The most traditional style for spring weddings is very feminine,
full of lace, pastel colors, and fluffy flowers. If that does not appeal
to your sense of style, you may well find yourself wondering if it is
possible to plan a chic spring wedding without all the ruffles and
pastels. The answer is yes; these are some fantastic options for clean
and modern spring wedding design.

A black and white theme looks
fresh and contemporary for a spring wedding. Start with one of Vera
Wang's modern deconstructed white organza bridal gowns with black ribbon
accents (or something similar in whatever your price range happens to
be). Accessorize the wedding dress with jet crystal bridal jewelry, or
with custom white pearl and black crystal bridal jewelry. Instead of a
tiara, wear a cluster of black and white feathers in your hair and a
long plain veil.

Tulips
are one of the most popular flowers for spring weddings, and they can
be used very effectively in an updated style. For a clean and
contemporary use of the spring classic, use a bunch of tulips in a
submerged flower centerpiece. Simply take a bunch of tulips in your
favorite color and plunge them underwater in a very tall clear cylinder.
Bold colors like hot pink or red will yield the most dramatic results.

An
Asian inspired theme can work very well for a modern wedding design.
Select a wedding gown with an origami flair created from a crisp fabric
like silk gazar or mikado. A strapless or one shoulder dress with a
column silhouette accented with modern folding and pleating is both
contemporary and unique. You can combine an East-meets-West theme
beautifully with the spring season by using cherry blossoms as your
central motif.

Both an iconic spring bloom and a very important flower
in Asian cultures, the graceful lines of the dark cherry branches
surrounded by the ethereal pale pink clouds of blossoms are simply
exquisite. Use cherry blossom branches to create striking architectural
centerpieces and as the motif on your wedding cake.

A final idea
for a modern spring wedding is to use a spring color with a modern
twist. Why not be bold and wear a wedding gown in a pale lettuce green
like Vera Wang's frothy concoction? It is light and springy in color,
yet the idea of a non-white wedding gown is as modern as it gets. Pair
the colored wedding dress with bridesmaid dresses in a pale cashmere
white shade of chiffon for a bridal party that will be very gracious,
yet completely updated.
