SPRING HAS SPRUNG Julia Mutch from Meols Hall (https://meolshall.co.uk) says: We embrace the seasons here and following the frosty winter months, we welcome spring and the arrival of lighter days. Is there a better season to celebrate your wedding day? The Tithe Barn is set in a hundred acres of private parkland with wild meadows and enchanting woods for you to explore, so there are endless idyllic settings for beautiful photographs of your special day. As the weather grows warmer and the grounds begin to come alive and burst into colour with bluebells, crocuses and daffodils. We associate the season with shades of purple, yellow and soft sage green – there are so many pretty blooms that you can perfectly incorporate into your springtime wedding décor. Since the British weather can still be unpredictable, an indoor/ outdoor option is essential and a thoughtful idea is to provide a basket with blankets or shawls for guests in case conditions turn chilly. They could complement your colour palette and be tied with a pretty ribbon. Your guests will appreciate being able to stay cosy. Spring is a beautiful season for colour palette inspiration, with fresh pastels that are so easily translated into pretty bridesmaids dresses, decorations, wedding stationery and table settings. It’s a lovely idea to gift your centrepieces at the end of the evening to special guests allowing them to enjoy your big day for a little longer. NEW LIFE Debbie Bennett from Lilac and Thyme (www.lilacandthyme.co.uk) says: Spring is the start of a fresh, new beginning, just like the journey you’re taking together. This time of year resonates warmer, longer days, beautiful florals and hope of brighter things to come, and the season’s flowers are nature’s most fragrant charms. Here at Lilac and Thyme, we believe through the grace, flow and colours of spring flowers, we can bring a romantic and elegant addition to your day. https://bryanfarrell.co.uk SHOWERED WITH LOVE Hannah Mayo Caligari from Event In A Tent (www.event-in-a-tent.co.uk) says: Spring is all about new life. Every colour is brighter, and the grass is so much greener. With this in mind and in relation to outdoor venues, such as our tipis, it’s the perfect time to dress every single beam with bright flowers and greenery. Foliage wrapped around the poles looks so beautiful and really sets off a springtime wedding. Adding centrepieces with spring flowers such as daffodils, hyacinths and irises also brings the vibrancy inside. Outside, plant pots and garden furniture lend themselves perfectly to the theme you’ve laid out within. Clear spring days are great and ideally what you’d wish for on your wedding day, but if the April showers show up, they don’t have to ruin your outdoor nuptials. Tipis are so versatile – if you planned to have it all open but feel this is too much of a risk at this time of year, you can opt for a clear extension. This lets all the light in to make sure your venue still feels bright and airy, but also keeps your guests nice and dry. www.lucygphotography.co.uk 56
