Spring Trends For Your Arizona Wedding
Color Palette: Soft Pastels Rooted in Neutrals
Undoubtedly one of the best things about Spring is the resurgence of color. As the drab days of winter finally retreat, the return of color is a truly welcome sight. Consider adding pops of Spring color to your event. If you haven’t selected your colors for your wedding yet, consider highlighting spring colors on your big day.
We like the juxtaposition of soft pastels with ruddy neutrals. Think soft pastels like pale blue, lavender, or baby pink paired with deep maroons, grays, or deep blues. The mixture of soft and hard create the perfect color pairing. If you’ve already selected your wedding colors, consider sprinkling soft spring colors throughout the event to add unexpected visual elements.
Highlight Spring Traditions In Your Event
One of the biggest trends for events in 2017 is personalization. Couples want to make their event feel special and unique to them. They want to create their own spin on traditions and rituals. To play off this trend, try mixing in unique-to-you spring traditions. For example, maybe each Spring you plant flowers. Consider gifting seeds or flowers to your guests to represent your union and the new life you’re starting with your significant other. Or, maybe each Spring you press flower petals. Offer an interactive flower pressing station for guests to create a tangible, item to take home with them and to remember the event by. No matter what spring tradition you decide to incorporate, your guests will love the personalization. They’ll also remember the event for years!
Add Spring Florals to Your Bouquet
Spring flowers are some of the most stunning, gorgeous blooms of the year. Flowers like tulips, peonies, and birds of paradise specifically bloom during spring. These flowers are often popular for weddings because of their unique shapes and colors. Peonies for example are a very full, fluffy flower that’s a wedding favorite. Tulips are known as the epitome of spring. They come in myriad of colors, making them a perfect choice for an event. Birds of paradise flowers are an interesting, modern art-esque flower that adds color, texture, and shape. Consider adding these Spring florals to your bouquets, centerpieces or as other decor.
Highlight Phoenix’s Fantastic Spring Weather
Springtime in Phoenix is perhaps the nicest time of the year. While the rest of the country slowly unthaws from winter, Phoenix enjoys average temperatures in the high 70’s. For couples tying the knot in Phoenix in Spring, the fantastic weather is another reason to be happy with your location selection. Consider adding weather-specific event elements to play off the nice temperatures.
For example, give branded sunscreen or SPF lip balm to guests as a wedding favor. Or consider offering various refreshment stations featuring in-season fruit to add to drinks to keep guests refreshed. We love the idea of incorporating a DIY mimosa bar with fresh fruit.
For weddings outside of the Phoenix area, consider using weather-specific elements based on your location as well. Perhaps offering umbrellas or coat checks, to accommodate changing cooler Spring temperatures in other parts of the country.
