The calendar says that spring is here. I think it's lying to me. But in anticipation of the most glorious of all seasons, I have put together a couple of collages that showcase some of the best that spring has to offer. However, what is "springy" to one may not be to another, so I chose two distinctly different looks. The inspiration for both sets came from the invitations. Stationery is a great place to start your wedding plans since Save-the-Dates or invites are usually your guests' first peek at your event.
The strawberry-and-chartreuse color scheme here gives a spring wedding lots of punch. It's more subdued (I use this word loosely) than the fuchsia-and-lime that is so popular for summer weddings. The focus here is on the colors, so the details should be small and textural. Cymbidiums pack a lot of "wow" factor in a single bloom and are paired here with ranunculus. Cluster them together in small cylinders or cubes for pops of color on every surface. I love the headband for a flower girl; it's much more clean and modern than a floral head wreath. Use the mini-pinwheel clips to hang place-cards; attach a magnet to the back and they can double as favors. The screen-printed ties make a great gift for the guys and the company offers wedding party discounts. Keep the girls' look simple with a flowy dress and uncluttered jewelry.
Stay tuned for my second inspiration board for a more sophisticated take on spring.
