A popular time of year to get married, with hopes of glorious weather, gardens bursting into full colour providing bounteous choice and amazing scents, dreams of alfresco dining, sitting out under the starlit sky…
Like with the flowers there are so many themes that would fit perfectly for a summer wedding:
- Coastal – incorporate pebbles, shells, drift wood, nautical finds, glass jar votives, salted caramel chocolate, sail white canvas awning or marquee, sheer glistening fabrics, cones of salted chips, boats strung with lights and bunting, hurricane lanterns, camper van…
- English Garden – roses, lavender, archways, pergola, candles, tea party, strawberry cream teas, marquee, cloudy lemonade, Pimms, soft fruit…
- Romantic Castle – jasmine, peonies and roses, wisteria, round tables, candelabras, candle lanterns lining the steps…
- Mediterranean Villa – rosemary, basil, olives, bread, cheese, citrus fruits, oils or herb pot favours, garland of festoon lights, vintage car,
- Meadow – beautiful buttercups, daisies, marquee, glass milk bottles, wooden trestle tables, picnic hampers and blankets, benches, logs…
- Woodland – trees and pathways decorated with lights, green leaves for name tags, summer berries, picnic…
It’s worth keeping in mind that wedding venues and wedding services will be high in demand during the height of the season (late Spring to early Fall). As a golden rule, no matter what season you choose, once you find your dream location / preferred service providers make sure you book them in as soon as possible.
