7 Steps to the Perfect Easter Wedding
During the Easter period, you can expect some changeable weather despite the days becoming longer. You’ve probably planned ahead and decided to hold the ceremony indoors (with a shift to the outdoors for the photo shoot when the sun peaks through!) but you can become quite chilly if you’re not prepared. Below are a couple of beautiful options with some other suggestions for that special day…
Wrap Up!
With Easter in mind, try and emulate the delicacy of spring blossoms using some lovely, delicate lace patterns as a shrug or for something slightly heavier, try a faux shoulder wrap with pearl-like buttons as clasps.
Pets allowed?
Easter would not be the same without a bunny or two hopping around. Have you confirmed your wedding venue yet? Why not decide to wed on a farm or at your local zoo? You can take your wedding photos riding a horse then at the proof stage, choose a colour that coordinates the dress with the mane but consult Wedding site directory for more advice and tips. Use smaller animals for adorable pictures of the young bridesmaids and the page boys as well. They can also carry baskets of colourful eggs after the ceremony for a magical shot.
Velvet boleros that offer a touch of retro…
Long-sleeved or off the shoulder versions of a high-waisted bolero encrusted in white and ivory beads. With a raised collar, you will nail that regal and refined look. It will also elongate the length of the dress and your figure.
Pastel colours scream Spring!
There are so many variations of wraps and shawls out there and they can be perfectly teamed with long gloves. The half sleeve version or a casual jacket with mid sleeves can also match up with long satin or soft ivory gloves. To complete your look, bring in some soft colouring to the top with a selection from soft yellows, pinks and greens.
The Easter Charm
In certain European cultures, it is traditional for the guests to leave with a small token of appreciation from the couple. Because it is Easter, why not have white eggs as shakers with a thumbprint of the bride and groom forming a heart with their names and the wedding date.
Easter with a rustic flair
Create the down-to-earth appeal with a tree stump and a card holder to designate the place settings with the names handwritten over the tablecloth. Encase a wide candle within a glass container with green and sprigs, as a centerpiece for the tables. Wedding décor needn’t be a faff or expensive either!
And last but not least…
The chaps can come into thei own on your big day too. Adding a zest of colour, he can wear a red shirt or waistcoat matching a red and yellow buttonhole under his classic suit!
Easter is one of the best times of the year and it makes sense to want to marry below blooms and blue skies. Enjoy the fresh summer breeze and make your wedding truly unique!
