A summer wedding typically has at least one element of the day that's outside. Make sure you have shaded options that allow guests to avoid the sun. We love the idea of handing out parasols, fans or sunglasses as wedding favors so guests can use them during the day.

Think fresh, light and airy when it comes to food and drinks and even colors.

Need vendors for your summer wedding? These pros specialize in this style.

Summer weddings are those held in the months of June, July and August. This is considered "wedding season" and is one of the most popular times to get married. Some wedding styles we often see in summer include boho, rustic, casual, nautical and tropical weddings.

Because summer is widely considered "wedding season," you'll see higher prices on venues and vendors between Memorial Day and Labor Day so keep that in mind when figuring out your budget. There's good reason so many couples choose to get married in the summer. Inclement weather is not nearly as much of a concern, outdoor ceremonies are much easier to plan and, of course, there's an endless variety of bright blooms to include in your day!

These wedding videos will give you the inspiration for all your summer wedding, plus the vendors and brands who can make them happen.
