In the Philippines, summer is the major season where couples decide to marry. It is indeed a popular season for Philippine Weddings. However, settling for common tradition is the usual wedding theme for summer weddings. Actually, you don’t have to stick with the Filipino wedding trend. Read on if you are interested for tips to spice up your summer wedding.

Color Combination

Most couples prefer the “colorful because its summer” wedding motif. As a matter of fact, you can use two colors (example is green and yellow) and just add a bit of white color for simplicity. Alternating the decorations for tablecloth and linen would provide a wonderful chessboard-like effect.

Choice of Food

Yes, it’s a wedding, but it’s still summer. Try bringing picnic food or beach food for your wedding reception. Try barbecues, fruits, and some sandwiches instead of the heavy beefy meals. There are endless choices of food that would match your summer wedding theme. Use an orange cake instead of the traditional white or chocolate wedding cake.

The Wedding Theme

Let’s face it, beach weddings and garden weddings are no longer as exciting as before due to the fact that it is more common now. If you want to remember your wedding, take it to a place where you had a special experience on a summer getaway. It can be a cabin on the woods where you and your dad camped, or if you want a more personal touch, set the wedding venue to look like where the place of your honeymoon will be.

Invitations

The usual “White Wedding Invitation” is no special than any of your guests receive from their other friends. Add a little twist to it. Maybe a little “summer” touch would complement like some sand as borders of words.

Centerpieces

For the zesty feeling, maybe you want to replace some of the flowers into fruits for centerpieces? Some grass and wooden vases also complement the summer feel of your wedding.

The Wedding Souvenirs

Instead of giving figurines or glasses, which your guests really just store in the cabinet and bury it in there for the rest of eternity, try a better option. Maybe try giving small plants for them to make blossom in memory of your wonderful union? You’re not only giving them something memorable, you’re also helping the environment.
