The summer months are traditionally the wedding season. This runs from May to August and a garden wedding is a great idea. Couples have always taken advantage of the garden wedding, but these days they have expanded this idea to the beach, the zoo and even national parks. Conventional wedding venues are being shunned in the attempt for couples to be married in different venues.

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.

If the garden setting you use is in full bloom it is hardly even necessary to purchase flowers for dÈcor. Garden weddings are elegant in their simplicity however a plan “B” must be in place for inclement weather. This is easily achieved with the hire of a wedding marquee, or the erection of temporary gazebos for the event. It is necessary to have some kind of shelter available as it can rain, even in the summer time.

Nature also has a way of creeping up on you if you are planning an outdoor wedding. So you have to take into consideration the fact that you may have a problem with flies, bees, gnats or mosquitoes. These can simply be kept under control by the use of citronella candles. They will add to the mood, they smell good and keep insects under control. Citronella incense sticks can also be used and these are available specifically for use in a garden setting. Citronella is a natural way to control insects and it actually works very well.

The evening is a good time for a garden wedding, guests are able to dress elegantly without being too casual, and there is no strict order of dress. The bride should also wear a simple dress that is not too long, and conventional wedding dresses do not really have a place in a garden setting. The bridal gown should be easy to manage and no longer than ankle length.
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.

Now when we mention the various themed weddings we can’t forget about the ones that were most famous of all. Couples have gone to Las Vegas for the Elvis wedding forever. You can go to Las Vegas, NV to have one or you can create the theme locally. Think about the movies that Elvis was in and work with it from this place.
Some people are into science fiction and there are many themes that are Star Wars or Star Trek oriented.

Although many couples still decide on a traditional wedding there are many who are changing their minds to themed weddings. These themes can be anything from a Disney wedding to a country and western theme. Do you know that your wedding shopping can only begin upon knowing which wedding theme you have chosen?
Some people ask us if they need a wedding theme in order to get people to come to their weddings since so many people are doing this now. Although the answer to this question is “no”, a theme wedding can be fun for both the couple and the guests.
One of the most interesting themes lately is the Western wedding. This can take on many different styles from having the bride and groom ride up on horseback to having country and western music. This trend seems to be getting so popular that many bands and DJ’s are adding country and western music to their playlist.
Other people go back in time to the 1920s, 1960s or 1970s. They like to pick a time when life was different and enjoy the music and the culture of that time. There are lots of pictures and party favors that you can get for this theme and guests love to party at a sock hop.
Some people really enjoy dressing up in costumes and a new trend is to do a Medieval or Renaissance Wedding. These themed weddings allow guests and bridal party to rent a costume instead of wearing formal bridal attire and the reception can be a true medieval feast.
