Plan a Romantic Summer Wedding

//  by The Wedding Shoppe

Are you planning to tie the knot in the summer? First of all, congratulations! A summer wedding is the perfect way to celebrate your love and commitment in a warm, sunny, and romantic atmosphere. Whether you want a classic, elegant, or casual celebration, there are endless ways to make your summer wedding unforgettable. Read on to learn some of the best tips for planning a romantic summer wedding.

Choose the Right Venue

The first step in planning a summer wedding is to choose a venue that captures your favorite parts about summertime. This can be a daunting task, but it’s also a fun and exciting opportunity to express your creativity and personality. 

If you want a traditional indoor ceremony, consider a classic ballroom, a historic mansion, or a beautiful cathedral. If you’d rather make use of that warm summer weather, think about a lush garden, a greenhouse, a picturesque beach, or a romantic vineyard. 

When choosing your venue, think about the time of day, the weather, and the logistics, and make sure the venue can accommodate your guests and vendors. Of course, there’s no controlling the weather months in advance, but you can pick a month that’s known for a lack of rain or overcast skies.

Pick the Perfect Flowers and Decor

Looking for romantic wedding ideas? Flowers and decor are an essential part of any wedding, and they instantly add a dash of romance to a celebration. Summer is a great time to incorporate vibrant and colorful blooms—think sunflowers, peonies, and roses—into your wedding decor. 

You can also use natural elements, such as greenery, moss, and wood, to create a rustic, organic, or whimsical vibe. Whether you want a classic or modern look, your florist and wedding planner can help you choose the right arrangements and accessories to complement your venue and theme.

Plan an Exquisite Menu

Food and drinks are a major part of any wedding, and they can be a fun and creative way to showcase your personal style and taste. A summer wedding is the perfect opportunity for seasonal and fresh ingredients like grilled meats, salads, and fruity desserts. One of our favorite summer wedding ideas is incorporating local flavors into your menu, such as BBQ, seafood, or farm-to-table cuisine. 

When it comes to drinks, think about refreshing and thirst-quenching options, such as lemonade, iced tea, and seasonal or themed cocktails. Whether you opt for a catered sit-down dinner, a buffet, or a food truck, make sure your menu is full of the food you love to eat!

Have Fun with Your Look

There’s no wedding without a stunning wedding dress! You may want to think about lighter and more breathable fabrics, such as cotton, linen, and chiffon, especially if you’re planning to get married outdoors. 

When it comes to accessories, think about practical and stylish options, such as a sunhat, sunglasses, and bridal shoes that ride the line between jaw-dropping and practical. No matter what look you decide to go for, make sure you feel comfortable and confident on your wedding day.
