Sweet Summer Weddings

Summer is the most popular season for weddings. Sunny days and warm temperatures are perfect ingredients for a beautiful wedding day. Summer theme weddings are not only fun for the bride and groom, but guests can also have a blast. To truly capture the season, summer theme weddings should lean on the more casual side. Summer is a time where women wear dresses without pantyhose and men can forgo suit coats, and a summer theme wedding should agree in style and décor.

Summer is a great season for an evening wedding. An outdoor evening wedding is even better for those riskier brides. Outdoor evening weddings work in the summer season because the temperature is still pleasant after the sun goes down. Actually, summer weddings are more enjoyable as a whole when they are in late afternoon or evening due to hot temperatures. An outdoor evening wedding with a summer theme can be beautifully created using massive amounts of candles. Imagine the bride and groom surrounded only by the light of candles. This can be one of the most romantic wedding settings possible.

Color possibilities for a summer wedding are endless. Bright colors of fuchsia, orange, and yellow can work together beautifully for a summer theme wedding. When using bright colors it is best to use them as accent points. However, it is difficult to overdo color in a summer theme wedding.

Simple dresses look best for summer theme weddings. Brides should consider straight lined dresses with simple detail. Short dresses are also a popular option for summer. Many brides tend to drift toward non-traditional dresses for this theme and choose a non-white dress or a white dress with bright flower accents.

Flowers should be included in enormous amounts for a summer theme wedding. The season is full of flowers in full bloom and weddings of this theme should copy that look. Flowers of any kind are appropriate for a summer theme wedding. Favorite flowers of summer theme weddings include daisies, roses, and lilies. Bouquets can be simple or extravagant, however arrangements should have a large presence.

A fun way to expand on a summer theme wedding is to have a sub-theme reception. A ladybug or dragonfly theme reception works well with a summer theme wedding. Brides can highlight the sub-theme in the wedding cake and reception decorations. A great summer theme decoration is the goldfish centerpiece. Brides can purchase inexpensive fish bowls from a craft store and tie decorative ribbon around the rim. Then they can fill the bottom with beautiful aquarium marbles and a goldfish. At the end of the night guests can take the entire decoration home if they wish. Another extravagant addition to a summer theme reception is a champagne fountain.

Summer theme weddings are both romantic and fun. To capture the season, brides should go for simple decorations and create a casual effect. For a summer theme wedding, brides have the option of choosing day, night, indoor, or outdoor weddings. Whatever the chosen option, brides should use bright colors and an abundance of flowers to create a beautiful summer celebration.
