Spring Civil Ceremonies: Flowers are usually a theme that's focused on when it comes to Civil Ceremonies in the spring. Daffodils, crocuses, hyacinths, lilies, and tulips are some of the favourite flowers chosen by brides. Any one of these can be used to plan a theme Civil Ceremony around.
If the weather where you live tends to be mild and sunny, consider having a Victorian Garden Civil Ceremony outdoors, or perhaps have a small intimate ceremony in a butterfly enclosure. Another option is to focus your spring Civil Ceremony ideas on flowering bushes and trees such as lilacs, apple, orange and/or cherry blossoms.
Pastel colours are what's most appropriate for spring Civil Ceremonies. Think pale yellows, pinks, purples, blues, and greens. Pair two or more shades together - pink and green or purple and yellow for example, to create a colour Civil Ceremony theme.
You can also take one of these shades and match it with an earth tone colour such as chocolate brown, terra cotta, or beige. The main rule of thumb is to stay away from dark, rich colours such as royal blue, dark green, deep burgundy, and other such shades, which are more suitable for late fall and winter Civil Ceremonies. Remember to keep your Civil Ceremony colours light and airy to reflect the renewal of spring.

Summer Civil Ceremonies: Bridal magazines, Civil Ceremony planning guides, and Internet resources can provide you with a ton of ideas for planning a summer Civil Ceremony. From flowers to colours to outdoor suggestions, you won't be at a loss for creative themes.
Most Civil Ceremony gown manufacturers design their dresses to be worn during the warm months of spring and summer, so your dress options are in the greatest supply at this time. Beach Civil Ceremonies are extremely popular, along with tropical themes, and destination Civil Ceremonies.
Since the season is so popular for brides and grooms, services are in high demand. In order to get what you want, shopping and booking early is very important.
When it comes to bridal bouquets and flower arrangements, you're in luck. This is the time of year when a huge variety of flowers are available. The most popular choices include roses, daisies, foxglove, hyacinth, bachelor buttons, geraniums, hollyhock, tiger lilies, poppies, carnations, sunflowers, calla lilies, and pansies.
Keep your guests in mind when planning your reception. Summer, being what it is, can range from a warm, sunny, mild day; or develop a blistering heat wave; or provide a never ending torrent of rain. You need to be prepared and should choose a location where shelter (and air conditioning) is available, if possible.
In the end, just remember that summer Civil Ceremony ideas offer you a freshness reflecting the season, lots of sunshine, and happiness. Enjoy your perfect day to the fullest.

Autumn Civil Ceremonies will most often feature the colours of the season, such as light greens, faded yellows, burnt oranges, burgundy reds, and chocolate browns. In fact, pairing these colours (as well as blue, pink, terra cotta, ivory, plum, and white) with various shades of brown can make a stunning and elegant Civil Ceremony theme combination.
Your decor will most likely highlight these colours, along with using the symbols reminiscent of fall: leaves, pumpkins and gourds, wheat stalks, Indian corn, acorns, etc. In fact, if you're coming up short on unique ideas for your fall Civil Ceremony theme, just select an autumn item and plan your Civil Ceremony around it.
For example, use the colours found in Indian corn as your Civil Ceremony accents, while using the corn itself to inspire favour box colours, favour tag shapes, table centrepiece arrangements, and more.

You could choose your Winter Civil Ceremony flowers as your main theme, using the flower type and colour as your inspiration for decorations, centrepieces, favours, cake style, and Civil Ceremony attire. You can also opt to focus your Civil Ceremony theme upon the colours of winter. And don't worry, you needn't settle for red and green! Think clear crystal, pure white, ice blue, midnight blue, teal green, ruby reds, burgundy, gold, silver, and finally - jewels tones of ruby, sapphire, emerald, and purple.
To make your reception decor "pop" add twinkle lights to bare branch trees, framing doorways, and along the bar. For an even more dramatic affect, tack ribbon streams of midnight blue tulle netting or gossamer from the centre of the ceiling out to the corners of the room, then drape twinkle lights within the material. (Note: make sure the lights aren't sitting on the material, but are suspended up a bit - or use "cool" lights, so there won't be a chance of fire.) You can wrap columns and banisters in the same way.
Below, you will find several articles featuring ideas to help you plan the winter theme Civil Ceremony of your dreams. Enjoy!
