Summertime is when many people head to the beach, so a tropical themed wedding is perfect for this time of year. Even if you are not having a beachfront or waters-edge wedding, you can still incorporate elements of this theme into your event. Opt for lush, tropical flowers like hibiscus and birds of paradise for your florals. Choose rich emerald and aqua colors for your bridesmaids’ dresses and decor. Then be sure to book a tropical honeymoon to cap off the perfect beach-themed day!

Summer is home to many American holidays. If you are planning a Fourth of July, Labor Day, or similar wedding, why not create a stars and stripes themed event? A classic hangar dance would make a fun reception setting. You might even use a flag as a photo backdrop and incorporate red, white, and blue with your theme. Sparklers and fireworks are a fun way to cap off your event as well!

If your style is more rustic or you want a farm or barn event, give this popular theme a summer twist. A berry theme will fit in nicely with a rustic wedding. Add strawberries to your cake instead of or in addition to florals. Add berries to bouquets, floral arrangements, and centerpieces. Red, mauve, pink, purple, and blue are all colors that work nicely with this theme, as well. This fresh summer twist on the traditional is something that will set your event apart from all of the other rustic weddings that your guests may go to this year.
