Planning the Summer Wedding of Your Dreams - Colors, Dresses and Invitations
Summer is a wonderful time to get married, because everyone is happy about the sun and the fresh and glorious outdoors. During the summer, it is easier to relax and have a good time in not only the planning of the wedding, but in its execution as well. When we think of summer, we think of the bright warmth of the sun and spending carefree time with our friends and family. If you are in the midst of planning your wedding, here are five tips to help you pull off the summer wedding of your dreams.
Choosing Your Colors
With the Summer will come light, fun, and vibrant color. You will want to stay away from rich, deep, colors. If you prefer the rich and deep colors, it is better for you to get married during the Fall or Winter, as these seasons call for those colors. We recommend you choose colors such as: sky blue, sea green, sandy browns, and anything you think of when you think of the Summer or the beach. The colors will need to be used throughout the entire wedding, so they need to be colors you love.
Choosing Your Invitations
Your invitations will set the tone for the entire wedding, so they should not be chosen without great thought. We recommend letterpress invitations because they are elegant, artistic and hand crafted. Letterpress wedding invitations are eco-friendly because they use less ink, donï¾’t produce toxins, and use much less paper than other forms of printing. Use colors that match your theme and youï¾’ll pull off the perfect letterpress wedding invitation.
Choosing the Bridal Partyï¾’s Dresses
Since the Summer is well known for heat, the bridal party dresses should be made of a light fabric and shouldnï¾’t be too long or heavy. This is the perfect season for having more casual dresses that are knee or calf length. This will keep everyone in the party cool throughout the festivities. You may even want to consider letting each woman in the party choose her own dress to suit her body type and preferences, as this is becoming a more acceptable practice.
Choosing Your Location
Summer weddings are great because there are plenty of options for location, both indoors and out without much worry of the weather getting in the way. No matter whether you want to get married in a Church, or in a gazebo in the middle of a park, or on the beach, a summer wedding is a great way to keep your location options open.
Planning the Menu
Keep your summer wedding menu light. Serving hors d'oeuvres is much easier to plan and implement than a heavier meal with more options. A light meal will keep people from getting too full and sleepy so they can enjoy the rest of the gathering. For an evening Summer wedding, a full meal should be served. Keep the full meal light by going with a chicken or fish main course served with steamed vegetables and whole grain rice.
