A summer wedding means more use of outdoor spaces that are blessed with the shining sun. Indian summers can be a bit tricky so make sure you plan your wedding at a destination that experiences a pleasant summer like Bangalore. But how to capture the essence of summer in your wedding decor? Well! Light hues of pastel colors, summery flowers, unique props and over-the-top themes that I have listed in this blog will give you a little idea about the ambience.
These ideas are as chill as the summery breeze but very fun to execute. Don’t shy away from getting creative and add these cool things to your dream wedding board today.
Unique Floral arrangements
These look really cute and can be made according to your decor or your likes and preferences. From a giant elephant to tiny little birds in a corner, you can make floral arrangements in any shape, size and color you want. Make sure to use light pastel colored flowers for the structures in order to add summery vibes to the decor. These installations will also make for a very nice photo shoot area for the couple as well as the guests.
You can also get your initials made in the same fashion and place them at the entrance. Such structures can be scattered in the whole venue, especially the small birds as they bring attention to detail to the whole decor.
A carnival themed decor
I know this sounds pretty unachievable but if you think the theme is all about spending quality time and doing fun stuff with your friends and family. Carnivals have always been a happy place so why not incorporate them in the wedding? You can install some small carnival games or make a gaming zone which can include games like spin the wheel, balloon pop and bean bag toss. For the table centerpiece, a mini ferris wheel can be custom made. Cover the canopy with fairy lights to give it a more festive look.
This theme honesty is the best as your guests will have ample amount of activities to do. Incorporate all the carnival foods such as popcorn, candies, hotdogs and candy floss.
A forest themed reception
As we all know summer is all about nature and its breathtaking beauty so why not incorporate some in the decor? Everyone loves lush green forests and beautiful flowers; therefore this theme is going to be a hit among your guests. Get a ton of fresh foliage of varying shapes, sizes and colors. You can add some rustic furniture pieces as they will go along with the theme very well.
Decorate the ceiling with foliage strings and that will take the whole decor to the next level. The theme is also perfect to add a brunch setting for the banquet. Cover the chairs with light colored flowy drapes and use some foliage to make a bouquet for the centerpiece.
Origami art pieces and more
This is by far the best prop idea that I have come across. It is creative, beautiful and makes the whole decor dreamy. Get some strings made with such pieces and tassels and hang them from trees at the venue. This will also serve as a nice photo shoot area. This kind of decor is perfect for a mehendi ceremony as you can add as many colors as you want. Pair the props with matching flowers that you can avail easily in summers. Use equally colorful furniture that is abstract against the tassel backdrop.
This setup can also be used as a staging area for a haldi ceremony. Just don’t forget to add a bit of yellow to the color scheme.
A memory lane
This is your chance to have a private place for the both of you. This place can be designed as a memorabilia where you can tell your story with the help of pictures, letters and other things that you want to put on display. Your love story can be featured in a timeline here as well. The memorabilia will definitely add a personal touch to the wedding and will make the wedding yours.
Cover the place with tons of flowers like hydrangeas and roses to give it a summery feel. Also add placards with your favorite quotes or it can also be a great place to showcase your vows that use both have the written for each other.
