As we all know spring in the UK is the season where nature wakes up from its long winter slumber.

Soft and Airy Colour Palettes for a Romantic Spring Aesthetic
To further elevate your Spring Wedding aesthetic why not consider colour schemes that complement the season’s natural tones and the delicate florals. In the same way that a winter wedding lends itself to dark rich tones and textures that give warmth and depth, in the spring you may want to incorporate colours and materials that feel more delicate and romantic.
Colours like pale pinks and pastels, sage greens and creams can be use as an accent or a theme throughout the day. Why not consider using light delicate textures like lace and ribbon, linen and crystal as a motif that recurs in elements like place settings, bouquets, invitations and other details. If this feels daunting try building a mood board with examples of images, colours and details that you like and try to keep that in mind when planning.
Delight Your Guests with Fresh, Seasonal Menu Ideas
One way that you can incorporate the essence of spring into your wedding that often gets over looked is within the food and beverages you serve to your guests. By working with your suppliers to showcase food and drink options that highlight spring’s flavours you can continue your theme and make for a really unique experience.
Ways that you could do this include asking your caterers to develop a light seasonal menu for your wedding breakfast that feels fresh and fun. It could be as simple as including things like edible flowers to dish or using lighter more delicate flavours.
Another option is to select some signature cocktails that incorporate spring flavours like rose hip, elderflower or lychee. Serving something a little different at cocktail hour not only adds something a little special but also provides an interesting talking point – especially if you come up with fun names for them.
Finally, why not consider cake flavours and fillings that continue your seasonal theme like lemon and thyme or raspberry and white chocolate. In my opinion the best bit of wedding planning is the cake tasting so why not ask your supplier to provide you with some sNext Steppring options to try.
Timeless Photo Opportunities in Somerset’s Spring Landscape
Finally when wanting to curate your perfect spring wedding always remember to talk with your photographer about your vision. Share with them your mood board and colour palette, give them examples of images you like and the overall feel you want your wedding to have. This will really help the photographer to curate the images they take of the day and capture those little details that are so important to you.
A great photographer will also be able to source and recommend locations around your venue that will work as a backdrop for your couples and formal shots, tying them into your romantic seasonal theme.
Depending on your wedding location they may also be able to utilise the beautiful Somerset countryside and find locations that feature seasonal flowers like apple blossom, roses, daffodils, peonies, hellebores, poppies and sweat peas.
