It comes as no surprise that spring is the season where most weddings take place. But why is that?
Spring symbolizes a season of “new beginnings”. The flower buds are coming out, animals are giving life to new young ones, and nature itself is waking up from its winter nap!
This sparks a sense of romance for many, making it the perfect setting for weddings.
With that said, let’s get into the dos and don’ts of a successful spring wedding!
Do – Check the weather forecast!
Spring is an ideal time for weddings in California as it is the season when the sky remains mostly clear and the temperatures are quite pleasant.
As California is a large state with different ecosystems, you have a wide variety of options when choosing the location and weather preferences when planning your wedding.
Depending on where in Cali you end up choosing for the wedding, temperatures can range from low 60℉ to high 70℉ in the months of March to May.
These are all different aspects you should be taking into account when planning a spring wedding.
Don’t – Be afraid of the occasional shower
Yes, sure it might rain… But, if you want an outdoor wedding don’t let that scare you off. You’ll be warned by many that spring showers are very common, but stick with your plan!
Don’t let a little chance of rain ruin the whole wedding. Who knows it might even add a little special element to your wedding photos if it does end up raining a bit!
P.S Worst-case scenario, you can make sure to have some tents or canopies included in your overall wedding decor, just in case.
Do – Have a spare outfit for your reception
If you’re having a daytime wedding with a nighttime reception it might be a good idea to have a change of clothes. Your wedding outfits might start to feel a little bit sweaty if the temperatures are high during the day.
Think of something comfortable and fun to change into after the ceremonial parts are done with.
For the ladies, a nice bridal jumpsuit might be a unique idea, and for the men think of some colorful shorts to match your blouse!
Don’t – Neglect comfort
Yes, you will look absolutely beautiful in your wedding gown and heels but don’t forget that it’s going to be a long and exhausting day.
You don’t need to put yourself through continuous suffering on your special day, you’re meant to be having fun and partying it up!
So, don’t hesitate to plan a quick outfit change into some sneakers or flats for your reception. A cool idea, if you have the budget for it, is to buy flip-flops for your guests to change into at the reception.
I promise, they’ll be thanking you for it!
Now that we’ve listed the most important dos and don’ts you have an easy guideline to continue planning your spring wedding.
