Choose Your Summer Wedding Colors

The most popular time of the year to get married is from May through August. Planning a summer wedding allows you several options of having the ceremony and reception either indoors or outdoors. This time of the year offers a wide range of summer wedding colors from pastel pink, light blue, yellow or lavender to red paired with hot pink or orange. Prefer the calming color of light green, why not pair it with a darker green, pink or lime green.

If you are having a beach or tropical island destination wedding then incorporate the colors of the surroundings in your flowers, invitations, favors, bridesmaids dresses and reception table decor. Your summer wedding colors can reflect the colors of the greenery, water, sand, plants and flowers.

Can't decide which colors to use for your summer wedding and reception, browse through the two or three color combinations and photos to see how the colors work together. Experiment. Have fun. Add to the list with one of your favorite colors. Take your time. You don't have to make a rush decision.

Make your selection of colors from the summer wedding combinations and then included them in your flowers, bouquets, bridesmaids dresses, initiations and reception tables. Include popular summer themes such as sunflowers, beach themes, sailboats and sea shells.

Summer Wedding Color Combinations 

type=textDesign your summer wedding colors around the wide variety of nature's bold colors found in blooms and foliage. Use pastel colors as background accents for your summer color schemes.

If you are planning a beach or island wedding, take advantage of the tropical colors found in native fruits such as payaya, pineapple or passion fruit. Use these colors in combination with other colors or alone to create a stunning color theme.

If you plan to use darker colors generally associated with fall or winter weddings, soften them up with pink or yellow.

Choose two or three color combinations to mix and match or add in another one of your favorite colors. In addition to the summer wedding colors below, you can also add polka dot or gingham patterns to your stationery, table settings, gifts or cake design. Be creative. Create your own coordinated personalized style of summer wedding colors.

Summer Wedding Flowers 

type=textFor your summer wedding, you have a large selection of bright and colorful flowers. Your choices include pastel color flowers to the more vibrant purples, reds and oranges.

The seasonal flowers that are in bloom and readily available will offer you the best price and availability. Many imported or commercially grown flowers will offer a longer shelf life and this is important when taking into consideration travel time to your destination.

Since summer time is a very popular time for weddings and especially in the month of June, you need to decide early what flowers you want. Be specific. Visit or contact florists early to check the availability of flowers that you want and to get the best pricing. Once you have made a decision, get your order in writing and confirm everything at least a week before the big day.

Summer Wedding Invitations 

type=textAre you in the process of selecting a wedding invitation? The selection process should be carefully thought out. Keep in mind that your wedding invitation will be the first impression most family and friends will have of your wedding date announcement.

If you are planning a wedding outside, choose something fun and whimsical with bold bright colors. For a beach wedding be creative and use photographs of beaches, sunsets or local tropical scenes on the front of your wedding invitations especially if you are planning a destination wedding. If you are planning a more traditional or formal type wedding, use a thinner paper such as vellum to convey a lighter airy feel.

The best colors your summer wedding invitations are pastel pinks and yellows, light blues and white. Include stamped, pressed or embossed flowers, starfish, sea shells or other beach items. You can also use very light weight muslin cloth, organza ribbon or raffia to tie all the pieces together. The best papers to use are light weight bond papers, handmade papers with pressed flowers, vellum and light weight and color bond papers.
