Easter Wedding Theme Inspiration

Are you getting married this Easter? The long bank holiday weekend is a great time to host your wedding, as it means you can extend your celebrations over several days. There's also tonnes of gorgeous wedding ideas to fit in with an Easter wedding theme. You can harness the mood of fresh starts and new beginnings, give eggs for wedding favours, and fill your wedding venue with beautiful spring flowers - daffodils and tulips are seasonal, cheap and cheerful. Here are just a few of my favourite wedding ideas, tonnes more on my Pinterest page, including some fab rabbit origami tutorials.

Real Vintage Hollywood Swiss Wedding: Kate & Lucas

For some brides, the frothy feminine style of a traditional wedding leaves them cold. Instead they choose a sophisticated theme for their wedding day, with maybe a short, chic wedding dress, and an urban venue. Gorgeous bride, Kate, plumped for the latter, picking a modern look for her wedding day, with a lovely layer of vintage glamour. Her lace covered wedding dress is the Zarita from Diane von Fuerstenberg, and works perfectly with her birdcage veil and red lipstick. Her sunshine yellow shoes perfectly match her colourful bouquet, creating a very 'put together' look - the type I can only dream of recreating! Lukas and Kate chose the Zurich Courthouse in Switzerland for their wedding venue, and hosted their reception in stylish cafe, with the lovely Andrea Kuehnis on hand to take their wedding pictures. Don't you love their style?

A Marie Antoinette Inspired Balloon Wedding Shoot - Part 2

The balloon shots from this wedding shoot were so fabulous, they deserve a blog post of their own! Shot and styled by the fantastic team at Synergy Styling and Photography, on location at the The Deer Park Country House Hotel, these pictures are the perfect inspiration for your wedding portrait photographs. It's often difficult to relax in front of the camera on your wedding day, and fun photo props can help bring out the real you, having a good time! You could easily ask friends to organise this simple and budget-friendly idea at your own wedding venue, choosing a balloon colour that fits in with your wedding theme. For more inspiration on how to use balloons at your wedding, check out my Pinterest page.

A Marie Antoinette Inspired Tea-Party Wedding Shoot

Take one beautiful venue, add a Marie Antoinette theme and a rather delicious tea-party, and you've got one seriously fabulous wedding shoot. You can't fail to feel inspired by these fun images, styled and shot by Synergy Styling and Photography. I've fallen for the bride's Marie Antoinette hair-style, her flirty pink parsol and divine Charlotte Balbier gown. Even the groom looks handsome enough to eat - in dapper black tie. Menswear in the UK tends to favour morning suits, but I'm a huge fan of the US fashion for men to wear black tie at evening weddings - definitely an export worth considering for your own big day. With bunting, a cake stand, vintage china and tea-party themed wedding favours, this is one wedding theme you could easily imitate without breaking the bank. Hire vintage china, or start collecting from car-boot sales and charity shops now! Huge thanks to Venetia Norrington, from Firetopp Photography for her beautiful pictures.

Dreamy Rustic Green Tomatoes & Lace Wedding Shoot

When I stumbled across this stunning wedding shoot on photographer Stephanie Williams' site, This Modern Romance, I begged her to let me feature it on my wedding blog. Luckily she acquiesed, meaning you too can enjoy the combination of two of my favourite wedding vendors in the world; Temperley London and MaeMae Paperie. Throw in the fabulous US stylists Jen Campbell and Carissa Jones plus hair pieces from Lo Boheme and you've got some seriously dreamy wedding inspiration. My favourite stealworthy wedding ideas include the ribbon alter (seriously easy to DIY), the combination of white linen and rustic wood, the cotton balls in the table arrangements and the cool grey striped straws. Plenty more inspiration from Stephanie Williams here.
