Planning a Spring or Summer Wedding: Tips from the Experts

Traditionally, April through September are considered "wedding season" by most wedding industry professionals. Simply put, it is our busiest time of the year. So if you are planning a wedding during this time, how do you prepare? What are the hot trends?

1. Always book early!

Spring and Summer months tend to book up quickly, so reserve your reception hall, florist, and cake decorator early to ensure that they still have your wedding date available. Even those "little extras", such as wedding favors and cake toppers, may be out of stock during "wedding season", so buy them as early as possible.

2. Use Seasonal Colors with Natural Accents

The trends for Spring weddings are soft, pastel colors with flower accents.

Candles, such as our "Daisy Flower" Glass Tealight Candle Holders, add romantic soft light and a hint of color to your reception tables. Or use them as fun individual candy dishes for each place setting.

Summer is all about fun, bright colors and beach-themed weddings.

Create a tropical oasis for your guests by using beach-themed accessories, such as favors and place card holders. Use real seashells and starfish in centerpieces and on reception tables to continue the theme.

Our Starfish Wooden Place Card Holder / Photo Frame adds a fun, rustic beach look to your reception tables. Or add a picture for a fun personalized favor for your guests.

3. Plan a Destination Wedding

Take advantage of the beautiful weather by planning a destination wedding! Popular destinations include tropical locations like Hawaii and Jamaica. Some brides even book all-inclusive cruises with their wedding party. Make the travel time easier for your guests by scheduling your wedding during Summer Vacation or Spring Break.

Continue the theme by giving your bridesmaids and groomsmen fun travel gifts, such as Personalized Tote Bags or Personalized Cosmetic Bags that they can use on the trip.

Fall decorating can be more than just turkeys and pumpkins! You can create elegant holiday events by following a few simple rules:

1. Use the Shapes & Colors of the Season! - Certain images remind us of autumn and give us a warm, comforting feeling. The fall season is all about changing leaves and rich colors, so use that as an inspiration for decorations and centerpieces.

2. Let Nature Inspire You! - Use natural items to create beautiful, inexpensive centerpieces. A vase filled with bright fall leaves & branches and tied with burnt orange ribbon makes a simple, elegant statement.

3. A Good Host Always Thanks the Guests! - Give your guests thank-you favors to remember your event. You can also use favor boxes as cute table decorations by placing one at each table setting in the center of the dinner plate.
