The best thing about having your wedding in the summer is not only the gorgeous weather or the overwhelming array of floral to choose from, but the ability to get creative when it comes to color. Bold and vibrant colors are a summer necessity, so why not consolidate those colors into your ceremony and reception. Here are some ideas using some of today's hottest color trends for summer weddings.
1. Gray with a splash of hot pink is replacing the brown and pink weddings we've seen in years passed. You may be thinking, "Gray, Really?!" But when you add a spicy color such as hot pink it makes for a very elegant and gorgeous wedding. Reconsider decorating your ceremony with gray and silver chairs, tied with big, spicy pink sashes, and have hot pink rose petals fill the aisle. You may have you bridesmaids wear whether gray or hot pink dresses, but have them wear the alternate color as a sash and/or shoe choice. For example: gorgeous silvery, gray strapless cocktail dresses accented with a hot pink sash and wedge sandal would make for a fresh take on original brides gowns. You may also Reconsider using tulips instead of roses, because they are not only a beautiful, early summer flower choice, but they also come in distinct shades of pink. Take your gray and pink theme, and carry it throughout, and go wild with it in your reception venue. Your guests will be so impressed with the elegant, yet gorgeous feel these two colors bring to the occasion, as well as, relieved to see something distinct besides all the brown and pink!

2. Navy, Blue Violet, and a touch of yellow. Blue isn't just for winter weddings anymore. When you add a splash of yellow, and play colse to with the shades of darker blue, you are setting your wedding up to be a very regal affair. Reconsider having your groomsmen wear dark blue or dark gray tuxes with a spicy yellow tie and pocket square, and pick long, dark blue dresses for your bridesmaids. consolidate most of your yellow in your flower choices and accents, for instance you can use flowers such as calla lilies, alstroemeria, chrysanthemums, and roses which all come in shades of spicy yellow. You can use the yellow flowers to accent your tables, your cake, and in your bouquets. Reconsider having navy blue table linens and chair covers, with spicy yellows and blue floral centerpieces on each table. You can get fun with your bridal gown, by maybe wearing spicy yellow shoes, or having yellow flowers put into your hair. No matter how you spin it, dark blue and yellow will set your wedding up to be fit for a queen.
3. Red and purple are two hot colors, that are perfect for a hot, mid summer wedding. Reconsider using a dark, vibrant red and a darker purple with a touch of pale or lighter purple. The two colors no ifs ands or buts go well together and can be used in a collection of ways throughout your wedding. Reconsider your bouquets first, do you want them to be mostly red or mostly purple, and build for there. For instance, red gerbera daisies, red roses, with a few purple roses and dahlias would make a gorgeous bouquet and then you could put your bridesmaids in dark purple dresses, and have your groomsmen wear matching purple ties. Reconsider serving red sangria while cocktail hour, and decorating your tables with dark purple table linens and chair covers, but use red in your chargers and place settings. Red and purple is certainly a color scheme you can go wild with and use in every aspect of your wedding.
4. Aqua blue and gold. Aqua blue is certainly a hot color this season from clothes to make-up, so why shouldn't it be a hot wedding color? Aqua blue and gold are great for an Oceanside, beach themed wedding, because they give a clean, yet elegant vibe to any affair. Reconsider using mostly aqua blue from your short, cocktail style bridesmaids dresses to your table linens, but then use gold as your accent color such as in your place settings and to give your cake a regal look. A great idea, is to use gold chairs and to tie spicy aqua blue sashes colse to each one. You can use these chairs in your ceremony and while your reception. Flowers should be minimal with this color scheme, but if you are wondering what type of flowers to use with such an odd color scheme, you should Reconsider all gold bouquets with a touch of yellow. You can have your florist uses flowers such as gold and soft yellow roses, asiatic lilies, and chrysanthemums. Have the bouquets tied together with gold ribbon and accent the bouquets with a few pearls. You may also want to Reconsider using these flowers in your centerpieces, to help tie all things together.
