In summer, arranging your wedding means pulling your glamorous train under sunbeams, having birdsongs as your music list, and flowers as your theme. Summer is a peak wedding season; it's the best time to commemorate your special day. But, it wouldn't be so if you don't know how to invest each particular advantage for the prosperity of your wedding. So, here are the top summer wedding ideas for 2022:

Summer Colors

A summer wedding should have the delightful vibes of this season in all aspects, and what's better than fresh colors to spread joy? Summer colors should dominate everything in the venue: decoration, food, bridesmaids' dresses, best men's suits, and flowers. There are many color trends for 2022. For example, you can use mauve with beige and white as your summer wedding theme. Another trend is green, pink, and beige. Actually, telling guests about your summer wedding colors’ theme might be a wedding inspiration to help them with what to wear to a summer wedding.

The Dress

Saying yes to the wedding dress is a difficult task already, but the summer dress is an additional worry for many brides-to-be. However, worry no more; many fabrics and designs will be stylish and comfortable for a hot summer day. So what to wear to a summer wedding?

You can go for an off-shoulder design, which will flash a little flesh and enable you to move freely in addition to a heavenly look. Avoid tight sleeves and turtlenecks. Go for a flared skirt, not a tight one, because it hinders your move and tightens your breath.

Furthermore, there are numerous suggestions for light and delicate fabrics. For example, Batiste is a very soft and lightweight fabric, and it's perfectly adequate for warm weather. In addition, the Charmeuse fabric is totally luxurious, gorgeous, and delicate. Several layers of Chiffon fabric with detailed glowing embroidery would make you flow like an angel. As a matter of fact, long dresses aren't the only trend nowadays; you can wear a short or tea-length dress, especially if you're having a summer outdoor wedding while moving with the train-style dress would be hard and make the dress dirty. Break the rules and get out of the box with your wedding dress design!

Beautiful Outdoor Celebration Options

What differentiates a December wedding from a July wedding? It's absolutely the availability of tremendous outdoor wedding ideas for summer. You'll be making your vows in the presence of birds, flowers, trees, and all the natural elements. The outdoor wedding ideas for summer are limitless.

For example, you can have your wedding by the lapping waves on the beach. The ocean could be your summer wedding theme, and the sea breeze is a plus to the overall atmosphere. Another outdoor wedding idea for summer is a forest. You can decorate a romantic walkway all through the way to the destination. This August wedding idea will be a distant spot, away from crowds and traffic, in the heart of nature and trees to leave your eternal love memo on tree bark.

Working With What's In Season

Trends and fads are constantly changing. A year or two ago, what was the norm couldn't really fit into our novel times. Take a look at the most modern August wedding ideas and trends for summer wedding colors, dresses, and decoration ideas of the year, then plan accordingly. Remember that it's fine to borrow wedding inspiration and old notions.

Top Summer Catering Trends

Here comes the part that will either make your wedding memorable or run-of-the-mill. Food and beverages are a crucial part of each celebration. So, you have to make the best use of them to guarantee your guests are enjoying their time.

It's summer, and everyone will dry out so fast. So, beverages come first, and guests have to be fueled with the appropriate drinks to quench their thirst. Fruit cocktail fountains are the latest trend now, as the many options will suit each taste. In addition, they add a fresh summery touch to the place.

Matching the color of the fruit with the dominant summer wedding colors of the venue and decoration would be a fabulous wedding inspiration. However, this suggestion doesn't cancel the presence of beers and champagne. As for the food, sushi is prominent in summer weddings. Sushi would be great as it should be served warm or slightly cool, but keep the rolls varied to meet all tastes. Actually, one of the July wedding trends is food stations. You can have a food station for sushi and other seafood types.

Make Sure The Venue Has AC

Evaluating a wedding venue itself can be a hard task to complete, especially for summer. Not everyone is a summer outdoor wedding fan, and that's okay; summer vibes can definitely be enjoyed in an indoor venue. However, no one will enjoy quality time sweating. The heat is harsher indoors than outdoors, as there's no way for air refreshment. But most venues have air conditioning systems for such cases. Still, many venues don't. So, before you settle for a venue, make sure it has AC that's appropriate for the space and number of guests.
