Ideas for Your Easter Wedding

Like all the wonders that this world has to offer, season changes never cease to surprise us. No matter how cold and merciless the winter has been, spring will always be at the end of it with its soft sunshine and optimism. In a world where you can't rely on much, you can always rely on seasons to come every year, sure as the sun will rise every day! Spring is one of the most beautiful seasons out there, and it doesn't take much convincing. After the cold winter, the layers come off, the sun feels good on the skin, the flower beds look alive again with persistent buds of flowers pushing through the melting snow. There is a lightness in the air like you are walking on clouds. No wonder it's the perfect season to tie the knot of eternal love!

We as humans love a good celebration. Whether it is the first day of spring, the third anniversary of your first date, or your cat’s birthday, celebrations do bring happiness into life. So, when the first shy appearances of spring delight our soul, bringing in the promise of warmer and longer days, the wedding with your sweetheart, and also the festivities of Easter, of course, you have to plan to make it epic! A wedding that collides with spring comes bearing tons of opportunities and sure it does take some brainstorming and intention, but when done right, it will bring to you the perfect portrait of a spring Easter wedding! Another great reason to host your wedding against the blush tones of spring and major holiday? You will never forget your anniversary!

While you can get your bridesmaid's dresses just the right shade of pastel, or you can order a wedding cake which is a picture of art, it all comes down to the decor to hold it all together! Wedding decor plays a pivotal role in communicating the wedding theme of a couple in just the most wonderful ways, and this is where your creativity and intent show up. If you are planning for an Easter wedding, here are some of the things that you can consider which will instantly add a special touch to your wedding day. 

The theme: Talk to your partner and nail down what your theme will be. Sure, it's an Easter wedding, but having the intended vibes of the wedding decor clearly jotted down always helps. Is your Easter spring wedding rustic or elegant? Are you more nature-inclined, or are your decor majorly pastels and can’t be furthest from nature? Anything you choose should be clear in your mind first before it comes to life on your wedding day! After you have the theme right, you are on a solid path towards planning your wedding decor to finer details.

The Hues: Easter steps softly into colors, taking only the faintest shades from nature's color box. So using pastel shades of pinks, lavenders, robins-egg blue, and canary yellow is something that will work out just perfectly! Not all together of course! You can choose one or two of those shades and pair them with white and creams to have traditionally appropriate spring hues. However, since you are using pastels, you can also play with patterns and go for polka dots, vintage floral patterns, and playful stripes and your wedding theme will still manage to come out looking stunning 

Start strong: Invitations are a good point to start for an Easter wedding and it will be an easy decision to fall into. You'll soon discover that decorating for an Easter wedding isn't difficult, in fact, it is as easy as plopping on a large cushion after a tiring day. Since it is already springtime, embracing the pastel seems to come as easy as second nature! Because Easter occurs in the spring, it's great to use spring colors in conjunction with floral and Easter patterns. For wedding invites, pastel tones of mint green, robin egg blue, lemony yellow, and delicate peach work well. Lettering your wedding invites in gold would add elegance and a particular touch.

Table decorations: Make your dinner table decorations match your invites and theme by using spring hues like pastel blues, pastel pinks, minty greens, and gentle lavenders to complement your Easter celebration. Easter eggs are a must-have because they're simple to manufacture and completely personalized. Make colorful Easter eggs and use them to decorate the table numbers. Add beautiful eggs, flowers, and rabbit ornaments to your table settings. Use chocolate bunnies with each guest's name on them as a fast treat before dinner is ready to make your visitors' arrival at their table extra special.

Embrace the floral: You'll discover that decorating for an Easter wedding isn't difficult, especially if you're doing it in the springtime. And with so many natural decorations at disposal, why look someplace else? As you embrace the new growth of greens and blossoming of flowers, a garden wedding is definitely one of the best places for such a celebration. Poppies, sweet peas, gardenias, buttercups, and, of course, roses should all be included. This way, you can also save a substantial amount on the venue decoration budget, as nature brings her own bounty. Put a lot of Easter eggs in between your greenery to add the Easter vibe.

Petting zoo: Set up a whimsical petting zoo for your special day to celebrate the awakening of life in the springtime. This is a fantastic method to keep your younger visitors busy and entertained. A petting zoo, on the other hand, provides fantastic photo opportunities for all of your guests. It's the perfect complement to your Easter wedding, and it's just in time for spring! You can spread a few white bunnies around because, after all, what says “Easter” like that? Adding some llamas to your wedding guest list can give it a quirky feel. This is surely a unique spin on the theme!

