How To Host An Easter Wedding Without The Bunnies

03-27-23

“It is spring again. The earth is like a child that knows poems by heart, ” said Rainer Maria Rilke, a renowned Austrian poet, and we can't help but feel it is the most endearing thing we have heard in a while. Spring comes and the world sings in perfect harmony. The grass sprouts new shiny lush leaves, the flower buds open up shyly, the breeze blows seductively and the sun shines brightly, putting the snow days firmly behind. While the world awakens from the winter slumber, we see love stories springing up in new grass! We see engagements, wedding announcements, and also weddings that make an appearance in spring, right as the first warm day hits the ground. Speaking of spring weddings, it is a true joy being able to host a wedding when the world around you is at its freshest and the most beautiful self!

 

There are a plethora of parks, gardens, and green golf courses waiting for you to be expired for your wedding setting, there are blue glittering water lines, there are flowers in abundance, and comfortable good weather, all of which come together to create a wedding day which is magical and aesthetically delightful. While nature does her part, another cool thing about spring weddings is that it arrives just in time for the most amazing festival Easter! There is something about an Easter wedding that can feel incredibly refreshing. Speaking of Easter weddings, carrots, and bunnies usually pop into our mind, which is why today we are here to bring to you some easter wedding touches which are more subtle and do not contain any obvious easter elements.

 

But before we get into that, let's talk about some of the main elements to keep in mind while planning an easter wedding.

 

Primary Elements of an Easter Wedding!

 

The venue The perfect setting for an easter wedding is just as important as the other elements itself. When it comes to Easter weddings, it is best to go for an outdoor setting. While blooming gardens and picturesque greenery work the best, you can also go for a more woodland paradise setting if that's more your vibe!

 

The theme Discuss your theme with your partner and decide on it early on so that you can start planning your dream wedding. Having the desired vibes of the wedding decor clearly marked always helps, even whether it's an Easter wedding. You will be surprised to know that there are many different ways you can go, even within the easter wedding theme. Are you hosting an exquisite or rustic Easter wedding? Are you more drawn to nature, or is your decor primarily pastel? Before implementing your decision on your wedding day, make sure it is clear in your head first! Once the concept is established, you are well on your way to organizing the finer components of your wedding decor.

 

The colors Easter enters the world of color with soft and subtle steps, using just the palest tones from the palette of nature. It will therefore be ideal to use pastel pinks, lavenders, robin's-egg blue, and canary yellow tones, depending on the tones which you find the best fit for your wedding day. To have a widely acceptable spring color palette, pick one or two of those hues and combine them with white and cream. However, if you are using pastels, you can also experiment with patterns like stripes, polka dots, and vintage floral designs, to make your wedding theme look even more gorgeous.

 

The outfits Lean into the adorable and playful look when it comes to attire and choose feminine design gowns and gorgeous pastels. Your wedding party outfits have a huge role to play when it comes to Easter weddings. With traditional bridal color maintained, accessories are a terrific way to add a pop of color to your special day. Your bridesmaids would look lovely clad in stylish vintage tea-party dresses or in mismatched pastel color bridesmaid dresses. Pastel colors with a hint of yellow, blue, pink, or green in the pocket square and tie are a great option for your groom and groomsmen.

 

 

Easter Wedding Ideas to Incorporate

 

Easter florals Considering that Easter has always been about rebirth and resurrection, your theme will work well if you use a lot of natural elements, especially flowers. Instead of simple green leaves, aim for enormous blossoms and vibrant colors when it comes to flowers. You'll discover that getting ready for an Easter wedding is really not that difficult. Why look elsewhere when you can decorate with organic materials? One of the best locations for such a celebration is unquestionably a garden wedding, where you can enjoy the new growth of vegetation and the blooming of flowers. Include gardenias, buttercups, poppies, sweet peas, and, of course, roses. You can also save a large amount on the venue décor budget in this approach, as nature supplies its own plenty. Add some Easter eggs to your plants to give them a festive atmosphere.

 

Use baskets Whether you're organizing a classic or rustic wedding, a variety of baskets can go in with your main theme and add a little Easter flair. A larger, vintage basket filled with baby's breath might be used as a table centerpiece for a rustic wedding. Offer your flower girls the option of carrying baskets filled with colorful blooms and streamers to uphold tradition. Enjoy yourselves with baskets as well. Don't be afraid to experiment with multiple layouts and styles in order to find the one that best suits your event. You can also use rattan or woven details for your baskets for a natural vibe!

 

Easter decor By matching your dinner table decorations to your invitations and theme, you may complement your Easter celebration with spring colors like pastel blues, minty greens, pastel pinks, and gentle lavenders. Easter eggs are a must because they are simple to produce and can be completely customized to add a touch of Easter to your wedding. To decorate table numbers, create colorful Easter eggs. Set a beautiful tablescape complete with flowers, bunnies, and eggs. Use personalized chocolate bunnies with each guest's name on them as a small treat before dinner is served to make your guests' arrival at their table extra special.

