Spring Wedding Reception

There are many ideas for a spring wedding reception. I got married in April, the day before Easter. I had pink Easter baskets set up with peanut M&M's in pastel colors and after dinner mints for guests to snack on.

So if your wedding is near Easter, use seasonal decorations. Instead of Easter baskets, you can use mini crosses adorned with lilies of the valley. This makes a good centerpiece. Or use a crown of thorns adorned with a purple cloth and some lilies. Potted lilies covered with pastel foil also make pretty centerpieces.

For weddings that are not near Easter, think tulips, daffodils and other early spring flowers. Use pastel colors. Baby birds and animals can also be used to decorate.

If you are having an outdoor or a barn wedding, use toy barnyard animals to decorate the tables. Use gingham tablecloths. Place the toy animals around on hay bales. Give guests a hayride. Most will love it, especially if they have never before experienced one.

A spring picnic complete with baskets filled with food is an easy way to cater your reception. Serve sub sandwiches loaded with spring veggies and cold cuts.

Give each guest a mini basket lined with small pieces of gingham to match your wedding colors. Fill the mini basket with homemade candy or packets of flower seeds for favors. Vegetable seed packets make good favors for a spring wedding as well.

If your reception is indoors, use wooden arches and trellises decorated with vines and flowers. Put potted tulips on each table.

Keep the meal light by serving a spring salad with grilled chicken and French bread. Grilled salmon served with salad and strawberries is another great spring wedding reception choice.
