As the temperature rises, so do these 5 hot themes to bring out the best of your summer wedding:

 

So you're planning a summer wedding...

 

You have the gift of increased natural beauty outdoors; even including natural light indoors. People are in generally better spirits than they are in the colder winter months, and of course it’s prime time for vacation - meaning that an invitation to your destination wedding might actually be the answer to someone’s prayers (as opposed to just another added expense).

 

So you have your natural lighting, but how far along are you on your decor?

 

Pastels, pale shades, and eye catching but not exactly jarring shades of pink, green, and blue are usually popular wedding colors. The point is making choices that make the wedding day special, and everything you want it to be. Remember: It’s the marriage that is meant to last forever, and not the wedding. So, on that note, maybe you’ll think about using some of the darker colors predicted to be big this summer season by industry insiders?

 

We're not trying to reinvent the wheel...

 

No matter if you are incorporating these fresh hues into your invitations, or working them into your wardrobe, it's the subtle and creative details that count. Even the use of decorations through flowers, chair covers, or even well placed streamers, it doesn’t take much to create the wedding you’ve been dreaming of.

 

We were inspired by the unique spin on a modern trend with these colors and patterns. We know you will be too.

 

Here are the top 5 wedding color trends for this summer...

 

5. Celestial Blue

Similar to the aquamarine color that will be very on trend for weddings in the spring, celestial blue will have a sort of dreamy and much less gendered affect on the visuals at your wedding. This color is perfect for favors for all guests, favors that could maybe do double duty as centerpieces or place markers at your reception, as well as dresses for tiny flower girls and pillows for young ring bearers.

Marchesa, Spring/Summer 2015

 

Although this dress from high end women’s wear designer Marchesa was walked down the London Fashion Week runway during the fall, everything about it says springing into summer, pun intended, and the unexpected floral accents along with the wispy celestial blue make it an alternative bride’s dream. Make way for the summer of love.

 

4. Pearl

There’s nothing like diamonds and “pearl” right? This soft color is a traditional wedding go to, and there are all sorts of modern interpretations of timeless concepts to be bought to the light through its’ use; think real pearl pink flowers on your wedding cake, or even favors for the bridesmaid that play off the theme of pearls while also using the color.

Giles, Spring/Summer 2015

 

Designer Giles Deacon’s smart cuts and clever sizing make this look the epitome of new takes on classic concepts. Mixing elements of the masculine and feminine and new and old is a sure way to create a look that is all your own.

 

3. Orchid Tint

This not quite lavender shade of soft purple is a great one for the risk takers. Great for attire, deserts, and even invitations; when offset by another pastel there’s no limits to what you can do with it at your summer wedding.

Buberry Porsum, Spring/Summer 2015

 

Model Jourdan Dunn is seen mixing the color with a traditional bridal material that has been designed into a sort of punk rock statement dress. Will orchid tint make an appearance at your wedding as a pop of color or as a dominant splattering?

 

2. Leaf Green

From lush wooded areas to tropical rainforests, leaf green is a color that thrives in nature, and adorns all outdoor summer weddings one way or the either. Embracing and cleverly working this green into your wedding through the use of flower crowns, wardrobe details, and even more obvious methods such as extra leafy bouquets can make for effortless style on your big day.

Erdem, Spring/Summer 2015

 

An original take on a floral dress like this one serves as great inspiration for bridesmaid’s dresses in more ways than one. Will you attempt super natural feats with this natural shade at your summer wedding?

 

1. Caramel

Deep, rich, and a reflection of both of your good tastes, no we’re not talking about your betrothed, although good for you if that’s what or who came to mind, we’re talking about the caramel color that may mean your bridesmaids actually can wear their dresses again. Summer doesn’t always have to mean blinding bright or super soft light colors, especially if that isn’t your thing!

Jonathan Saunders, Spring/Summer 2015

 

These deconstructed caramel pants paired with a button-up shirt that is anything but ordinary displays the fun that can be had with simple elements, and the artistry that can come across through the use of simple ideas and tools. Summer style isn’t always about the obvious, but that doesn’t mean that things need to be too far reaching either. In wedding planning and marriage, finding a good middle ground is ultra important.
