In the wedding industry, summer is the height of the season. If you’re looking to tie the knot in the warmer months, you’ll have an abundance of natural wonders from which to draw inspiration. Once you’ve picked out the perfect wedding venue, you can focus on ornamenting the space with accents that ring in the season. Consider the following list of ideas to get your creative juices flowing.

3 Summer-Inspired Ideas for Personalizing Your Wedding Venue

1. Bright Palette

While winter and spring were all about subdued, pastel tones, summer is the time to enjoy life in bloom—the perfect metaphor for your blossoming relationship. With this in mind, formulate a color palette that’s bold and bright. Contrast fresh white linens with turquoise and yellow accents, or pair rich green and pink tones for a garden-inspired affair.

2. Warm Weather Decor

The summer brings to mind romantic walks on balmy nights or carefree days in the sun. Call these tender memories to mind by decorating your wedding venue with beach-themed decor, like candles in jars filled with sand and shells or lush centerpieces of orange roses. Form a trellis of flowers for your guests to walk under as they arrive, and use sand dollar place cards to lead them to their respective tables.

3. Fun Favors

If summer for you is about letting loose and having fun, express this sentiment in your favors. After all, this is the last aspect of your wedding that guests will experience and the one memento they’ll take with them. In the spirit of summer, send your loved ones off with personalized beach towels or seashell-shaped chocolates.
