you get your pictures taken. These days there is no shortage of large versions of popular games such as Jenga, Snakes and Ladders and Four in a Row. Why not keep your guests entertained with the local schools marching band who may be keen to play at Summer Weddings.
The colors of a Summer Wedding are similar to those of a Spring Wedding only stronger. Normally the sunlight is stronger and brighter and that lends itself to your colorscheme being more vibrant aswell. If you imagine a lazy, hazy summer day then perhaps creams and greens will suit your Summer Wedding plan better.
A Fall Wedding - Cool, Crisp and Crunchy
A Fall Wedding can be absolutely wonderful! Its a superb time of year when nature gives us her full blast before falling asleep for the winter. An outdoor Fall Wedding is a colorful occasion so make the most of it if you can.
The days are cool and crisp, there's a hint of frost and the sky has never been bluer! The trees are in their fall glory so why not hold your Fall Wedding in a state park, a vineyard or even an orchard!
Hold your Fall Wedding reception outdoors, weather permitting, and your guests can crunch through leaves to sit in a marquee and sip warmed wine. As the daylight fades carved out pumpkins with candles are lit and the atmosphere is soooo romantic!
If you decide on indoors for your Fall Wedding why not a rustic farm or inn with a real roaring fire to warm those fall chills away. If at all possible get pictures taken outside as you cannot beat the backdrop of color that mother nature will wear for your Fall Wedding Day!!
The colorscheme for any Fall Wedding just has to follow natures glory with shades of brown, gold, burnt orange and red. These colors lend themselves to most complexions and look stunning!
A Winter Wedding Wonderland
If you have decided to have a Winter Wedding then probably it will be an indoor event. Any venue can be turned into a Winter Wedding Fairytale whatever your chosen colorscheme.
As with an indoor Fall Wedding the choice of a rustic, quaint country inn with huge roaring fire and mulled wine could be the Winter Wedding perfect venue. A mountain lodge with views of the silent, snowcovered valley below could be just what you are after. If you have the opportunity to use a backdrop provided by nature then I would suggest getting outdoors for even a few pictures. You wont regret it!
When Phoebe from Friends had her Winter Wedding on a New York street and it started snowing it was the most wonderful moment. Fairylights, candles and snowflakes.....very romantic!
Colorwise think traditional, forest green, burgundy red and snow white or ultra modern with silver and ice blue. Fur and velvet or simmering sequins and satin both are wonderful for that Winter Wedding.
Whatever season you decide to marry in you have a wealth of venues, themes and colors to choose from and whatever you decide to do I hope you have the Wedding of you dreams!!
