Here’s a light, refreshing palette for a hot summer wedding…

Bride and Bridesmaids: There are so many beautiful flowers in these shades – a florist shouldn’t have any problems creating pretty, colorful bouqets.

Groom and Groomsmen: For a summer wedding, light colored suits with crisp white shirts would probably be best for the men.

Details and Décor: I love the idea of having signature drinks at the reception or during the cocktail hour. For a summer wedding, perhaps ice cold flavored lemonades and punches. Candles are another way to add a little color to the table…but it’s probably a good idea  to stay away from scented ones.
