Summer wedding color ideas

It's interesting:
"Tradition decrees that the best man responds to the toast to the bridesmaids and I am happy to be asked to do so. Like everything else about this wedding they were perfection itself."

While it is true that a bride can choose any colors for her wedding that she wants, a discerning bride will consider the time of year, the wedding venue surroundings, and even consider the opinion of others. For a summer wedding, there are some color ideas that are more suitable then others.

1. All white

   • Summer is the time of year when you can take a white wedding to extremes. An all white wedding is both striking and classic at the tame time. It also works with modern themes. The only challenge with creating a white color scheme is that you must choose a hall with no strong colors in the background or it will read as part of your color scheme. The background of a white wedding needs to be neutral or white as well. To make a white wedding color scheme more striking line the wedding and reception venue with white linen or satin fabric (create an indoor tent) to block out any other background colors.

   Pink and green

   • Pink and green mirrors the season and is a perfect color scheme for a summer wedding. Your option of flowers will be endless allowing you to make economic choices to fill the wedding and reception hall. In addition, the combination of pink and green are fun and lighthearted and will put everyone in attendance in a positive and energetic mood.

   All pink

   • People tend to snicker when they think of an all pink wedding, but when done right, the result can be very striking. By using different shades of pink from powder pink to magenta, you can create a sense of depth and make pink look exciting instead of girly and frilly. To keep it classy, the softer shades of pink should be the base of the design, and the darker shades can be used for accents.

   Lavender

   • For a wedding color scheme that is soft, relaxing, and peaceful, choose lavender. Lavender is the most popular color for a summer wedding and it is perfect for an outdoors summer wedding as it conjures images of the countryside. The perfect floral compliment for a lavender wedding is. . . lavender, of course. Use the inexpensive flowering shrub as the dominant decoration in your floral bouquets and table centerpieces and enjoy the aromatic treat.

   Ocean and Sand

   • If you are having a summer wedding by the beach or a beach destination wedding, you could use ocean tones as your decorating scheme. Turquoise and beige or taupe are a wonderful combination for an ocean-side wedding. For decorations, you can use natural seashells and turquoise candles. The bride can wear a white dress with a turquoise sash and the rest of the wedding party can wear taupe or beige with turquoise accents.
