If your spring venue has beautiful grounds or gardens, make sure that you get your photographer to snap some outdoor photos after your ceremony. The trees and plants will be in bloom, making for some wonderful picture opportunities. 

Get your photographer to scout out locations ahead of time.

Keep guests entertained with fairground games or even rides! You can hire dodgems or a carousel, and it’s pretty easy to DIY your own coconut shy and hook-a-duck.

Even if you’re not having an outdoor wedding, have one part of the day outdoors. Reception drinks are a great time for this, when you can throw open terrace doors or go out into a courtyard. It’s an exciting element in the flow of the day, and 

encourages guests to mingle and explore. The perfect time to get a mobile bar outside too!

If you’re wearing a floor-length wedding dress, you could find that you’ll get sweaty when the evening dancing starts. A spring wedding is a great chance to wear a second dress in the evening that’s shorter and more suitable for the dance floor. 

Chances are by May the temperature will have started to climb (fingers crossed!).

The sun may be making a reappearance during spring but unfortunately the weather can still be quite unpredictable. Have a bridal cover up prepared just in case it gets a bit nippy. Try a handpainted leather jacket or a cute faded denim one.

Give out packets of wildflower seeds as wedding favours. If you’re really green-fingered, what about plant cuttings or succulents?

If you’re lucky enough not to have rain on your day, it doesn’t mean the ground might not still be a little muddy. Provide guests in heels with heel protectors or flip flops for the evening.

End your reception with a fireworks display as the night draws in.
