Unique Summer Wedding Ideas

There are a lot of great summer wedding ideas to choose from. Couples planning to wed during these months have the pick of having outdoor nuptials. Although couples do exchange vows throughout the year, summer months show an increase of people tying the knot. The warm weather allows couples to have more freedom in choosing locale and wedding themes. Here are a few summer wedding ideas.

One summer wedding idea that is popular and a lot of fun is a Hawaiian luau theme wedding. These weddings can be held at a resort or in someone’s backyard. Ideally there should be a pool or beach access. The goal is to make guests feel as if they are on a tropical island. This can be achieved by decorating the ceremony and reception area with Hawaiian adornments.

Instead of using traditional roses or carnations as floral arrangements, tropical flowers should be use to create an island feeling. Examples of tropical flowers are lilies and orchids. Luaus generally occur in the evening and flame torches are traditionally used for lighting. Similarly, Hawaiian luau theme weddings may choose to have torches as decorations.

In addition to decorations, the music and food served should have a Hawaiian feel. Selecting a caterer or wedding coordinator who is knowledgeable on how to throw a Hawaiian luau theme wedding will assure a perfect day.

Another great summer wedding idea is having an ocean theme wedding or a beach wedding. Weddings on a white sandy shore are exquisite. Beaches are great for bringing out the romance in people. Couples gravitate to the open shore for some alone time.

Ocean theme weddings tend to be more casual and simple. Some brides opt to wear summer dresses or bathing suits, and guests wear shorts. Sea shells and sea animals are perfect for decorating the reception area. Sea creatures can be imprinted on napkins, while shells are used to decorate tables. Shells and boats can also be used to top wedding cakes.

Beach weddings also give couples the choice of having evening nuptials while the sun sets. Sunset weddings are romantic and perfect because summer days tend to be hot, hazy, and humid. To create a romantic ambiance, candles and lanterns should be used to provide light during evening ocean weddings.

A unique summer wedding idea is having a star theme wedding. These weddings are held at night, preferably on a clear night. The attire for star wedding nuptials is formal. The bride is made to looks like a princess, while her bridal party stands beside her in formal gowns.

Decorations for star theme weddings can include anything celestial. Stars can be positioned on the walls and accented with decorative lights. Stars that glow in the dark are perfect since the lights in the reception will be dimmed.

Tables should be adorned with dark clothes. Centerpieces for tables should include star shaped candles or 3-D star figurines. Sprinkling table clothes with glitter adds a nice touch. Star theme weddings are enchanting and beautiful. These weddings are also romantic because they take place at night under the stars.
