Wedding season is in full swing & while the summer months are a popular time for nuptials, we’re loving the injection of a whole new host of trends, which are definitely keeping things interesting and wowing guests in the process. If there’s one thing that we love it’s a wedding with a difference so if you’re looking for tradition with a twist, check out the summer wedding trends which have caught our eye.

Colour burst

One thing which brides and grooms aren’t afraid of this season is colour with a favouritism towards bold and beautiful hues. Thankfully, a choice of sophisticated tones keeps things more luxe than lary. The key here is to choose just a few complementary hues, which will keep things refined and give the eye something to focus on. And rather than splashing colour everywhere, couples are choosing one dynamic tone to make a statement in the form of creative centrepieces, beautiful bouquets or table linens. How bold will you go?

Metallic mayhem

If pops of colour aren’t your forte, the flip of this is glitz and glam with versatile metallics. Depending on their use, metallics offer the chance to be elegant, whimsical or ethereal, while their combination with black offers a glimpse into a bygone era, Great Gatsby style! For ultra-glam, go all or nothing with full length embellished bridesmaid gowns or nod to the trend with statement jewellery and finishing touches.

Cakes get naked!

While the traditional wedding cake is typically finished with white icing, the wedding cake is undergoing a serious make-under, with more and more couples opting to serve naked cakes. These pared-down creations are still an absolute treat with the texture of the cakes and fillings taking centre stage. Subdued yet stylish!

Botanical elements

Brides are going back to nature with a focus on gorgeous greenery elements for summer. This chic boho botanical treatment is taking many forms with greenery including ivy, magnolia and smilax becoming visually appealing in beautiful bouquets, centrepieces, signage and decor.

Interactive stations

Guests are definitely being treated to a night to remember with brides and grooms giving great consideration to evening entertainment. Encouraging guests to interact is top of their lists with confetti bars, selfie stations and candy carts proving popular. Looking to add the wow factor to your reception?

Regal accessories

Brides are ditching veils in favour of creating some serious drama as the summer wedding trend sees a preference for majestic crowns like this one from Megan Therese Couture Bridal Accessories, which strike a perfect balance between bohemian and regal elegance. If forgoing a veil isn’t for you, choose a layer of tulle with a striking headpiece to up your glam game. And the best thing of all… statement pieces are having a real fashion moment so they’ve got re-wear potential!

Rule breaking brides

And then there are the brides so unique that they turn tradition on its head, breaking all the fashion rules in the process. Rock and roll infused weddings where anything goes sees pairing leather jackets and floral crowns with dresses with a difference, while jumpsuits and separates are prefered for their leading ladies. That’s one band everyone wants to be a part of!
