Summer Wedding Trends cont ...
for your wedding day is another way couples are getting creative with their rings ; taking a stone from a mother or grandmother ’ s ring and setting it in a new , bespoke piece .
BOUNTIFUL BANQUETS
Banquet style table décor is set to be a hot trend this summer . Think medieval-style silver cups , hand picked flowers in mismatched vases and tall hurricane lamps - with flameless candles of course . You can ’ t go far wrong with this style because you don ’ t have to worry about everything being in-keeping , in fact the quirkier the better works brilliantly .
HEADS ABOVE
Veils are a classic wedding symbol and a traditional accessory , but this summer brides are mixing it up - enter the statement headband . From jewel-adorned pieces to bands in vibrant hues , the modern bride is opting for the veil ’ s cooler cousin . To nail this style , the bigger the better - don ’ t be afraid to be bold and choose a real statement piece .
SOLE MATES
Given the amount of time newlyweds spend on their feet during their wedding day , it ’ s perhaps no surprise that there ’ s been a shift in shoe choices , especially for weddings taking place in warmer weather . Now , many brides are choosing to wear flats in place of heels , favouring the likes of flip flops , sandals and even trainers . Grooms are getting in on the action too ; espadrilles , loafers and box-fresh sneakers are replacing the more traditional dress shoe .
YOUR NAME IN LIGHTS
Neon signs took the wedding industry by storm throughout 2022 and it looks as though they will be sticking around a little while longer … Whether a more generic sign like ‘ see you on the dancefloor ’ or something especially made like the couple ’ s new marital name , a neon sign is bound to become a hot selfie-spot throughout the day .
A SLICE OF SIMPLICITY
Over recent years , weddings have featured everything from doughnut walls and naked cakes to marbled marvels and drip cakes , but this summer couples are opting for something sweet yet simple . White-iced wedding cakes work for pretty much any theme as they provide a blank canvas on which the couple can add their own personal touches . Some are opting for a few simple flowers , others a monogrammed topper - but the key to nailing this trend is to always take the less is more approach and let the ivory tiers do the talking .
