top tips for planning your upcoming summer wedding…
As the summer wedding season approaches, many couples are busy planning their big day and looking for the latest trends to incorporate into their celebrations. From décor to attire to entertainment, there are a plethora of options to choose from when it comes to creating the perfect summer wedding. Here are some go-to things for weddings this summer:
1. Outdoor Venues: With the warm weather and longer days, outdoor venues are a popular choice for summer weddings. Our venues have plenty to offer in this department. There is plenty of opportunity to use one of our expansive pub gardens to host a cocktail hour or to even hold your outdoor ceremony.
2. Boho Chic Décor: Although this concept has been around for a while now, Boho chic décor continues to be a popular trend for weddings this summer. Think dainty floral arrangements, macramé, and plenty of greenery for a relaxed and whimsical vibe.
3. Bright and Bold Colours: Summer weddings are the perfect opportunity to embrace bright and bold colours. From vivid florals to bold table decor, don't be afraid to add a pop of colour to your wedding aesthetic.
4. Interactive Food Stations: Instead of a traditional sit-down dinner, many couples are now opting for interactive food stations at their weddings. Think grazing tables, BBQ’s or build your own kebab station for a fun and interactive dining experience. Keeping the day flowing without the stop start of a formal dining set up.
5. Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Choices: With sustainability becoming increasingly important, many couples are opting for eco-friendly choices when planning their weddings. From using recycled paper for invitations to sourcing locally grown flowers, there are plenty of ways to make your wedding more sustainable.
6. Refreshment baskets: One of the finest and most important in my opinion. Applicable all year round, but especially in the summer are refreshment baskets in the toilets for your guests. Add a little personalised touch to your day by providing deodorant, perfumes, hairspray and flip flops for the little touch ups throughout the day. Trust me your guests will thank you to the end of time!
Overall, the key to planning a successful summer wedding is to incorporate elements that reflect your personality and style as a couple. Whether you choose to embrace the latest trends or stick with more traditional elements, the most important thing is to create a day that is truly memorable for you and your loved ones.
