Beautiful “award winning” Magnolia Table Display by Casey Murdough of The Elegant Petal evokes the feeling of Spring!

Well it finally feels like Spring is arriving here in Chicago! What a long winter it has been and here at Something 2 Dance 2 we are so looking forward to our Spring Weddings!

When thinking about Spring the beautiful pastel colors of yellow, green, pink, peach and lavender immediately come to mind.  Such a lovely color palette to use for your linens, flowers, favors an even cocktails.  The Knot.com recently posted an article on Spring Wedding Cocktails which I really enjoyed.  Ideas included a Mango Martini with pineapple juice, a Citrus Kiss with Grand Marnier and a Watermelon Martini.  What a delicious addition to your cocktail hour!

A most beautiful cocktail for Spring!

Now we can’t talk about Spring weddings without including some beautiful blooms!  I spoke with my friend and florist extraordinaire Casey Murdough from The Elegant Petal and here is what she shared with me:  “My favorite inclusion for Spring Weddings?  Blooming branches.  From Quince in the early months which resembles cherry branches, with delicate pink flowers and a clean japanese- feeling to the later- spring crab, with its natural wildly lush romantic profusion of blooms; I love pulling them into designs.  They offer a feel that is both natural, but elegant and romantic at the same time.”  Now if that doesn’t put you in the mood for Spring, I don’t know what to tell you!  Thanks so much Casey for your beautiful descriptions…

And in my opinion, no wedding reception is complete without yummy treats!  Think delicate pastel colored macarons, or refreshing fruit flavored sorbet as a sweet ending to your special day!
