Spring Themed Wedding – Factors to consider
Daylight saving time – In 2008, saving daylight time begins on Sunday 09 March, after which the sun will set an hour later. Keep this date in mind if you imagine an evening outdoor ceremony.
Dance factor – in May and June are prime prom months, so be sure to book early transport and places.
Variable time – the spring weather can be unpredictable. An unusually warm and sunny Friday may give way to a miserably cold and rainy Saturday. Be prepared for extremes.
All in the Details – Spring Wedding Ideas
Invitations & Stationery

* Garden Settings abound – take advantage of the budding leaves and flowers with botanical gardens, mansions with lush gardens, or other place with a garden or patio pristine.
* Take it indoors – where an outdoor setting is not possible – find an indoor location with panoramic windows offering a light and bright and airy atmosphere.
Décor Elements
* Color Palette – 1) green and white – an elegant accompaniment to a garden. 2) yellow and green, another new partner, natural color. 3) preppy – combine with the green color hot pink handle (think polka dots and gingham). 4) chocolate brown – this works fine fashion color for spring – for pale blue or pink.
* Enjoy of nature and patterns – to create a playful effect – think gingham, polka dots, eyelet lace, swiss dots and dashes.
* Add a little green – herbs and other plants can be a natural setting for outdoor garden. Place on roundabouts and incorporate in agreements
