Warm sunshine, vibrant colors, and outdoor setting opportunities abound during the summer months. Take advantage of the season with these summer wedding tips.
Summer Weddings - Things to Consider
Beat the Heat - Seriously consider renting fans or portable AC units for an outdoor wedding (even northern climates can hit 90 this time of year), and try to find a location with ample shade so guests can escape blazing sun and heat. Even if your wedding is inside, you´ll need to check the comfort level beforehand - some older venues lack good ventilation or aren´t air conditioned.
Brave the Elements - Outdoor settings are popular during the summer, but high temperatures aren´t the only discomfort you´ll have to contend with. Damaging UV rays, killer mosquitoes and pop-up showers are just some of the elements you may have to endure. Have bug spray, sunscreen and umbrellas on hand just in case.
Work Around Summer Travel - Remember that summer is prime time for family vacations, holiday weekends, oh yeah - and other weddings. Try to book your date and notify your guests as early as possible.
All in the Details - Summer Wedding Ideas
Invitations & Stationery
Add a summer motif - such as a seashell, starfish, tropical flower or plant - to your stationery suite
Go wild with color - now´s the time for paper or fonts in bolder tropical hues - such as fuschia or mango - or the colors of the sea - blues and greens
Wedding Venue
Get outdoors - summer weddings just call for a beach, garden, rooftop or backyard setting
Get on the water - marinas or even yacht cruises make for seasonably stylish venues
Décor Elements
Color palette -
bright and bold - hot pink and deep red or mango and fuschia
nautical - navy and white is a clean summer classic; accent with touches of yellow, red or gold.
seaside - combine aqua with beige, peach or white
Go casual - summer weddings lend themselves to a casual décor scheme - fitting of a backyard barbeque. Think checked table clothes, benches and picnic tables.
Go natural - incorporate natural décor elements like fruits, vegetables, even insects (like ladybugs or dragonflies, not necessarily roaches!)
Get lit - light up an outdoor evening reception with lanterns or torches.
Flowers
Seasonal blooms - abundant flowers are always in style at a summer wedding. Use bright and cheerful blooms like sunflowers, peonies, hydrangea, mums, daisies, dahlias, zinnias, and roses. Or create a breezy, airy look with white on white - using roses, stephanotis, calla lilies, snowball mums and daisies - and incorporate a touch of blue - like blue hydrangea
Fruits - fruits like lemons and limes look whimsical and chic when filled in tall clear vases
For a beach look - incorporate shells, sand, and sea glass in your arrangements
Menu
Serve lighter fare - think fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables like berries, watermelon, tomatoes, cucumber, and corn, seafood and lean poultry like chicken. Between courses, serve a light sorbet.
Spark up the grill - serve traditional picnic and grill fare like barbeque, burgers and potato salad
Head to the tropics - feature tropical signature cocktails like margaritas, sangria, or mojitos.
Cake
Light and Fluffy - serve something light, like angel food cake topped with whipped cream and berries
Fresh adornments - top traditional wedding cake with fresh tropical flowers like hibiscus, or decorate with shells and starfish
Spoon it out - serve light sorbet or gelato
Add a cherry - have a do it yourself sundae bar (just make sure you have a way to keep the ice cream cool)

Why Shade Sails Are the Must Have Item for A Summer Garden
Let's face it: parasols are boring. They never cover a big enough area to shade more than two people; they flap; they break; and they can't be used in any position other than up on the end of a flimsy stick. No – the new thing in garden shading is coming to the UK, in the form of shade sails: spectacular, sculpture-like edifices that can perform any outdoor function a person can imagine.
Shade Sails are made from scientifically developed material called shade cloth – a tough canvas like fabric impregnated with both weather proofing and UV protection. The average UV protection of shade sails comes in at around 85%, which makes them suitable for preventing burning on all but the fairest skin in heat way higher than we are ever likely to see in the UK. When you consider that Factor 85 is probably good enough for most people in the tropics, where a walk to the shops can give you crippling sun poisoning, you'll understand that shade sails offer a level of protection that makes a parasol look like a sun bed.
Shade sails can be cut to any shape or size, which means they are ideal for all outdoor purposes. Shade sails can be used to cover driveways and paths; they can cover all or part of a patio; or they can make roof like areas for what effectively become outdoor dining rooms. Shade sails can be strung together in attractive groups to form staggered or larger shading areas; they can be attached to the sides of buildings or strung between poles. And because shade sails are stiff (the treatments they are impregnated with make them tough and solid), they retain an attractive shape reminiscent of a schooner setting out to sea – hence the name.
Shade sails give as much protection from rain and wind as they do from sun. That makes them ideal installations – and they look so good "installations" is definitely the right word – for the British climate, which gets as much of the first two as it does of the third. Shade sails are meant to be permanent additions to the outside space, rather than the flimsy temporary furniture we tend to stock our gardens with. As such, they work all year round and are actually designed to enhance the look of one's outdoor areas.
Shade sails give an almost "art gallery" feel to a garden. The pale rigid shapes of the sails seem to levitate above greens and floral pastels, making them as much a part of the garden as its fences, paths and patios. It is amazing no-one thought of this a long time ago – garden furniture that actually fits in with the design of the place. Imagine the difference: on the one hand, some kind of pathetically flapping stripy umbrella that spends half its life in a shed; on the other, beautiful shade sails, giving patches of shade and seclusion under their sculptural bellies. It's time to ditch the tat and get with the programme – make something permanent for a change and enjoy the garden all year round.
