By Aaron Hu

If you are a bride marrying this spring, you are not only just celebrating the birth of your married life together with your groom, but also the rebirth of nature. This gives you the opportunity to meld the two themes of matrimony and spring into a harmonious whole for your ceremony. The best part is that you plan it accordingly; you will not only have a wonderful wedding, but one that is not too costly. A wedding has many components that a bride has to go over as she begins her planning. Other than picking your spring theme, you will need to choose the decorations and floral arrangements, plan the ceremony and reception, and most importantly think of spring themed wedding favors to give to your guests, to thank them for coming to your ceremony. This sounds like a lot to do, but here are some great suggestions to help you get started as you plan your spring wedding.

Think about the locations for your ceremony and reception. As the saying goes "Location, Location, Location." Where you hold your ceremony and reception can play a role in how successful your wedding is. First there are the practical needs that must be met. Look for a location that can easily and comfortably accommodate all your guests. A good way to know what to look for is to see who has RSVP'ed and compare the total number to the capacity of the venues that you are looking at. Next you need to see if the location has amenities that you can take advantage of for your wedding. For example if you choose a hotel with a kitchen for your reception, you can likely use the hotel as your caterer and save money in a package deal. Of course there also has to be impact. Play around with using dramatic locations for exchanging your vows such as a public garden.

Look for interesting wedding favors to give your guests. Wedding favors are a great way to say thank you to friends, family, and other guests for taking the time to come to your ceremony. When choosing spring wedding favors try to make the guest gifts match your theme. Try to comparison shop to find quality items at affordable prices. A great idea is to give something that not only matches your seasonal theme, but also has some useful or amusing feature. This can be a cup, keychain, or a money clip.

Think carefully about your floral arrangements. Flowers are one of the cornerstones of a beautiful wedding and if you are holding a spring ceremony, choosing the right flower becomes even more important. The interesting thing about flowers is the special meaning that have been attached to them over the centuries. A great way to convey a special message about what your wedding day means to you and your groom is to use the language of flowers to decide your floral arrangement. Each flower has a special meaning pertaining to love. For example a white rose can mean pure and eternal love.

Be creative with your reception menu and try to match it with your seasonal theme. For your reception a great idea is to serve spring salads or use garden vegetables in other dishes. This is not only healthy and delicious but adds a delicious and satisfying touch to your reception. - 30544
