Now that the warmer weather is teasing us into thinking summer is around the corner, we can start thinking about all those summer weddings. Are you going to be a summer bride this year? Perhaps you are having an English summer inspired wedding theme or maybe you are having a garden party wedding?

Tradition tells us that most weddings take place in the summer and although there is a growing trend to marry during winter months, July & August are still the largest wedding months in this country.

So, if you are getting married this – or next – summer, then read on as we tell you how you can create a garden inspired wedding that will not be spoiled by the British weather!

First and foremost you must consider your colors. Choose sage greens, pinks, yellows and lilacs for a truly summer feel. These colors will make an appearance in bridesmaid dresses, floral arrangements, table decor, invitations and garden wedding favors.

Your garden inspired wedding theme absolutely has to take place outside. If you are not ready to play Russian roulette with the British weather, you could always have a marquee. Trellis tables and garden chairs make perfect reception tables for your garden wedding party. Cover tables with pastel colored gingham table cloths or stick to plain white. Remember, anything floral is key to creating this look so scatter tables with pretty flowers such as daisies or hydrangeas in pastel shades. Fill pastel colored tin favor pails with talenteds of colored sherbet, Dolly Mixtures or fruity jelly beans! Tie their handles with coordinating ribbon.

Complete the look by hanging lanterns from the surrounding trees and decorate trees with lots of bunting.

Water your guests with fizzy wine or pimms filled with fresh strawberries. Enjoy a yummy barbecue and give guests a slice of deliciously light sponge wedding cake as a dessert.
