Summer weddings — ideas and inspiration
Summer means long days, warmth and light. It is also a time when everything is possible — a wedding on the beach, in a garden, under the open sky.
Summer weddings have something singular about them. Long days give you more time. Warmth makes everything easier. Light makes everything look more beautiful.
Below you will find a few ideas that may help you plan a summer wedding.
The venue — where a summer wedding can be
Summer gives you more possibilities. You can be outdoors — in a garden, on a beach, in a forest, in a clearing. Anywhere there is room and where you feel good.
The beach — if you love the sea, a beach can be a beautiful place for a wedding. Sand, waves, a sunset. Everything you need.
A garden — if you have access to a garden, it can be an ideal place. Flowers, greenery, natural light. It is all there already.
A forest or a clearing — if you love nature, a forest or a clearing can be beautiful. Quiet, greenery, natural light.
Wine and a vineyard — if you love wine, a vineyard can be an ideal place. Hills, vines, natural light. And wine.

Décor — less is more
In summer nature is the décor. It is enough to be somewhere beautiful.
Bright colours — if you want to add colour, choose bright, summery ones. Reds, pinks, oranges, yellows — anything alive and joyful.
Fresh fruit — fruit can make beautiful décor. Lemons, oranges, peaches — anything seasonal and fresh.
Simple flowers — you do not need elaborate bouquets. Simple summer flowers — roses, dahlias, sunflowers — can be more beautiful than anything else.
Food and drink — fresh and light
In summer the food can be fresh and light. It is enough that it tastes good.
Seafood — if you are by the sea, seafood can be an ideal choice. Fresh, light, seasonal.
A barbecue — if you like grilling, it can be an ideal solution. Simple, tasty, summery.
Ice cream — ice cream can be the ideal dessert. Fresh, light, refreshing. And always a joy.
Cocktails — summer cocktails can be the ideal drink. Fresh, light, refreshing. And always a joy.

Clothing — light and comfortable
In summer the clothing can be light and comfortable. It is enough that you feel good.
The dress — if you like, you can have a lighter dress. Or one you can change into something lighter for the reception.
The suit — if you like, you can have a lighter suit. Or one in lighter colours — beige, pale blue, white.
Shoes — if you are outdoors, more comfortable shoes may help. Or you can go barefoot — if the place allows it.
Time — make use of the long days
Summer gives you long days. You can start later and finish later. You can have more time for everything.
A ceremony at sunset — if you like, you can hold the ceremony at sunset. It is a beautiful moment, full of light and colour.
A longer reception — if you like, you can have a longer reception. More time for food, dancing and conversation.
A weekend — if you like, you can make a weekend of it. More time for everything — the ceremony, the reception, the rest.

Worth keeping in mind
Sun — the sun can be strong. Think about shade, water, sun protection. And about somewhere for guests to shelter.
Heat — summer can be hot. Think about breeze, water, ventilation. And about how guests can cool down.
Insects — summer brings insects. Think about protection, candles, repellents. And about keeping guests comfortable.
Weather — summer weather can be unpredictable. Think about shelter, a plan B, and what you will do if it rains.
