Essential Spring Wedding Tips

1. Weather-Proof Your Day
While Michigan’s spring weather is typically kind, it’s best to anticipate those unpredictable April or May showers. Cherry Barc Farm offers a full, dry enclosed barn to keep the unkind weather off your guests. Lots of couples opt to provide blankets or stylish wraps for guests if temperatures drop in the evening. This is a great décor item to drape on the backs of chairs or have blankets in a cute, galvanized bin.
​
2. Choose a Seasonal Color Palette
Pastel tones and fresh florals are what everything thinks of for a Spring wedding.  We envision soft pinks, lavender, green, or dusty blue. We recommend complimenting these colors with pops of metallic accents like gold or rose gold in candles or table runners if you’re looking to add some glamour.

 3. Highlight Local Flowers
This is where Cherry Barc Farm outshines so many other venues with their custom floral. Pulling fresh flowers from local flower farm is where all the magic happens.  Let’s talk about your color scheme while keeping with what is in season in Michigan in April & May- tulips, lilacs, roses, greenery, and even dried grasses.  We can work within any budget. 

4. Take Advantage of the Local Food Scene
Lansing’s culinary talent is firmly established in their local restaurants and catering. Incorporate seasonal favorites like asparagus, farm raised brisket, and garden-fresh salads. And to top it all off- a signature drink!  Include a refreshing signature cocktail like lavender lemonade or strawberry mojito with fresh mint.
​
5. Dress Appropriately for the Season & Weather
Spring in Lansing is neither overly warm nor chilly, which makes it ideal for lightweight fabrics. Brides can opt for flowing chiffon or tulle gowns, while grooms can go for lighter suits in gray or pastel shades. Advise your guests to bring layers like shawls or light jackets for an evening reception outdoors.
