How to plan a spring wedding, according to Pinterest
Starting your new life together in the season of new beginnings? Here are some ideas to get your wedding plans blossoming...
The all-important aspect to every wedding is ambiance. Whether you’re inside or outside, spring is the perfect time to be at one with nature on the day. To say "I do" al fresco under a lakeside weeping willow, look no further than Stanbrook Abbey. Or if you're worried about our British weather letting you down, the Barbican Centre's tropical conservatory is a guaranteed paradise, conveniently located in the City of London.
Once the venue is decided, it's time to get creative. Craft a romantic centrepiece out of flowers and candles; lift the celebrations higher with balloons, bubbles, butterfly decorations and hanging lanterns; share out rose petals in pretty tissue paper cornets, or add an Easter twist by hiding confetti inside colourful eggshells.

From quail egg canapés to succulent lamb salads, there are plenty of ways to embrace Easter in your wedding menu. Refreshing ingredients and plenty of spring greens are ideal for a delicious seasonal meal. For dessert, complement the softness of your colour scheme with an array of melt-in-the-mouth French desserts, from macarons and meringues to decorative profiterole towers.
Infuse a floral theme into the menu by topping your wedding cake with edible flowers, or chilling the champagne in buckets full of petal encrusted ice cubes. If fizz isn't enough, we recommend jazzing it up with delicious Hugo cocktails, flavoured with mint, elderflower and fresh strawberries. For non-alcohol-drinkers, keep the colour flowing with a rainbow palate of healthy juices.

This spring, pastel colours are at the top of our list – especially delicate greens and soft blues. Gorgeous, nymph-like designs by Ghost and Paolo Sebastian will have you looking like a character from a Botticelli painting. For a more traditional look, white floral laces are pretty and perfect for the season. Alternatively, opt for bold and beautiful floral prints by Erdem.
Whatever the colour, coordinate with a bouquet of newly bloomed flowers, from simple daffodils and daisies to bunches of blossom and radiant hydrangeas. A spring wedding lends itself nicely to boho accessories, too. Your flower girls will love donning their flower power garlands, and what wedding is complete without a few hippie cherubs on the guest list?

Keep in style with the girls – match pastel ties with beige trousers, or go all out with a classic blue suit. Ditch the stuffy stiff collars; relax and enjoy the big day in cool linens and retro braces, then complete the look with a seasonal boutonnière.
Finally, don't forget to coordinate with the other guys – subtle touches like themed cufflinks or socks will add endless cool to the proceedings. This goes for pageboys too...
