With summer quickly approaching, we know you’re ready to soak up the sun and tie the knot in style! That means it’s time to talk about the hottest trends that’ll make your summer wedding sizzle. So grab a fruity cocktail, and let’s dive into the top eight trends of the season!
Outdoor Elegance
With sunny skies and warm breezes, summer is the perfect time to take your celebration outside.
To embrace the beauty of nature with outdoor ceremonies and receptions, you can add romantic touches like flowing drapery, twinkling lights, and cascading floral installations to create an enchanted garden vibe that will leave your guests in awe.
Bold and Bright Colors
Say goodbye to muted palettes – this summer is all about vibrant hues that pop!
From punchy pinks and citrusy oranges to electric blues and sunny yellows, don’t be afraid to go bold with your color scheme. Mix and match complementary shades or opt for a single statement color to make a splash.
Incorporate your chosen colors into everything from your floral arrangements and bridesmaid dresses to your table linens and stationery for a cohesive look that screams summer fun!
Boho Chic Vibes
Channel your inner free spirit with a boho-inspired wedding that exudes laid-back elegance!
Embrace natural textures like macramé, rattan, and wood for a relaxed yet stylish vibe. Mix and match vintage rugs and eclectic furniture for cozy lounge areas where guests can kick back and relax.
Complete the look with dreamy floral arrangements featuring wildflowers, pampas grass, and cascading greenery for a whimsical touch that’s oh-so-chic!
Interactive Food and Drink Stations
Keep your guests cool and refreshed with interactive food and drink stations that add a fun twist to traditional catering: Set up a DIY taco bar with all the fixings, a refreshing lemonade stand, or a build-your-own ice cream sundae station.
Don’t forget about signature summer cocktails featuring fresh fruits and herbs – nothing says summer like sipping on a fruity mojito or a crisp cucumber gin fizz!
Statement Sleeves and Necklines
Make a fashion statement with bold sleeves and necklines that add drama and flair to your bridal look.From billowy bishop sleeves to off-the-shoulder necklines and plunging V-necks, embrace the opportunity to show off your personal style with a gown that makes you feel like a goddess.
Pro tip: Opt for lightweight fabrics like chiffon and lace to keep cool in the summer heat while still looking effortlessly chic.
Live Entertainment
Summer calls for getting the party started with live entertainment that keeps the energy high and the dance floor packed! Whether you opt for a live band, DJ, or a combination of both, choose performers who know how to read the crowd and keep the momentum going all night long.
Consider adding fun extras like a photo booth with props or a live caricature artist to keep guests entertained between dances!
Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Touches
Environmental consciousness is on the rise, and since summer means enjoying your nuptials outside, more couples are opting for sustainable and eco-friendly wedding options. An easy way to reduce waste is by using biodegradable confetti or opting for digital invitations.
When it comes to your floral arrangements, choose locally sourced and seasonal blooms – this way, your flowers will be as fresh as possible and will provide the perfect summer vibe!
Hidden Cocktails
Embraced by couples seeking a touch of intrigue, secret cocktail menus offer an array of tantalizing options for those unable to settle on just one signature sip.
Feel free to have fun with how you implement a secret cocktail. You can leave little hints on your wedding program or somewhere on your centerpieces, or you can tell a few chosen guests who will spread the word for you!
For an extra layer of fun, name the cocktail after a special aspect of your love story, like the name of where you went on your first date or the title of the movie you love to watch together.
