The Illinois State Fairgrounds was the perfect backdrop for this amazing couple who both grew up in the farming and cattle industry.  After meeting for the first time at a concert, the spark was lit and they began seeing each other.  As they say, the rest is history.  They had a beautiful ceremony at the Artisans building and their reception was as the Exposition building in Springfield, Illinois.  It is obvious that theirs is a love for a lifetime!

Christian weddings are more or less traditional, but much depends on the congregation and couple’s wishes. Plus, there are numerous different denominations of Christians, with varying belief systems.

However, what all Christian weddings have in common is including readings from the Bible, though it’s up to you which passages they will be and if they’re sung or recited.

Need vendors for your christian wedding? These pros specialize in this style.

Faith is an extremely important thing to many, and when it comes time to begin your life as a married couple, it is only natural that many couples wish to express their love in a way which corresponds with their belief system. 

Christian weddings are often held in the church that the couple attends. Similarly, it’s common for the couple’s pastor to perform the ceremony, with possible involvement and assistance from other church members.

A spring wedding can be held anywhere, though you will want a venue that has an option for an indoor ceremony, unless you plan on renting a tent in case of inclement weather. When thinking of décor, take advantage of all the gorgeous flowers in bloom like peonies, cherry blossoms, tulips or daffodils. 

We love the idea of providings guests with a fun umbrella or parasol in case of rain.

Need vendors for your spring wedding? These pros specialize in this style.

Spring weddings are those held in the months of March, April and May. When we think spring wedding, we immediately think lush florals and soft pastels like lavender, sky blue, peach and butter yellow. Some popular wedding styles in spring include soft romance, vintage, rustic and whimsical weddings.

If you are leaning toward a spring wedding, you're in luck because it's not nearly as popular a season for weddings as summer and fall. You're much more likely to get lower prices on your venue and other wedding vendors. However, because the weather can be unpredictable, no matter where you end up getting married, you'll definitely want to have a backup plan if you're thinking of having an outdoor ceremony. 

These wedding videos will give you the inspiration for all your spring wedding, plus the vendors and brands who can make them happen.
