Weddings can create a seriously breathtaking experience when you say your vows. Spring is a fantastic time to get married! Since it’s such an ideal season, you might find many “unavailable” days from limo services, reception venues, and even churches. Here’s our guide on executing the perfect spring wedding to ensure no unpleasant surprises on your special day.
What You Need to Know About Spring Weddings
Dates Are Highly Competitive
With schools on spring break, Easter, and Memorial Day Weekend, these months are filled with holidays that could cause hiccups. Spring weddings are popular, so many couples will hustle to get their bookings in. To avoid soaring prices or unavailable services, start booking everything at least 12 months in advance, that’s the only way to easily book transportation, planners, caterers, and venues at affordable prices
Weather Can Be Unpredictable
While spring brings warmth with its arrival, the weather can be incredibly unpredictable in most regions across the United States. If you choose a destination wedding, then that’s a whole different story. Keep a check on the forecast for your big day and have a rainy-day contingency plan in place with transportation options. In case of bad weather, inform your out-of-town guests beforehand so they can plan and pack accordingly.
Food and Florals Are In Season
Budget and choice-wise, having flowers and foods in season is great. Spring’s nice weather brings in beautiful flowers like peonies, succulents, and baby’s breath perfectly blends with the color palette of these months. You’ll have more flexibility with eccentric menu options. Use leafy greens, juicy tomatoes, and ripe fruits to add a touch of uniqueness to your wedding food.
Keep Allergies and Bugs In Mind
Springtime is also when many creepy crawlers and allergens are out and about. Check how much foliage is around your venue to avoid bugs gate-crashing your wedding. Plus, if there are too many insects flying around, it could ruin your photos. Keep some insect repellents, citronella candles, and allergy meds on hand. Doing so can ensure that your guests and you have a comfortable experience at your wedding.
Wedding Transportation Options
You’re already aware of the unpredictable weather, so having your wedding transportation logistics planned well in advance will save you a lot of trouble later. Plus, you can still do it in style even if you want to transport many passengers.
So, here are five luxurious transportation options to choose from for your wedding:
Stretch Limo
Stretch limos are a quintessential choice for wedding cars, especially if the bride and groom want to arrive in style. It’s a timeless classic, and the spaciousness can also transport large groups of people. If you plan on arriving at the reception at the same time as your bridesmaids and groomsmen, you can do that in absolute luxury with 20-passenger stretch limos like a stretched Escalade or Hummer.
Party Buses
As the name suggests, party buses have enough room to transport passengers and have a party on the way. If you want to keep the party going even while on the road, the vibrant interiors of party buses are perfect for socializing, dancing, and having a blast.
Luxury Sedans and SUVs
Mercedes Benz, Volvo, and BMW offer a wide range of luxurious, sleek, and stylish sedans, making the cars perfect for couples who want an awe-inspiring vehicle for their big day. Besides their high-quality, handcrafted interiors, you will have the smoothest drive with ambient lighting in these cars. Similarly, SUVs like the Cadillac Escalade, Lincoln Navigator, Ford Expedition, etc. come with a swag of their own, meaning they’re practical and scream luxury. Along with its ample style, it’s comfortably spacious for more passengers besides the couple.
Luxury Sprinter Vans
Mercedes has not left anything behind with their Sprinter models like the Benz Executive Sprinter Van. It provides plenty of comfort thanks to massive legroom space, wide armrests, storage space, and lots of seating. You can play around with the lighting and set the mood with premium sound systems. Another advantage of sprinter vans is their high roof. Considering the bride and bridesmaids are all decked up in big gowns, the height helps them sit straight and move around comfortably without ruining their attire.
Boat or Yacht Charters
Many couples prepare their entire wedding itinerary for a yacht party; the plan commonly consists of having the official ceremony on the upper or open-air deck while the seated dinner takes place on the main deck, and the reception party gives guests access to the entire boat! Some couples choose yacht charters to host other wedding events, while the main ceremony will take place at a specific venue. Some of these events include bridal showers, bachelor parties, rehearsal dinners, or post-wedding farewell brunches.
