Choosing the right wedding colors for your event is one of the most important steps.
Traditionally, summer wedding colors are bright and sharp – think about how everything seems much more vivid when the sun is shining! When it comes to wedding ideas, summer brides have limitless possibilities
There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to selecting colors for your summer themed wedding. The fact is that this is your special day and you should do whatever makes you feel happy.
Pastel colors, which are more preferred in the spring season, are not out of place during a summer wedding. In fact, you can sprinkle some pastel hues on your invitations. Accentuate the bridesmaids’ dresses with pastel objects. Pastel colors complement the bright and bold hues of summer.
When deciding about what color scheme to follow, think of the sun, sky, crystal waters in the beach, the flowers, and the bees. The color of the ocean is also the shade of peace and relaxation. It adds a dreamy, tranquil element to your wedding, as well as a touch of glamour. Try something fun and use Navy Blue which has a nautical, clean feel. You won’t want to introduce too many other colors if using navy, though. Keep it to accents of white and green, as in foliage-green. These hues work well with classic, elegant weddings.
White is one of the first colors that comes to mind when planning a wedding, regardless of season. So, to make your white wedding work as the perfect summer wedding color additions of green, bold blues, and free-flowing bouquets are small things to make it really fresh and summery. Great summer wedding color combos for white include blue, green, and pink.
Pink and red is also a good pair of summer wedding motif. Roses are the best ways to represent this theme. You can use all shades of pink and red, and surely, love will flourish during the event. Deep red can be elegant and timeless, lighten it to a pink and you have a sweet, romantic color. Use all shades of both colors and romance will bloom everywhere. Try incorporating fibers of white lights, heart patterned chocolates, flute and harp music, candles, and programs topped with sheer overlays.
Lavender works so well for summer weddings because it conjures up images of Mediterranean Europe and gentle afternoons in the park. One of favorite themes for a summer wedding is, in fact lavender! With lavender spilling into favors (lavender tea or lavender plants), and even your menu (lavender shorbet or lavender pork) it’s a uniquely beautiful start to a summer wedding theme. Great color combos for lavender include terra cotta and bright pink and yellow.
Gold is the color of wedding rings and champagne. It’s elegant, timeless and gives everything an air of sophistication. Best of all, it can be combined with just about any shade for beautiful results. Gold pairs beautifully with lavender for a bright, cheery scheme. Add magenta to this combination to really brighten up the occasion

Summer Weddings
Summer is a favorite season to get married in, with the longer days and bloom of all the flowers. Summer is fresh, happy, and suggestive of the colors of the flowers, the sun, and the green grass.When it comes to wedding ideas, summer brides have limitless possibilities.
Complementing summer schemes include any two shades of a light, bright blue; pale or bright pink and yellow; mint green or forest green and white or blue; a light and dark purple; gold and green; and even red paired with orange or pink like the sunset.
Summer weddings are ripe for an outdoor setting such as a beach, a garden, or a beautiful yard. Take advantage of the long days with an afternoon wedding, or highlight the glorious sunsets by saying your vows as the sun goes down behind you. Use fresh fruits and vegetables to decorate — perhaps including clementines and cumquats in your flower arrangements, or simply filling a large vase with bright yellow lemons. Bring light to an evening wedding with torches and strings of lanterns in the trees. An extra-summery idea is to use gingham tablecloths with a few sunflowers in metal watering cans as centerpieces.
Don’t forget to provide heat relief. No matter how much you love the sun, your guests will probably want a few ways to escape the heat. Make sure an outdoor venue offers some shade or air-conditioning and set up an area where your guests can grab cold beverages as well.
As temperature rises during the summertime, brides need to be best prepared for the heat. In order for you to feel great and not be drenched with sweat, consider breezy dresses with airy silhouettes and light fabrics for a a summertime affair.For the wedding dress, think organdy, linen, chiffon, crepe, georgette, or any light-weight silk. Bridesmaids dresses in linen, eyelet, or seersucker will ensure your girls are comfortable. You may want to forego tuxes and dress the guys in traditional Cape Cod style – khakis, blue sport coats, and colorful ties, or morning suits for a more formal affair.
Summer is the time for fruity blended drinks and signature mixed cocktails. Keep your fare on the light side, think salad bar, fresh fruit and shrimp cocktail for appetizers. Serve big bowls of cherries. Main courses should remain simple and light as well: fresh seafood is a perfect choice for a summer wedding also chicken and fish as opposed to heavy pastas and beef. And the cake doesn’t even have to be a cake! Think tiered cupcakes with frosting to match your color scheme. Other good summer dessert options include berries with whipped cream and an ice cream sundae bar.
Create a laid-back vibe during your cocktail hour and dinner with steel drums or a singer accompanied with a ukulele. For the reception, heat up the evening with sultry sounds, it’s a wonderful idea to incorporate classic swing or big band music to add a fast, upbeat tempo to the evening.
