Your Summer Themed Wedding

The summer months are often the busiest time for couples to get married. Generally you have a wider choice of venues, flowers and foods. If you decide to embrace the summer theme, it is a great idea to run it throughout your wedding day. Choose bright and energetic colours with fresh flowers and summer themed stationery.

Summer brides have the advantage of being able to choose dresses without having to worry about if they are going to get cold, picking ones that are light and breezy. Some brides also decide to accessorise their outfits with an elegant lacy parasol; this keeps the sun well away and also looks great on wedding photographs.
Also, if your wedding celebrations are outside, some brides decide to go bare footed! Paint your toe nails the same colours as the bridesmaid’s dresses and tie brightly coloured ribbons around your ankles for a really individual look.

Make your summer themed menu light and fresh. Combine a cold buffet style of pizza and hams or even a BBQ if the weather is appropriate. Choose rather fruity deserts, chewy meringues with fresh cream and fruit salad or banana split. Carry this theme along to your wedding cake as well. Imagine an inviting chocolate cake, covered in mini flakes with cherries and fresh raspberries, delicious!

For the wedding reception you can really go to town regarding your summer theme. Have centre pieces on the tables filled with glowing yellow lemons or why not even fill little buckets with daisies. Sprinkle fresh petals over the tables,  not only will this looks great but smell wonderful!
