The perfect decor for a summer wedding should reflect the vibrant and joyful energy of the season, making the most of bright colors, natural light, and fresh elements, among other things.
Here are some ideas to create a magical and summery atmosphere for your wedding:
Fresh and Vibrant Colors
Choose colors that evoke the freshness of summer, such as pastel tones (mint, lavender, pale pink), bright colors (yellow, coral, fuchsia), or soft hues like white and gold.
We recommend these combinations:
- Coral, ivory, and gold: for a sophisticated wedding with a warm touch.
- Light blue, white, and mint green: for a relaxed and fresh wedding.
- Lavender and pastel yellow: for a romantic and cheerful atmosphere.
Fresh and Natural Flowers
Use seasonal flowers like daisies, peonies, lavender, sunflowers, tulips, roses, and orchids. These flowers are not only available in summer but also bring freshness and color.
Natural and Organic Elements
Use wood, linen, and jute to create a relaxed atmosphere. Rustic wooden tables or linen or jute table runners are perfect.
Outdoor decor
If your wedding is outdoors, consider placing elegant tents or transparent awnings to protect guests from the sun, while still enjoying the view of the sky and the natural surroundings. Decorative umbrellas or paper or wooden hand fans can be charming and practical details if it’s very hot.
For an evening wedding, use hanging lights, such as LED string lights or lanterns, to create a warm and cozy atmosphere.
Table decor
Use linen, cotton, or light fabric tablecloths that allow the table to breathe and look fresh. Soft colors or floral prints are very summery.
Opt for ceramic or porcelain plates in soft colors, or even transparent plates for a minimalist touch. The glassware should also be delicate and elegant, with wine, champagne, and water glasses that stand out.
Refreshing Food and Drinks
Create stations for fresh and colorful drinks, such as tropical cocktails, lemonades, mojitos, fresh juices, or coconut water, served in glass dispensers or vintage drink carts. You can also incorporate a light buffet with fresh options like salads, fruits, seafood, and cold dishes, ideal for the summer heat.
Summer-Themed Weddings
If you’re getting married at the beach, you can include nautical elements like seashells, starfish, fishing nets, or small sailboats in the decor. For a tropical wedding, use pineapples, palm leaves, exotic flowers, and details like cushions with flamingo or parrot prints.
Creating the perfect decor for a summer wedding is all about combining fresh, natural, and cheerful elements that highlight the beauty of the surroundings and offer a memorable experience for everyone present. The key is to strike the balance between elegance and relaxation, making the most of everything the season has to offer.
