Top 5 Summer Wedding Trends We’re Loving This Year

There’s just something about this time of year that we absolutely LOVE! Offering the perfect canvas for creativity and style, summer weddings are the perfect time to embrace the season through color, floral accents, and fresh fare. Whether you plan to say “I Do!” on a white sand beach or in a blooming garden, here are some unique summer wedding trends we’re loving this year. 

The Full Bloom

From bridal bouquets to aisle decor and jaw-dropping tablescapes, flowers have been promoted from accessory to statement piece this summer. Creating a vibrant symphony of colors, textures, and scale seems to be the major through-line this season, offering a romantic and luxurious feel that goes beyond your average arrangement. Bold blooms like ranunculus, dahlias, and peonies are all having a moment, particularly when paired with more delicate florals like sweet peas and baby’s breath.

Simplicity And Elegance With Every Bite

Let the flavor do the talking. Goodbye tiers and toppers, hello ribbons, edible pearls, and fresh florals! Within the wedding cake category, simplicity is key this summer. Many brides and grooms are opting for sleeker and more minimalist designs like sheet cakes as opposed to a traditional layered confection, with decorative accents also toning down accordingly.

Cohesive Vibes Are In

Gone are the days of copy-and-paste color schemes–creating a palette of unique shades for your special day is the new standard! Leaning into tonality allows your bridal party to flex their personal style while maintaining a sense of cohesion that will make for a picture-perfect celebration. Consider having your guests dress in complementary tones, too! 

We’re seeing all aspects of the rainbow come into play this summer, from pastel blushes and baby blues to splashy combos of saturated hues like cobalt blue, citron yellow, and peach fuzz, Pantone’s color of the year.

Experiential F&B Service

We’re a bit biased, but this is one of our favorite rising trends in the eventing industry at the moment! From prep to plate, guests love a gastronomic spectacle, and culinary teams love echoing the location and climate of the nuptials; creating an idyllic sense of continuity throughout the full celebration. This new era of chef interactions includes chef action stations, made-to-order elements, carving displays, and live fire grilling (our personal favorite).
