  • Your venue options are more varied in that the weather is still temperate throughout Southern California.  Not too hot, not too cold.
  • More places will be available from which to choose a picture-perfect location.
  • Unlike fall or winter, you can entertain the thought of having the wedding and reception outdoors and in a garden.
  • There are not as many conflicting holidays or vacations as in the winter or summer months.
  • Many “In-season flowers” from which to incorporate in your wedding, bridal bouquets, and reception. Branches of cherry blossoms can make a dramatic spring statement.
  • The flower girls can wear fresh spring floral crowns or have flowers in their hair.
  • Bridesmaids can wear gorgeous pastel colors.
  • Your menu can include new potatoes, asparagus, sugar snap peas, baby carrots, strawberries, and apricots.
  • You can serve a “naked” wedding cake adorned with fresh flowers.
  • Your getaway car can be a convertible.
  • And most importantly, Spring is about rebirth and renewal; a great time to start a life as a married couple.
