Here are my top ideas on how to theme and decorate your spring 2008 wedding;
1) Colour – Think fresh and new and you think of bright green and refreshing yellow. Daffodil yellow is uplifting and easy to find at this time of year and green should be lush like freshly grown grass (Not freshly mown grass – that’s my summer ideas!) Try mixing the two colours, not just in bouquets but also with your table wear too. Green table linen with yellow napkins would create a splash of colour. Speciality Linen has some great examples. Compliment with white chairs, each with a daffodil secured to the back with silk ribbon.
2) Favours – Think new and grow your own! Buy daffodil bulbs and wrap in pretty organza, tie with a ribbon and attach a tag with your guests name on. Packets of seeds should be sown around now, so provide your guests with a packet of lovely coloured blooms-to-be and place in mini terracotta pots decorated with ribbon. You could even pain their names on the side of these to double as place settings too!
3) Entertainment – make your friends and family laugh by providing them with the equipment to hold a welly throwing competition! How about remembering the good old days and hiring a maypole for them to dance around (maybe not a good idea in the evening once people have sunk a few champagnes!) or ask a local Morris dancing group to come and put on a show?
4) Colour again – Tulips!! GORGEOUS flowers (can you tell they are my favourite?) and they come in so many amazing colours, they are perfect to bunch together and put in something a simple as a tin can with patterned paper or cloth glued around it and placing in forgotten areas like bathrooms (for the ladies!) bar areas and welcome halls. Cheap, but incredibly cheerful.
5) Cake – Yum! Look at this one – Masie Fantasie. Its even named after the season and after working with May in the past, it will taste incredible too.
6) Stationery – Lollipop Designs. This Company has an amazing design range, which features ranges called Daisy, Anna and Lola. All three would be perfect for a springtime wedding and funky and modern with it.
7) Table Centre – I love my wicker and as it comes in all shapes and sizes, consider using them as a table centre and filling with springtime blooms. Wicker baskets would look very country and large wicker ‘pots’ would be perfect outside the doors of your venue to welcome your guests in.
