Can You Combine Different Seasons of the Year in a Wedding Reception?

Spring

Add the color and beauty of spring flowers to the decor of any wedding reception. Roses of every color are common flowers for brides, but the addition of traditional spring flowers like the calla lily, gerbera daisies, irises and magnolias can be ordered from your local florist and mixed in with your bridal and bridesmaid’s bouquets, reception table centerpieces and church pews to add a touch of spring to any decor.

Summer is characterized by fresh fruits, warmth and time spent at the beach. Bring a taste of summer to your wedding decor by making edible favor bags filled with fresh fruits. Adorn tables with small metal beach pails filled with nuts and fruits. Warmth is not only experienced during those summer months. Reception halls can become warm anytime of the year. Place handmade paper fan favors on the tables to cool down the guests while adding a touch of summer. For a summer-like treat, consider serving ice cream floats for kids at the wedding reception.

The gorgeous colors of fall don’t have to be limited to fall weddings. Bright oranges, reds and golds can be used any time of year for a splash of color at your wedding reception. Bridesmaid’s dresses in the fall colors can be used throughout the year and the colors can be brought in to your reception with balloons, table centerpieces and flowers. Fresh baked pies are a popular fall treat but can be served at any wedding reception. Candles with rich fall scents in fall colors can adorn tables for a romantic glow with a fall feel.

Bright white lights and winter white hues can be used for any wedding, anytime of year. White Christmas lights have become a popular decoration for head tables and backdrops when covered with tulle. The winter whites can be used for the bridal and flower girl gowns. Red is a traditional color and can be added into the mix with red roses in the bouquets, and red bows used as decorations. Icy blues are also popular winter colors that can be used all year. The glow of winter white candles placed throughout the reception will add a romantic glow with a touch of winter warmth.
