that might throw a wrench in your summer celebration.
Hot, Hot, Hot
If the locale for your
celebration is known to
sometimes get dangerously hot during the
summer months, you’ll
want to make sure
your guests will be safe
and comfortable. If an
outdoor ceremony or
reception is on your
wish list, make sure
the venue also offers a
backup indoor location
in case the mercury soars
to dangerous levels or a
storm rolls in. Ask if electricity is available for a
cooling station for guests
or an air conditioner
for the tent during the
reception.
You might decide
to hold your wedding
later in the day to avoid
the afternoon heat.
Check that the venue
can accommodate this
schedule.
Pesky pests
Logistics
Summer weather
also can bring the risk
of causing a makeup
meltdown. Will the bride
have a properly cooled
space to prepare for the
ceremony? If the bride’s
changing area is very
far from the ceremony,
ask if there’s a golf cart
or similar mode of
transport to get the bride
safely (and coolly) to the
aisle.
What about appropriate changing space for
the wedding party? The
hot and sticky summer
will make it pertinent
that your entire wedding
party can stay cool while
glamming up.
An outdoor event in
the summer is always
at risk of unwelcome
guests: mosquitoes.
If the venue has any
water features, such as a
fountain or pond, make
sure it’s well maintained
to keep breeding mosquitoes at bay. If there’s a
lot of brush, woods or
a field, ask if the field
is sprayed to prevent
a mosquito invasion.
Pretty much any outdoor
space can be susceptible
to mosquitoes during the
summer, so ask how the
venue plans to address
the issue.

Summer in Bloom
he lush blooms of summer make for endless options for vibrant arrangements. This means the summer bride can have her pick of the many
in-season flowers for her bouquet.
Yellows
Sunflowers, yellow
roses and daisies are
all great choices for the
summer bouquet. These
sunny hues are undeniably fun and offer a
uniquely summery vibe.
Snapdragon and
hypericum are great for
filler and offer lighter
tones.
Pinks and Purples
Hot pink Gerbera
daisies are eye-catching
and pair well with
yellows. Pink roses are
classic, while bright
stargazer lilies also are a
summery sight.
Deep plummy calla
lilies make a statement,
while cooler purple aster,
flox, freesia and alstromeria also are appealing.
Add punchy pinks to a
mass of lavender blooms
for a unique aesthetic.

rom feminine floral prints to allgrown-up plunging back lines,

gowns are decidedly girly.
Florals have been big in the fashion world at large for a
few years, and brides are getting in on the trend, too.
If your theme is ultra-feminine, incorporating pretty

as cascading blooms made of lace and beadwork.

A trendy place to

lines, as well as illusion
details that seem to float.
Pearls draped across
the back and intricate
lace designs are popular
aesthetics in bridal
gowns.
Deep V necklines

straps. Both make for

or the do-it-yourself bride, paper offers versatility and affordability that
can’t be beat. It’s easy to add paper touches to everything from the aisles
to the favors, so you can see why brides are getting crafty with paper.
Pinterest is awash with
ideas for paper creations
for your wedding. Your
options are endless, with
scrapbooking and craft
papers of every hue and
texture and die-cutting
machines galore on the
market.
A Paper for Every
Look
Choose chic vellum or
coarse kraft paper for just
the aesthetic you want.
Rustic weddings
themes can make great
use of natural and earthtone papers. From the
invitations to placecards
to guest books, mix
textures and shades of
browns, creams and
even leafy green to keep
the look natural and
accessible.
Craft your
Own Flowers
Cut or fold paper
into floral shapes and
patterns for affordable
but beautiful decor. With
a little practice, you can
make floral arrangements
that are indistinguishable
from the real thing.
Punch sheet music or
pages from old books
into heart shapes to
make confetti for tables
at the reception or for
showering the couple as
they leave the festivities.
These media also make
for great bouquets or
boutonnières.
Add paper flowers
to the outside of cheap
paper lanterns for simple
hanging decor.
Craft paper butterflies
to peek out from floral
centerpieces. Hang a wall
of paper flowers spaced
evenly down the length
of twine for the look of a
floral curtain.
Functional
Creations
If you expect the
day to be hot, cut
intricate patterns into
circle-shaped sheets of
scrapbooking paper and
fold into a fan. Add craft
sticks at each end for a
unique take-home favor.
Use thick stock paper
to make favor boxes or
accent cardboard boxes
with a greeting.
Make quick work of
crafting placecards with a
paper and font to match
your wedding theme.
When it comes time to
thank your guests, there’s
nothing a die-cutting
machine and imagination cannot do. Use your
imagination to create a
card that says “thank you”
in style.
As you can see, the
versatility of paper affords
you the opportunity to
get creative — just a little
or a lot.

n the 2000s, platinum was all the
rage in wedding jewelry. White gold
is a more affordable option, while
yellow gold is timeless. Now there’s
a new metal on the block. Enter rose
gold.
Rose gold is technical a gold and copper alloy,
according to jeweler Do Amore. More copper makes
for a ring with more red tones, while less copper

Rose gold also can be
mixed with yellow and
white gold to achieve a
unique look. Pair rose
gold with colored stones
to create a conversation
piece.
Before you go ring
shopping, here are a few
things to consider.
Pros
Durability. The
copper content in rose
gold makes it more
durable than white or
yellow gold, according
to Diamonds.com. So if
you’re looking for a piece
of jewelry that will stand
the test of time, consider
rose gold.
Affordability.
Although rose gold is
gaining in popularity,
copper is very affordable, making rose gold a
budget-conscious choice.
Versatility. Rose gold
complements warm and
cool skin tones, making
it a good choice for many
women. Although it can
be used in modern and
more classic ring designs,
rose gold is best in a
vintage-inspired piece.

modern sweets.
Intricately decorated

are finding their way to

Almost Cake
Cupcakes are a
culinary trend that’s
found acceptance from
the food truck to the
formal wedding affair.
But that doesn’t mean
they have to be ordinary.
Consider a tower display
of lacy cupcake wrappers adorning miniature
gourmet confections for
a sweet that does double
duty as decor.
Pies also are an option.

cheesecakes laced with
liquor or pastries filled

Whoopie pies,
cream puffs, meringue,

— there’s practically
no dessert that can’t be
miniaturized to make
an impression at the
wedding reception. Pick
a handful of options so
guests can sample.
Frozen delights
Guests looking to
cool off during your
summertime affair will
welcome trendy frozen
creations. Consider a
do-it-yourself sundae
bar or a selection of
fruity sorbets.
Have it All
If you’re overwhelmed with options
and your sweet tooth
can’t make a decision,
consider a desert bar
where guests can help
themselves to a variety
of options. After all,
you can’t have too
much of a good thing.

On the flip side, Leah

bright yellow-green.
GO MULTI-TONAL
Another wedding
trend creates a great
opportunity to let brides
be a little more creative
with their color choices.
It’s becoming popular
to style bridesmaids in
varying tones of a single
color. For example, if
you opt for greens, let
each bridesmaid choose
a unique gown in shades
from pale mint to candy
apple. You also might mix
shades of hot pinks with
bright oranges.
Another option is to
consider an expansive
color palette, with the
wedding party sporting
varying muted shades of
some of Pantone’s top-10
swatches.

GO FOR
CONTRAST
If you’re feeling
adventurous, mix
the two ideas for a
rustic or woodland
theme accented
with vibrant pops of
color. Subtle wood
tones make a great
neutral background
for bright pops of
color that evoke
summer’s abundant
flora. Of course, a
more classic rustic
theme can make
great use of pale
rose and cream, as
well.

choose, your
