Sure, weddings are happy occasions and fun fill events. Usually. Ask anyone who ever planned a wedding ‘ hers or a client’s ‘ and she’ll probably be able to share some absolute horror stories of things that went wrong. Planning the wedding needn’t be rife with problems, though.

What is vital in planning any wedding is to allot a reasonable amount of time for the size of the festivities. In other words, if you want to hire a caterer who has his own reality TV show, and you want a gown designed by Vera Wang, plan on 12 ‘ 18 months at a minimum, not to mention you must plan for the exorbitant costs.

Choosing the perfect wedding favours for your forthcoming spring wedding is an exciting part of your wedding planning. Here we talk about some tangible ways in which you can create the perfect look for your wedding reception tables.

The best advice anyone can offer a spring bride is to take her inspiration from seasonal items that one would naturally associate with this time of year. In other words, think of springtime flowers such as tulips, daffodils and crocuses. Ensure your bouquet is bursting with seasonal blooms and you can also encompass these flowers in your favours. Bunches of dried seasonal flowers tied with pretty ribbons are pertinent to this time of year and a great way to bring a sense of springtime to your reception tables. Equally, seeds are the epitome of spring and so personalised seed kits make fantastic favours too.

At this time of year, we also think about Easter-time and using this seasonal celebration as a theme for your wedding is a great idea. Presenting guests with chocolate eggs in raffia nests make for unusual yet delicious favours or alternatively mini bonnets could be filled with pastel coloured sweets for an Eastertide feel. Fruit filled meringue nests also make for a great dessert idea too if you wish to continue the theme in your seasonal menu.
