A special theme can be a great way to give your wedding a personality. In the summer months, there are many fantastic theme options. From formal to casual, classic to whimsical, there is something for everyone. Take a look at these great summer wedding theme ideas.
Hawaiian Luau: Surely one of the most festive and fun of all summer wedding themes, and perfect for an outdoor wedding. The bride can wear a gorgeous white chiffon halter gown with beach wedding jewelry (engraved shell wedding jewelry is marvelous for the beach) and the groom can wear khaki trousers with a tasteful (not garish!) Hawaiian shirt. Greet your guests with leis and decorate the wedding with stunning tropical flowers in fuchsia and white. For the reception, think drinks served in coconuts, a pig roast and poi, and luau dancers. This is sure to be one of the most fun weddings of the summer!
Preppy Nautical: Have a classic wedding by the water with a nautical motif. The deck of a yacht club would be the ideal location for this wedding theme. Great nautical motifs include anchors, ship wheels, compasses, and of course sail boats. For the bridesmaids, navy blue cotton strapless dresses with a sash made from either white grosgrain or white rope would be great. Canvas espadrilles and pearl tin cup necklaces will finish their look perfectly. Hurricane lanterns would be the ideal centerpieces for a preppy nautical wedding.
Elegant Barbecue: For this wedding theme, your inspiration should be more along the lines of the barbeque at Twelve Oaks in Gone With the Wind than the typical backyard barbecue. It would be a great wedding idea for a reception on the lawn of an antebellum mansion or even a picturesque park. Serve all the traditional barbeque fixins' in gracious silver trays and refresh your guests with Planter's punch and fresh lemonade. This is one of the wedding themes which manages to be both elegant and super kid-friendly at the same time.
Golf: If you plan to have your reception at a country club, a golf theme would be terrific. The morning of your wedding, set up a golf tournament for the guests. You can carry your golf theme throughout the wedding, with table names like "18th Hole" and "Birdie". The men should dress in classic club attire, right down to their argyle socks. For the bridesmaids, a dress in a fabric like madras would be great. Personalized golf balls are the natural choice for the wedding favors, and the newlyweds can make their exit in a decorated golf cart.
Carnival: Perfect for the bride and groom who want a wedding that is a lot of fun, but less traditional. The ideal site would be a carousel, if you can find one in a park that can be reserved for events. Serve cotton candy, set up classic carnival games like the ring toss, and end the night with sparklers. This would be an unforgettable wedding theme.
