The Perfect Spring Wedding | Eeek - Colour Schemes!

Planning your dream wedding may seem a little daunting and everybody seems to have their own take on what makes for a good colour scheme. I'm here to give you my two-pence of what I think works well based on the various ceremonies that I have seen each season.

Lets start with Spring...


The Chic Wedding

Pastel pink, coral, pastel purple, mint or pastel blue look so beautiful as a colour scheme. Light, bright and airy with a hint of romance. You can add candles and some oversized letters, balloons or paper lanterns for that extra bit of 'je ne sais quoi'.


The Classic Wedding

One or two pastel colours with gold accessories is a big winner for this coming year.
We are going seriously glam here. Think Marilyn Monroe meets the Dior J'Adore advert from circa 2011.


The Boho Wedding

For those wanting a natural feel to their wedding; pale green or mint as a main colour scheme with cream. Pale freshly cut wildflowers everywhere; daisies, poppies, forget me not's- a fresh fruit wedding cake. Candles, ribbons tied around fixtures... The possibilities are endless.


The Simplistic Wedding

White with additional bright colours or multicoloured accents. This will draw the eye and you can have a lot of fun with this... Think multicoloured shoes for each bridesmaid, multicoloured socks for the groomsmen, balloons, flowers, even multicoloured umbrellas for if the weather turns into 'English Springtime'.

Readings and Poems to have in your Ceremony.

Choosing to incorporate readings or poems to your wedding celebration is a lovely way in which you will be able to add a personal touch to the ceremony that your wedding celebrant or 'officiant' has prepared for you.

It can be quite daunting when deciding which to choose of which are suitable so I have grouped together some of my favourite readings, poems and quotes for you to read and use as you wish. During the ceremony they can be used to ease the tension on you and your partner after saying your legal vows and before going on to exchanging rings/tokens. They can be read by the bride, groom, guests or of course the registrar if you wish.
