Planning a SUMMER wedding??? Brides Southern California magazine has some great cheat sheets organized by season written by Lauren Matthews and Heather Lee. This is my second entry of four (each a different season).
Matthews and Lee say that ideal settings for weddings in SUMMER take place beneath a white tend on a private beach. The COLOR PALETTE should be one of two sets: (1) for the classic look use cornflower blue, lemon yellow and white, or (2) go for the unexpected look with vanilla, raspberry and indigo.
The SEASONAL FLOWERS of SUMMER include: lilies, daisies, delphiniums, Queen Anne’s Lace, sunflowers, lisianthuses, and hydrangeas.
ATTIRE:
- BRIDE: A flowy, sleeveless chiffon gown
- GROOM: A tan suit with a white and beige stripped shirt
- BRIDESMAIDS: Seersucker Dresses
BEVERAGES & EXTRAS: Chilled sparkling sodas (IZZE) at an outdoor ceremony, watermelon-basil margaritas, rose wine, vodka-sparked lemonade, and local beers.
TABLE SETTING: Arrangements featuring fresh seasonal fruit like peaches, cherries and strawberries.
FABRICS: Cotton, gingham, eyelet lace, burlap.
DESSERT: Strawberry shortcake & peach cobbler.
GETAWAY: Tandem bicycle
Enjoy your outdoor wedding ceremony with the natural elements of Summer…stay tuned for our Fall and Winter entries!
