Summer is one of the most popular times to host a wedding due to the great weather and longer evenings. Are you planning on having a summer wedding and are in need of inspiration? Just check out these 7 things every summer wedding needs in order to have the ultimate soirée!
A Colorful Palette
Be bold with your color scheme to create a fun and playful summer aesthetic to your big day. Pairing unique colors together such as turquoise and orange or even yellow and fuschia can evoke a romantic yet festive feel to your summer wedding style.
Airy Attire
Make sure you and your wedding party are in fabrics that are lightweight and flowy. Fabrics such as satin can be much heavier and hotter. Also, allow for a more casual dress code for guests to have the option to wear something breathable, too.
Cool Favors
Keep guests from getting overheated during your ceremony and reception by giving out parasols, beer coozies or even personalized fans as favors! Your guests can easily cool down during your ceremony and reception with the help of these summer-inspired gifts.
Lawn Games
In lieu of a traditional cocktail hour, provide a variety of different outdoor games to entertain your guests with. This can include corn hole, ladder golf or even giant jenga! You’re guests will love the friendly competition and it can keep them busy while you’re finishing up your couple’s portraits!
Shaded Areas
Most likely your summer wedding will be outdoors, therefore opt to have an area where guests can get out of the sun for a bit. We suggest setting up a tent during your reception either over the dance floor or lounge.
Refreshing Drinks
Treat your guests to a self-serve drink station filled with a variety of ice cold beverages. They’ll definitely help beat the summer heat. Also, you can even get extra creative with your signature cocktails by including summer treats like icy pop-tails or orange creamsicles. Yum!
A Memorable Exit
Opt to have a send-off that is photo-worthy! Whether you choose to cruise off from your reception by boat or end the night with a bang with the help of sparklers, these send-off ideas are perfect for any summer wedding.
