Planning a Perfect Spring Wedding in Idaho: Tips from Sunnyside Farm
March, April and May Weddings in the Boise area
Springtime in Idaho is nothing short of magical, making it one of the most beautiful seasons to say “I do!” At Sunnyside Farm, nestled among the rolling hills and alfalfa fields, spring brings with it blooming flowers, lush greenery, and that perfect mix of warm days and crisp evenings. If you're considering a spring wedding, here are some helpful tips to make the most of this stunning season at our venue—or anywhere in the Gem State.
1. Embrace Idaho’s Natural Beauty
Springtime in Idaho is all about the rebirth of things in the garden. After a long winter, everything starts to come alive. March can still be a little cold and you won’t see much garden color, but April’s warm days really help things along. You will find daffodils, tulips, forsythia, lilacs and several flowering trees. By May, the trees have all leafed out and by the end of the month you will start to see peonies and roses. We love seeing these natural elements from our surrounding landscape incorporated into the couple’s wedding decor. Pastel Tulips and vibrant lilacs not only look stunning, but smell amazing.
2. Prepare for Idaho’s Unpredictable Weather
Spring is a beautiful time in Idaho, but the weather can get crazy. We highly recommend choosing a venue with an indoor facility. We’ve seen some couples chance it and hope to rent a tent if the forecast is looking rainy or windy, but they can be hard to come by when everyone else in the valley is doing the same. We have a large 40x90 barn that works perfectly if the weather doesn’t cooperate. And if the day turns out to be lovely, the perfect set up is ceremony in our lovely garden space and then move to the barn for the reception.
3. Add a Personal Touch with our In-House Decor in Spring Themes and Colors
A spring wedding in Idaho wouldn’t be complete without some personalized touches, and our “Something Borrowed Room” is packed with thousands of décor items at no extra charge! You can create a one-of-a-kind wedding that reflects your style without breaking the bank. From rustic lanterns to elegant table settings, we’ve got everything you need to bring your spring wedding vision to life. We also have an assortment of pastel runners and napkins.
4. Go with Seasonal with Food and Drink
Think of all the things coming to life in the garden in the spring and incorporate those into your seasonal menu. Peas, new potatoes, asparagus, strawberries, etc. Use edible flowers and fruit for garnishes. Imagine sipping on a refreshing strawberry cocktail or a light rosé while soaking in the springtime atmosphere with your loved ones.
5. Better Rates for Spring Dates
Most venues will offer an off-season discounted rate for March weddings and possibly April weddings as well. At Sunnyside Farm we offer March weddings at a $1000s off the normal rate. If you book a weekday, you will pay even less.
We’d love to help you bring your spring wedding dreams to life. Whether you’re looking for that perfect outdoor ceremony spot or a rustic barn reception, Sunnyside Farm has it all. We still have some March and April dates available. Contact us today to schedule a tour and start planning the wedding of your dreams!
