For people around the world, Easter represents a time of new life and new beginnings, making it the ideal occasion for many couples to take the plunge down the aisle. From chocolate to churches and everything between; we share our top five tips for planning your perfect Easter wedding.

1. Eggs-cellent
   
   One of the best parts about an Easter wedding is of course, Easter eggs! You can incorporate these tasty and aesthetically-pleasing treats into almost all elements of your Easter nuptials including: table centrepieces, floral arrangements, guest favours or dessert bars. Combine Easter eggs and wedding cake for a truly show-stopping feature.
   
   
2. A pastel palette
   
   The pastel hues of an Easter celebration lend themselves beautifully to a wedding colour scheme, from the bridesmaids' dresses to the bonbonnieres. Mint greens, dusky pinks, lemon yellows and hazy oranges combine to form a picturesque backdrop for a vintage or garden

Incorporate customised Easter details including an Easter Bunny printed wooden decoration or Easter egg printed wooden sign into your décor for charming and personal touches to your Easter wedding event.

3. Holiday celebrations
   
   A major bonus of Easter nuptials is the fact that it falls on a holiday weekend, meaning you can create an entire itinerary of wedding fun - or just enjoy an extended recovery period. If guests are travelling it is ideal, as they can spend a longer time at the destination and don't have to take as much time off work to attend.

But beware to book your venues well in advance, as Easter is a traditionally busy time across the hospitality sector, and be aware that prices for venues and guest accommodation may go up to cover holiday costs. Also, be sure to send your Save-The-Datesout super early, as the Easter holiday period is a popular time to plan a getaway.

4. Chocolate, chocolate (and more chocolate!)

Did we mention chocolate?! Succumb to the decadence and hedonism an Easter celebration entails, by weaving chocolate throughout your festivities. Think double-mud wedding cake, chocolate dipped strawberries for dessert, creamy chocolate liqueurs, or personalised chocolate bars for guest favours. When it comes to chocolate: too much is never enough.

5. Restrictions

While the highlights of an Easter wedding are numerous, make sure you are also informed about the restrictions. Easter is an exceptionally busy time for many churches and priests and some religions don't allow weddings during this period. If you've got your heart set on a church wedding, best to do your research or plan another date. If a large number of your guests are religious, you may also need to consider whether they are planning on attending traditional services and how this impacts on your celebrations.
