If you're a free-spirit and a lover of blooming flowers, fresh air and all things bright and beautiful, then spring may be the perfect time to tie the knot with your significant other. With spring upon us, many brides-to-be are eager to shed some light on the winter blues, so here we'll introduce you to some fresh and fabulous ways to celebrate your spring wedding.

Before you start envisioning a romantic vineyard affair or an elegant barn wedding draped with twinkle lights, here are a few things to keep in mind: with spring being a popular season for couples to marry, you might want to start planning your big day early. While they say that April showers bring May flowers, spring's unpredictable weather can surprise you. When visiting potential venues, be sure to inquire about what past wedding parties have done as a rain plan (and if you're set on having an outdoor shindig consider reserving a just-in-case tent). Also, having some umbrellas and fancy rain boots available can combat the effects of a rainy day! Finally, it's never a bad idea to take advantage of what spring has to offer - let the season's best offerings, from flowers such as peonies and tulips, to fresh ingredients such as baby carrots and sweet cherries, inspire your planning process.

To help with your spring affair, we've put together a list of 25 ideas that will have you truly inspired.
