Think bright colors, refreshing cocktails, and partying under the stars. Summer weddings open up a lot of possibilities when it comes to venues, colors, drinks, dresses and so much more! You are likelier to have better weather for an outdoor wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Your summer evening wedding feast will delight your guests as they celebrate with the warmth of these glorious, sun-drenched tones. Take full advantage of the summer season and decorate your soirée to match.
Airy Dresses
You and your entourage will be on your feet running around all day being ushered from one place to another. Don’t torture yourself and your girls even more with long gowns made of heavy fabric. Sweating is inevitable but doesn’t turn your dresses into portable saunas! Opt for light and airy fabrics, shorter cuts, and light pastel shades for your gowns.
Fan-cy Giveaways
Although it’s a soiree, there’s a high chance that it will be hot and humid. If you haven’t settled on a wedding souvenir just yet, consider locally-made fans! You can never go wrong with a simple foldable cloth fan Consider giving out your souvenirs like parasols, sunglasses and hats early on in the ceremony. Your guests will appreciate this literal breath of fresh air.
Don’t Forget the Refreshments!
It’s the dog days of summer. Is there anything better than enjoying a refreshing summer cocktail out on a patio? To make it a bit more fun and refreshing for your guests, add some cold drinks! Iced coffee is always welcome, of course. But, seeing as it is a summer soiree, why not spice things up with some ice-cold fruity punches like boozy Arnold Palmer, Raspberry-spiked lemonade, sangria and mixed berry mojito?
Lush, Languorous and So Very Seasonal
Fewer things scream summer more than a pink, orange, and citrus color palette, which makes these centerpieces particularly seasonal. This saturated colorscape of fiery reds, oranges, and yellows plus verdant greens was just as fitting for the time of year. Sliced fruit also nods to summer.
Tents
Tents are always a good idea for summer weddings. They offer a plethora of playful design options for any outdoor wedding space. Whether white, clear, or colorful, these resilient structures make for a stylish addition to your cocktail hour, outdoor ceremony, or al fresco reception. An assortment of whimsical décor, creative lighting, and custom flooring will help distinguish your wedding canopy or tent from the rest.