The wedding cake: You already know that the wedding cake is a huge part of the wedding theme and decor. Just for one day, a cake is not just a dessert! So pay close attention to the way you dress up your wedding cake. A cluster of mini eggs or two bunnies kissing as a wedding topper can be added to your Easter wedding cake. You can go for something as simple as a single-tiered ombre cake with little eggs and blossoms on top, or something more elaborate like a three-tiered cake with an abundance of moss and spring flower details. 

Go green: If heavy pastels are not your favorite, you can go for greenery, and trust us, there is nothing like too much greenery when it comes to a spring wedding! You can line the middle of your reception tables with moss-like greenery and nuzzle in Easter eggs to commit to the theme. Since the world around us is slowly waking up and sporting green leaves, it is only fitting that you add greenery to your wedding details. You can add woodsy whimsy to the greenery by sprinkling fake butterflies and strategically placing birds' nests with eggs. It will be so adorable and enchanting, without being obviously pastel! 

Wedding favors: Yes, wedding favors are very much part of the wedding decor, as it essentially adds to the wedding theme as they sit pretty for the guests to pick and take home. Use your imagination! Save your guests the Easter hunt by giving them miniature mason jars filled with creme-filled chocolate eggs or chocolate bunnies as wedding favors. You can also prepare egg-shaped cookies with royal icing, or order macarons in a spring color palette for wedding favors to make it a little more memorable. If you want to go more elegant, Easter egg macarons are also a good choice. These delightfully delicate delicacies will add a distinctive touch to your wedding favors.

Wellington boots: Spring naturally gives way to certain special touches and wellington boots are certainly one of them! We adore the notion of incorporating a wellington boot into your wedding decor. This is especially entertaining if you're organizing an Easter egg hunt on your wedding venue's grounds. Fill a pair of wellington boots with a variety of wonderful spring blooms, and you'll have a lovely display. You can use them as part of your wedding venue's entry, table centerpieces, or as an accent piece on your welcome table!

Birdcage details: Birdcages are practical and adaptable decorations that are ideal for adding interest to your wedding. Fill them with flowers, candles, or even cake and use them to carry cards. Because spring is such a mild and earthy season, having artificial birds in those cages can provide a charming and whimsical touch to the wedding day. Birdcages draped with moss and decorated with twin love birds in pastel or white colors may provide such a sweet touch to an easter-themed wedding.

Easter welcome table: If you don't want your whole wedding ambiance to be easter-themed, you can contain that to the welcome table. This is where the guests first approach and take in the wedding, but it's not in the way of the real wedding rituals. You can dress up your wedding welcome table with moss, Easter bunnies, eggs, and other such whimsical elements. It is an understated yet undeniable way of making the Easter presence felt. Also, it is the perfect launchpad to start off any wedding theme, so needless to say it is a good place to start.

Woodland paradise: While we already spoke about having a petting zoo at your wedding, there can be a little more subtle way to add animal and woodland touches to your wedding. This is perfect if you are hosting a rustic spring wedding. Whether it is little deer cake toppers and vines around the cake, or it is choosing a wedding venue that truly commits to the woodland paradise vibe. Your bridal bouquet can be endearingly unkempt and there can be scattered rustic elements like wooden ring holders, animal-themed decorations, and floral logs as centerpieces! While it is not Easter, it is everything that spring represents and it is a fresh breath of air from the usual Easter decorations!

Sweet and drink table: As you might already know, the sweet table is a beautiful way of establishing the theme, especially when it comes to Easter! Think cute egg-shaped candies with adorable notes in them. Pastel macaroons, and cupcakes with bunny details on them. We already talked about what all we can do with the wedding cake, but there is much we can do with the wedding dessert table too. Have you thought about having individual nest-shaped Easter baskets filled with Easter candies for your guests? As for drinks, you can include aesthetic pastel drinks which are quite on-theme, like bunny mary or a refreshing boozy basil lemonade, adorned with stirrers with fun bunny details! 

Carrot details: Another rustic and obvious way of incorporating Easter details into your wedding day is with carrots! You will be surprised how they can make a cornet instantly spring-ready. Whether it is arranged in a bunch in the welcome table, or it is a part of the wedding reception centerpiece, whether it is a part of the catering display, or it is used as one of the elements in the dessert table, you can't go wrong with carrots in spring! They can also be fun decorations if piled into galvanized metal jars for a rustic spring wedding.

Easter may be whatever you want it to be. It might be as lighthearted as chocolate eggs and beautiful bunnies or as serious as your religious beliefs. As we covered previously, there are many Easter ideas you may incorporate into your wedding to commemorate your union. It's also a fantastic time to be married! The weather is perfect, and spring flowers are in bloom. This coming spring, in conjunction with this great celebration of life, will be an ideal moment for you to commemorate your union as a sign of a new life together.
