Capture the Essence of Easter in Your Spring Wedding
The daffodils are bringing a much-needed splash of colour, the lambs are gamboling about in the fields, the weather is finally warming up – and love is in the air! Easter is all about new life and new beginnings, making it the perfect theme to build your wedding around as you embark on your new life as a married couple.
Creating a coherent look built around one central idea helps create a magical experience on the day for you and your guests, and creates a wedding story that will live on in images and memories for years to come. If you’re planning on a spring wedding, why not weave a touch of Easter into your day to help build that coherence?
Here’s how:
Embrace the Symbolism of Easter:
The central idea of Easter is new life and new beginnings, as represented by blooming flowers and Easter eggs. These elements offer powerful motifs around which you can build your day. Ask your content creator to incorporate shots of budding flowers, the warmth of the spring sun, and the joy of families coming together to celebrate love and unity when editing together your wedding story to help those motifs shine through. You might even want to include an easter egg hunt for guests in your day!
Make Pastels your Color Theme:
The soft spring light we get at this time of year is perfect for those baby pinks, blues and yellows that epitomise easter decor. Picking just one pastel as your main colour and accenting it with a bolder shade of the same hue will give your wedding a dreamy, romantic look. Alternatively, going for the whole rainbow in matching pastel shades will create a joyful, vibrant look, instantly bringing a spring-time feel to your palette. Let your florist know what colours your bridesmaids will be wearing so that she can coordinate their bouquets to finish the look.
Incorporate Easter Themes into your Ceremony:
Whether you’re opting for a traditional church ceremony or a more modern handfasting, incorporating Easter themes of rejuvenation and renewal can be a powerful way to bring the reason for the season into your ceremony. Talk to your celebrant before they write the service asking them to build your ceremony around those motifs and ideas, keeping that thread running throughout the whole day.
Above all, remember that your big day isn’t just about those instagrammable moments, as important as they are, it’s about the love you and your partner have for each other, and the love of your friends and family as they celebrate your step into married life. So breathe in that fresh spring air, take a hold of each other’s hands, and enjoy every moment of your day together!
