Summer wedding colors & themes

It's interesting:
"On behalf of the bride and groom, I'd like to thank everyone for coming here today. Some of you have travelled considerable distances in order to be here and celebrate Paul and Linda’s happy day. Africa, Continental Europe, the Americas and Asia are not actually places where anyone has travelled from, but I hear that Uncle Jim and Auntie Morag had a 5 hour drive down from Glasgow."

Intrigue your guests by creating a magical wedding theme with vibrant summer wedding colors. Set the tone and overall mood of your special day by implementing highly saturated shades of colors with pastel colors. A combination of color elements combined with a whimsical story-like atmosphere work together to create the ideal summer wedding theme.

1. Beach Theme

   • Since summers are synonymous for warm temperatures, and sunny skies, create elements reminiscent of this environment. Combine the coolness of the beach with the warmth of the sun by introducing a beach theme into your wedding dé-cor. Decorate your wedding reception venue with accents of seashells, sand and water. You can also use elements of the beach to create your own unique color palette that is both complementary and striking. Light beige can represent the element of sand. Dark and light shades of blue can represent elements of nature, such as the deep blue ocean water and the light blue sky. White represents the foam of the ocean and the clouds in the sky. Seashells of varying color can be represented by shades of brown, beige and blue. Utilize hints of darker, saturated shades of pink, blue and accents of white and opal to add variety to your summer wedding colors and beach-themed wedding.

   Butterfly Theme

   • A whimsical way to entertain guests is by implementing a story line into your wedding. Accomplish this by adding butterflies into your wedding theme. Releasing hundreds of butterflies after the wedding ceremony doesn't have to be the only memorable detail when butterflies are included in the festivities. Use accents of butterflies on wedding reception decorations and the flowers on each centerpiece of each table. Butterflies can also adorn the top and sides of the wedding cake. According to Wedding Themes and More, a simplistic yet festive way to incorporate butterflies into a bride's wedding attire is to sew a butterfly appliqué- onto her garter. Since there are many different species of butterflies, all with different color patterns, you can utilize whichever species suits your individual color preferences. Use monarch butterflies to incorporate elements of burnt orange, yellow, white, and accents of gray or black into the mix. Use varieties of purplish blue, with specks of orange, and white, to represent the Northern blue butterflies, which are spectacular looking and will create unforgettable beauty on your special day.

   Fourth of July

   • Use colors reminiscent of Fourth of July celebrations, such as red, light blue, with accents of dark blue and white, as your wedding colors. Decorate your reception venue with accessories that are embellished with red, white and blue stars. You can also include a laser light show with red, blue, white and silver lights on the dance floor at the reception venue, making your special day even more spectacular and memorable. Use white carnations, red roses and blue hydrangeas or hyacinths in your centerpieces and decorations at the wedding venue to embody this eccentric wedding theme.

   Daisy Theme

   • There are many different species of daisies, from the very streamlined, simplistic white and yellow daisies to larger, more colorful Gerbera daisies of various colors and petal types. Whichever types of daisies you decide to include in your wedding, all daisies are symbolic of innocence and create a harmonious atmosphere. A great way to utilize summer colors within your daisy-themed wedding is to choose fuchsia or lavender Gerbera daisies, with lime green pom pom flowers, and decorate your wedding reception using variations of these same colors. Add accents of white to highlight and complement the warm rich hues of pink and the liveliness of the green. Use pastel shades of pink and green to balance the richness of the deeper, more intense colors used in your wedding decorations.
