Now that we've put the winter behind us (or so we hope!), it's time to start preparing for all things spring! We all know spring brings a lot to look forward to, and for some of you, it might just bring one of the most important days in your life - your wedding day! For all you lucky girls who are planning to say I do in the next couple of months, it's time to start thinking about what colors you will choose for your flowers, dresses, and decorations. But...choosing a color scheme for your wedding is not always easy; that's why we've collected some of the top color schemes that are sure to make your spring wedding pop:

Pastel Purple, Pink and Blue
Spring doesn't just have to be about bright colors. If you're looking for a bolder look, pair purple and pink with a dash of blue. For this look in a bouquet, mix light purple ageratum and pincushion flowers with pink roses and calla lilies. Don't forget to add blue hydrangea at the bottom!

Aqua and White
A light color scheme for a spring wedding is very traditional. To get the look, design your cake to have aqua color frosting and a white ribbon tied into a bow on top. Your colors can also stand out by using aqua tinted glass to hold candles or by including white place settings with aqua designs.

Lavender and Green
A lavender hue mixed with dark green makes for a striking spring wedding color scheme. To make this color combo come to life, incorporate live, pastel flowers on and around your cake.

Pink, Light Green and White
If you're looking for a girly combo that's not too girly, try including a dash of light green to your pinks and whites. For example, try pairing pink roses, light green hydrangea, and white orchards to create beautiful handheld bouquets.

Olive Green and White
From mint green to olive green, pairing a green hue with white can help create a natural-looking, stunning spring wedding. This color combo is easy to apply to many aspects of your wedding; wrap white pillar candles with green ribbon or pair green bridesmaid dresses with bouquets of white hydrangea.

Peach and Pale Yellow
You don't have to be into pink to use pastels in your spring wedding. Choose peach and pale yellow colors if you're looking for a calming color combo.

Cakes vs. Cupcakes

Are you in the middle of planning the picture perfect wedding? Weddings are one of the most beautiful and exciting events in a lifetime, but for the bride and groom, they could also be one of the most stressful. With a long list of decisions to make, make dessert the easy one! Using cupcakes instead of a cake is becoming increasingly popular in party trends, but how do you know which cream-filled treat is for you? Here are some tips to help make planning your wedding easier.

Cakes:
We all know the cutting of the cake is a long standing tradition of weddings. Choosing a cake allows you to continue the tradition of feeding it to your loved one, saving the top tier for your first anniversary, and of course, cutting it in front of all your guests! Cakes are also often the center of your wedding party, and are typically one of the first things your guests look for when they walk into the reception. Without one, your guests may be asking where your cake is, so choose a cake and give them something to talk about! Lastly, using a cake gives you the opportunity to design it exactly how you want. Every wedding cake is unique to you and your partner's preferences, and what you decide on will be a memory you can share forever.

However, keep in mind that cakes can be pricy and your flavors may be limited, especially depending on how many tiers you have. Additionally, cakes can be easier to ruin, and the last thing you want is for your only dessert to be knocked over when someone gets too close!

Cupcakes:
Including cupcakes in your wedding party has become a great alternative to cakes. If you decide on cupcakes, the flavor possibilities are endless, and you can include more than one to satisfy everyone's taste buds. Since they are individualized, guests are also able to pick their own and at their own convenience, so there is no need to stress about cutting enough slices of cake. Cupcakes are also very easy to make yourself and can be a great project to give to family members who want to help out. And while they may not be as extravagant as a 5 tier cake, you also have the option to design them however you want - there are no limits on creativity! Finally, cupcakes have the potential to be significantly cheaper than a cake, so if you're looking to save money, cupcakes are your best bet!

Don't forget, though, that with cupcakes you will loose the cake cutting tradition. However, you can order a much simpler and smaller cake to be designated as the "cutting cake" in addition to your cupcakes. But, if you do decide to go with cupcakes, remember that they are replacing the highly anticipated wedding cake, so your display has a big role to fill!
