Spring has finally sprung…and it is about time!  Wedding Season in Chicago is right around the corner, so I thought I would share some Spring Wedding Trends to help in your planning.

*Spring Floral Trends Pantone announced their 2011 color pick is Honeysuckle.  Jenny Polloway of Elizabeth Wray Design in Geneva, loves this bright red/pink shade for spring, and best of all…there are many spring flowers that come in a honeysuckle hue.

*Outdoor is in! Have your wedding ceremony or reception outdoors and enjoy the beautiful, sunny weather. Add bright colors to the wedding with decor, bridesmaid’s dresses, or hair styles, and make your wedding eye-catching and unique.

*Wedding Gowns Sarah with Elizabeth Wray Design shares some great tips for Spring Wedding Gowns.  “Pay homage to the season by wearing a gown with floral details such as three-dimensional embellishments or subtle appliques. I love these gowns for their layered texture, amazing details, and oh so feminine silhouettes. Let the sweet romance of a blossoming flower be the inspiration for your bridal gown!”

*Wedding Favors Plantable seeds or a blooming plant can be symbolic of the bride & groom’s new journey, and is a great idea for Spring.  Or how about your favorite cupcake adorned with a beautiful edible flower.  Add a small vase adorned with butterflies or birds to complete your theme.

Happy Spring and Happy Wedding Planning!
