Spruce Up Your Spring Wedding!

Spring Weddings are light, bright and jubilant. The trees and flowers are budding, the sun is shining longer, and everything seems new again! Here are some ideas to spruce up your Spring Wedding!

Flavored Water Station

A flavored cold glass of water after sitting through a 30-minute ceremony, your guests will be sure to appreciate. Some flavors to consider, cucumber, lemon, strawberry, orange-pineapple or raspberry. A great way to get your guests hydrated before they take advantage of the open bar! It’s a really great and inexpensive addition, after all it is just water!

Spring Specialty Cocktails

One way to add a little character and personal touch is to select a fun spring specialty cocktail. Think Watermelon Moscow Mules, Lavender Mint Juleps, Cherry Blossom Cocktails or perhaps a Frosé bar!

Sweets & Treats
Everybody loves Ice Cream! Especially in spring when it’s finally getting warm again. We offer a deluxe ice-cream bar here at the Salem Waterfront Hotel & Suites with various toppings and flavors your guests will love! Personalized ice cream spoons are a great favor idea for your guests to take with them as they grab their sweet treat before departing.

For spring wedding cakes, it’s no surprise that flowers are one of the most popular decorations. Ask your florist to set aside a few extra flowers that you can use for decoration.

If you’re looking for alternative dessert ideas, bite-sized treats such as macaroons, miniature pies, and cake pops are great if you love the idea of a garden party wedding.

Unique Centerpieces

A single bloom under wine glasses with a candle on top serves as a double-duty centerpiece. Or how about getting creative with your vases and incorporating some spring eggs or sliced fruit to add to colorful and festive centerpieces. We also have black lanterns here at the Salem Waterfront Hotel & Suites that you can have filled with flowers to create a slightly nautical spring wedding!

Attire

Look for playful and romantic dresses made with lace, tulle or even feathers when your shopping to say yes to the dress! Consider floral bridesmaid dresses or pastels for your BFF’s. Flower crowns are also a great way to elevate any spring wedding hairstyle. Fresh & fun, these styles just scream springtime.

When it comes to your soon-to-be hubby’s suit, opt for a lighter color and fabric. Blues and pinks are perfect for a spring wedding. Even consider the groomsmen adding a pop of floral to their suits!

FLOWERS FLOWERS FLOWERS

Although highly expected for a spring wedding there are ways to add flowers in unexpected places for a fun touch like these ideas below.

Spring weddings also provide the option to save a ton on flowers. With wild flowers being a great option to traditional flowers they can be mix-matched and handpicked. Tulips and Hydrangeas are also a popular spring choice that are lighter on the wallet. If flowers aren’t your thing, embrace greenery, moss and herbs.
