As winter fades away and nature awakes, spring brings a sense of renewal and new beginnings. It's no wonder many couples celebrate their love during this magical time of the year. If you're planning a spring wedding, you're in for a treat! With blooming flowers, mild temperatures, and the promise of sunny days, a spring wedding offers endless possibilities for creating a memorable and romantic celebration. We've compiled our favourite tips to help you plan the perfect spring wedding.

Choose the Right Venue

Selecting the perfect venue sets the tone for your entire wedding day. Consider choosing a location that embraces the beauty of spring, such as a garden, vineyard, or countryside estate. At Berwick Lodge, an exclusive wedding venue in the heart of the picturesque countryside just outside of Bristol, you can exchange vows surrounded by lush gardens and stunning landscapes, with fountains and other garden features for incredible photos. The venue's elegant interiors and charming outdoor spaces provide the ideal backdrop for a romantic spring wedding.

Incorporate Seasonal Decor

Embrace the season's beauty by incorporating seasonal decor into your wedding theme. Opt for pastel hues, delicate florals, and natural elements like fresh greenery and blooming flowers. Consider using seasonal flowers such as tulips, daffodils, cherry blossoms, and peonies to add a touch of springtime charm to your decor. You can incorporate seasonal motifs like butterflies, birds, and floral patterns into your invitations, table settings, and other decorative elements.

Delicious Spring-Inspired Menu

Treat your guests to a delicious spring-inspired menu featuring fresh, seasonal ingredients. Work with your caterer to create a menu highlighting the season's flavours, such as farm-fresh salads, grilled vegetables, and light and refreshing entreés. Consider incorporating seasonal fruits like strawberries, raspberries, and citrus into your appetisers, cocktails, and desserts. And don't forget to toast to your love with a signature spring cocktail or refreshing mocktail that captures the season's essence.

Plan for Weather Changes

While spring weather can be unpredictable, proper planning ensures your wedding day goes off without a hitch. Consider renting a tent or marquee for an outdoor ceremony or reception to provide shelter in case of rain or excessive sun. Provide guests with umbrellas, shawls, or blankets to stay comfortable in cooler temperatures. Be sure to have a backup plan for any outdoor activities or ceremonies to ensure your day runs smoothly, regardless of the weather.

Capture the Beauty of Spring

Finally, remember to capture the beauty of spring in your wedding photos. Work with your photographer to scout out picturesque locations with blooming flowers, lush greenery, and natural light to create stunning and timeless images you'll cherish for years. Consider scheduling a pre-wedding photo shoot during golden hour to capture the warm and romantic glow of the setting sun against the backdrop of springtime landscapes.
