Summer weddings are probably the most popular apart from those at Christmas. Summer provides beautiful weather, stunning flowers, and bright colors schemes make having a summer wedding a huge draw for people all over the world.

But how can you make your summer wedding perfect? Adding those extra details and your own creative flair to make the perfect day for not only the happy couple but the family and friends too.

The Setting

First of all, it is important to consider whether you want your wedding to be held in a big stately home, an old cottage building or a traditional church or cathedral. There are plenty of unique venues around the country which can offer stunning views, regal ceremony halls, and exciting photo opportunities. Imagine how amazing it would be to stand at the summit of a mountain or utilize the reflections of a lake in your wedding photos.

Make The Most Of The Outdoors

The best thing about hosting a wedding in the summer time is the weather. Bringing the outdoors in is a great way to make the most of the warmer season and to have fun with your theme.

Decorations

Decorative bunting, wooden signs and plenty of candles can make for a beautiful atmosphere for a summer wedding. If your parents or friends have a large garden you can borrow, you could set up your reception in the relative comfort of your own space. Wedding marquee hire makes it possible for you to have guests under safe cover just in case the weather decides to turn aggressive.

Prepare for the Worst

When you plan a whole wedding around a sunny, hot day, there are most likely going to be some factors which affect the smooth running of your special day. Why not make it a running joke with your guests and personalize some umbrellas and provide Wellington boots and cagoules for extreme weather. This is not only a great way to prepare for the awful weather, but you can also make this a running joke amongst your guests.

Afternoon Tea

The epitome of summer lunch is afternoon tea . The combination of bite size sandwiches, scones, and delicious cakes is what summer is made for. Why not host an impromptu afternoon tea as your wedding breakfast?

Ice Cream Van

Summer, sun, heat… It all leads to one thing; Ice cream. Everyone’s favorite summer and seaside treat, why not hire out an ice cream van for the afternoon to really get your guest in the summer spirit? You could even make a DIY ice cream stand yourself and allow your friends and family to pick and choose what they like.

Outdoor Ceremony

The beauty of getting married in the summer is that the temperature is high and the sun is usually in the sky. You can make the most of this by hosting your wedding outdoors, on a beach or in a flower-filled meadow. This will be a unique experience for you and your guests and create a beautiful day you can remember for the rest of your lives.
