12 Ideas for Your Summer Wedding
1. Decorate Your Summer Wedding Venue

Little ideas can make a significant impact, such as illuminating areas with festoon lights giving off a soft and gentle glow. Keep it simple with bulbs of all one shade or add a pop of colour with several lights in your wedding colours.
2. Arriving in Style at your Wedding
To take full advantage of the good weather, why not arrive or leave the ceremony in a classic open-top car. Alternatively, make a dramatic Cinderella-like appearance in a four-wheeled horse-drawn carriage. Decorate the outside with a choice of colours to suit the theme of your wedding day.3. Alfresco Wedding Ideas

You could even say your vows outside, beneath a floral arch or decorated gazebo. There are plenty of choices for the perfect alfresco wedding backdrop: a pretty English garden, a barn in the countryside, a beautiful stately home or castle. A destination such as Spain or Italy could increase your chances of good weather, as well as providing a more unusual setting of olive trees or vineyards.4. Pamper Your Wedding Guests
Whilst the focus is on the vows, do not forget your guests in the heat. Little thoughtful touches add to the day such as providing sun cream protection as well as shade, perhaps with some pretty parasols for the occasion.5. Keep Cool with an Ice Cream Cart

7. Offer Petal Ice Cubes to Create That Summer Feeling

8. Capture Pictures with a Photo Booth
There are plenty of photo opportunities at a summer wedding, and you can make them all the more memorable by hiring a photo booth. There are many to choose from such as an open-air version allowing for more guests to get involved in the photo taking action or a festival floral photo pod in keeping with the summer feel. Your photo booth may provide a beautiful backdrop, or find a hippie style van for your guests to use to capture some fun memories of the day.9. Use a Vow Book to Preserve Memories of Your Big Day
A vow book is a beautiful way to remember your summer wedding. The book will be a unique keepsake of your day and one to treasure always, as well as a reminder of the promises you made to one another.10. Summer Wedding Dresses

The choice of your wedding dress can add to the magic of your day. Tulle dresses create an ethereal air with their volume and grace for a princess look and feel. They are elegant and feminine, working in perfect harmony with this time of year and bringing to life that fairytale wedding dream. Or why not take advantage of the good weather and wear an off the shoulder dress. Or go a little shorter with a tea length style dress, not only a stylish but also a practical choice to keep you cool in the hot summer heat.11. Garden Party Games for Your Wedding
Summer weddings benefit from being able to use the outdoors, with garden party games like a giant Twister, Jenga or Connect Four for guests to get to know each other as well as taking them back to their childhood.12. Flower Rings for Summer All Year Long