 

Easter egg name tags A wonderful approach to include a little of Easter into your wedding is to replace the names at assigned seats with eggs that have names written on them. While waiting for the reception to start, visitors can play the egg-cracking game, which will not only tie in with the theme but also be fun. Depending on your easter theme, you can have pastel-colored eggs or natural eggs in tiny bird nests!

 

 

 

Desserts We all anticipate a little Easter chocolate, let's face it. If eating chocolate dessert while wearing a white dress makes you uncomfortable, choosing a dessert bar as opposed to a standard chocolate bar is a great approach to maintain the theme. A jar of eggs will look gorgeous and still have a hint of Easter if there are some macarons in pastel colors on display. Even putting hot cross buns on display will give the room a small Easter flair. People can gather together to celebrate Easter's family-oriented theme during a dessert buffet.

 

The wedding cake You probably already know how significant the wedding cake is to the overall theme and aesthetic of the event. A cake is more than just a one-day delight! So, to add an Easter touch to your celebration, pay close attention to how your wedding cake is designed. A group of little eggs could serve as the wedding topper on your Easter wedding cake. A three-tiered cake with lots of moss and spring flower decorations is an alternative to the standard single-tiered ombre cake with small eggs and blooms on top.

 

Go green If muted pastels are not your style, you can choose greenery instead. When it comes to a spring wedding, there is no such thing as too much greenery, so trust us on this one! To fully embrace the idea, fill the middle of your reception tables with flora that resembles moss and is nestled in Easter eggs. It makes sense to use greenery in your wedding decorations because the world is gradually waking up and sprouting green leaves. By scattering imitation butterflies among the vegetation and adding bird nests with eggs in strategic locations, you may give a touch of woodland whimsy. It won't be overtly pastel, but it will be so cute and magical!

 

Wedding favors: Wedding favors do make up a significant portion of the wedding decor because they effectively reinforce the wedding theme as they are displayed well for guests to choose and take home. Think creatively! Give little mason jars filled with chocolate eggs as wedding favors to spare your guests the Easter search. To make the wedding treats a little more special, you could also make egg-shaped biscuits with royal icing or get macarons in a spring color scheme. Easter egg macarons are another excellent option if you want to go a more upscale route. These delightfully delicate treats will give your wedding presents a unique flair.

 

Birdcage details Birdcages are versatile and useful bridal decorations that are perfect for adding interest. Use them to hold cards and fill them with flowers, candles, or even cake. Artificial birds in those cages can add a pleasant and whimsical touch to the wedding day because spring is such a gentle and earthy season. An Easter-themed wedding can benefit from using birdcages wrapped in moss and adorned with twin love birds in pastel or white colors.

 

Easter welcome table You can limit the Easter additions to the welcome table if you don't want it to permeate the entire wedding atmosphere. Although it is not in the way of the actual wedding rites, this is where the guests first arrive and see the wedding. Some traditional easter accents can be used to adorn the welcome table at your wedding. It is a subtle but inescapable approach to convey the Easter spirit. It goes without saying that it is a terrific place to start because it is also the ideal starting point for every wedding theme.

 

Woodland paradise While having a petting zoo at your wedding is very much an option, there are other, more subdued ways to incorporate animals and the outdoors into your wedding. If you're planning a rustic spring wedding, this is ideal. Whether it's picking a wedding venue that genuinely embraces the woodland paradise theme, or small deer cake toppers and vines surrounding the cake. You can have rustic decorations like wooden ring holders, animal-themed decorations, and flower logs as centerpieces as well as an endearingly messy bridal bouquet! Despite it being Easter, it embodies all that springtime stands for and is a welcome change from the typical Easter décor!

 

Dessert and drink table  As you may already be aware, the sweet table is a lovely way to set the tone, particularly for Easter! Think of sweet candies in the shape of eggs that have sweet overtones. Pastel macaroons and easter-themed cupcakes are also great ideas. There are many things we can do with the wedding dessert table in addition to what we just discussed with the wedding cake. Have you considered providing your guests with personalized Easter baskets in the form of nests packed with candy? Drinks that fit the theme can also be a clever way to infuse the theme. Iridescent pastel-colored drinks can be the perfect way to add an element of fun and color to the wedding day.

 

As unconventional as it may seem, Easter weddings can in fact be hosted without any bunny and carrot elements, as suggested in the blog above. All you need to do is take the primary easter elements and incorporate them into your wedding day to add a soft spring vibe, without going overboard. For instance, to make an easter wedding more “you”, you can incorporate pastel hues, floral details, and greenery in a sneaky way to bring spring to your wedding day without compromising on your chosen wedding theme! We hope the ideas highlighted in this blog help bring some of the ideas to the forefront.
