Planning an Easter Wedding

Easter is a great time of year to get married, with all those pastel spring colors which are ideal for weddings, and they are just perfect for an Easter celebration.

Gorgeous Easter pastel colors are the symbolic nature colors of springtime. If you’re planning an Easter wedding, Easter colors are that favorite part of spring which is always surrounded by beautiful floral designs and spring bright colors.

Creating an Easter wedding theme is a piece of cake. I would recommend using pretty pastel shades, as these are very popular around springtime and suit the fresh feel of the season. Dress your bridesmaids in lighter shades and use venue decorations in lilac, baby pink, lemon and mint. Think Mini Egg colours and you’ve got the theme spot on! Pom poms, paper decorations and hanging lanterns are perfect for this.

Easter eggs in a basket also make brilliant centre pieces. This theme is great for kids, as you can get them to decorate their own eggs, either on paper or on actual eggs. If your venue has gardens or grounds, you can also organise a huge Easter egg hunt to keep them entertained! We bet even the adults will be joining in before long :)
