The summer season is ideal for out of doors weddings. Long lazy afternoons and stunning sunsets make the perfect backdrop for being married. Although sunsets cannot be ordered at will, if you are one of the lucky ones, you might just experience one at your wedding. Exchanging vows in the fresh air makes for something completely different.

Organizing a garden wedding means you are able to keep things simple. Fresh cut flowers such as sunflowers make for striking centerpieces, and fresh fruit and even vegetables may be used in your flower arrangements. One very good summery idea is to fill glass vases or bowls with bright yellow lemons and make use of gingham tablecloths. To light the garden you can use candles, or even string up lanterns.

Summer is a time of heat and in many areas also humidity. This allows brides to wear a sleeveless dress and hair should probably be professionally dressed in an up style. This will ensure that it stays in place, the style looks elegant and will ensure that the bride is confident. The last thing a bride wants to do is fight with her hair because of hot humid weather.

This also goes for the bridal gown too, the hot weather means that the a traditional wedding dress does not have a place and the dress should not be too bulky. Use of light summer fabrics is recommended, and silk, organdy, chiffon, crepe and georgette are recommended.

Although many brides have enjoyed the use of color as part of their wedding over the past few years, times are changing. Today’s brides are choosing to return to the traditional white wedding. And a white wedding gown can look absolutely stunning when surrounded by beautiful and colorful flowers.

If you are planning to have a garden wedding then the following seasonal wedding shopping guide is definitely something you will need:

Spring: Choose pastel shades of blue, pink, purple and light yellow.
Summer: Baby blue, magenta, canary yellow and white are ideal for a summer garden wedding.
Fall: This is the time for the rich colors of burgundy, red, burnt orange, gold and brown.
Winter: Winter garden weddings look wonderful with white, red, deep wine, green and, of course, chocolate brown.
