When I was planning my wedding, I foolishly thought that spring was one of the most popular times of the year for people to get married. Turns out that I was wrong! In a recent survey that’s come out, summer and autumn weddings are actually more desirable to couples than a springtime wedding. Who knew? Anyway, with summer rapidly approaching, many couples planning a wedding are getting closer and closer to their wedding date. I remember the feeling, the days are speeding by and it seems like there is still so much to do! And of course, so many huge decisions to make about what kinds of flowers, food, decorations, and so much more! So, if you’re in the process of planning a summer wedding, looking at having a summer wedding, or just in desperate need of some fun summer wedding ideas to make your wedding what you’ve always dreamed of, then here are some new and popular summer wedding ideas you can expect to see this summer.
Summer Wedding Flowers
For June, expect to see a lot of pink. Pink is an extremely popular color for summer wedding bouquets, it comes in a variety of shades and can be paired with soft blues, lavenders or even white flowers for a beautiful wedding bouquet. You can find all the beautiful shades for June with carnations, orchids, hydrangeas, dahlia, gladiolas and more! Then, as the summer starts getting hotter in July, so will the colors! Bright yellows, oranges, reds and even hot pinks can be found in July wedding bouquets. What a beautiful contrast to a white wedding dress! In July, look for Gerber daisies, roses, daylilies, cala lilies and more! They’ll hold up against warm weather and still look great! As August approaches, so will the depth of the flowers. In August, you’ll find a wide variety of two toned flowers to add depth and life to the brighter colors of June and July. Pink and white combination roses can add some real beauty to your wedding bouquet. Also, some exotic flowers such as deep colored orchids or lilies are very popular. Summer is a beautiful time of the year to get married, and getting some great summer wedding ideas for flowers never hurts!
Summer Wedding Themes
Many summer wedding ideas tend to hinge on some kind of wedding theme. Having a summer wedding theme is an easy way to incorporate some of our favorite things about summer into your wedding! For example, beach weddings are always a favorite, and especially during summer. Your wedding doesn’t have to be held on a beach, and your wedding reception can easily be transformed into a beach paradise through the use of some key decorations, such as sand, shells, umbrellas, tiki torches, and much more. Some other popular summer wedding themes you can use are: an English Garden, Midsummer Night’s Dream, the Fourth of July, or even a night under the stars. You’ll find that if you have a wedding theme that applies to summer, the summer wedding ideas will flow much more easily.
Summer Wedding Favors
Again, if you have a summer wedding theme, then the ideas for your wedding favors can follow right along with them. But if you don’t, you could always make some flower ballpoint pens with the use of some greenery tape and silk flowers. Handing out pairs of flip flops or floppy hats are another option, but you can also use sea shells, candles, or any other summery looking favor. They don’t all have to match, so look around for a great deal, and you’ll find your guests delighted with the favors you’ve chosen.
As I’ve mentioned before, summer is a beautiful time of the year to get married. Getting married on a beautiful clear sunny day will be something you remember for the rest of your life. There are lots of different summer wedding ideas that you can use to make your wedding the event you’ve always dreamed of. Keep checking back for great tips and ideas you can use.
