Our Top 5 Summer Wedding Trends

Now that we’re a good way into 2020, we wanted to share our opinions about all the wonderful new trends that we’ve seen so far this year. Although lockdown may have put a bit of a halt to many of this year’s weddings, we’re delighted to see the light at the end of the tunnel, and we’re eagerly awaiting everything returning back to normal soon. 

So, with the end of lockdown and the start of the summer season both fast approaching, we’ve dedicated this blog post to our favorite ways that you can integrate and adapt these latest wedding trends, as fantastic points of inspiration for a stunning summer wedding day. 

• An informal style of help-yourself dining and an open cocktail bar are great ways to create a bubbly chatty atmosphere as everyone nibbles on lovely little canapes together in the sunshine. This also fills the venue with a luxurious, glamorous feel (in the form of lots of treats, naturally). 
• Fun interactive games and activities for the couple and the guests to take part in together during the day – these could be anything, from croquet to giant outdoor chess, it’s all just about bringing everyone together for some light hearted outdoor summer entertainment. 
• Sentimentality – a more informal approach to toasts and speeches, plus special little touches in the form of personalised favors or notes, and even clever guest books or photo books to look back on later and remember the day by.
• Rustic boho decor – this style beautifully fuses stylish sophisticated modern design with a charming outdoor setting. Having nature play a key part in the style of the wedding guarantees that your wedding will be filled with grandeur and elegance, creating the ultimate in effortless wedding trends. 
• Having fun! In favor of a slightly more informal, light hearted way of celebrating the day, a big new trend for weddings is basically just keeping things a little bit more relaxed, and switching out a more formal, traditional day for a friendly and chatty occasion filled with personality, emotion and laughter as everyone enjoys the day together in the sunshine.
