Summer Wedding Tips

From May until the end of August is the most popular time of the year for weddings. Summer weddings offer possibilities to experience celebration in a way that would be otherwise difficult or impossible during any other season throughout the year. Summer weddings can be often easier on the budget than winter weddings.

Summer weddings open possibilities for outdoor settings like a garden, a park, the beach or a beautiful private yard. Long days are great for an afternoon wedding, when dreamy sunsets frame the moment while saying your vows… a priceless opportunity to capture the celebration on film. Fresh fruit and vegetables decorations, or simply fill a large vase with bright yellow lemons and oranges. Diffuse a warm glow in the evening with torches and strings of paper lanterns in the trees. For centerpieces use tablecloths in metal watering cans.

One good reason to get married during the months of June, July or August is that 70% of dresses that you’ll find are sleeveless or strapless, hence perfect for the season. Georgette, chiffon, linen, organdy, crepe and light-weight silk are the perfect materials to avoid adding too much bulk to the dress.

Beach weddings call for easy and elegant slip dresses. the bridal party will be more than comfortable barefoot on the sand, and the men can wear dress shirts over slacks or linen suits.

For a Garden/Backyard wedding, the bridesmaids could wear big straw hats, or even just the bride. Brightly colored cocktail dresses are a great idea. The choice for the men in the bridal party can be either classic navy blazers with khaki slacks or tuxedos.

Heat and humidity must be taken into consideration. Moisture will definitely affect the hair. Straight hair will get limper and flatter, while wavy hair will get wavier and frizzier. Investing in a professional long-lasting hairdo would be the best option. Brides don’t forget to tuck a flower or place a flower-crown in your hair as a nod to the beautiful summer season!

The menu for the reception should include a celebratory summery bounty of fresh fruit, like watermelon, berries, fresh vegetables and corn. Dessert should include ice-cream, and refreshing granitas and sorbets. Seafood goes almost without saying. Lobster and oysters are a must to render the reception classy and elegant. If the style calls for a more casual celebration, a backyard barbeque or a traditional pic-nic setting will be a favorite!

Lastly, to make it a truly unforgettable event, have simple but original gifts for your guests to take home, such as sand dollars, or little notes enclosed in a tiny box, wrap or envelope.
