For colder weather, brides choose wraps of faux-fur, velvet, heavy satin, or pashmina which are not basically used in Philippines.

Some brides are placing their veils directly on their hair or using a single silk flower for a simple yet classic look. Hair ornaments such as hairpins, brooches, and hair vines made with crystals, pearls, rhinestones, and/or silk flowers are still commonly used.

Beautiful tiaras and combs made with rhinestones, crystals or pearls have been the trend for many occasions and seasons and seem to be barely used as more crystal-embellished dress designs takes place.

For a black-themed wedding, you must consider adding a bit of color to your motif to avoid it looking a bit dull. A contrasting color like gold or bright pink perfectly contemplates a black table cloth. However, these accents should not overpower the black and white color.

The  guest and the staff’s attire should be black for the details to match. The bride has a choice on wearing either a black or white color — white for her to stand out among the crowd, or the best black dress to highlight her special day.

The Wedding invitations of course, and other wedding details should also match your black motif.

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.

“Sa love life ko, wala na akong mahihiling pa. Tingin ko ganito ‘yung binigay ng Diyos sa akin. Lahat ng tao naghihirap sa love life, may mga pagdadaanan tayo. Ngayon nakabawi naman kasi masaya na ako. Tahimik ang love life, may trabaho, so sa tingin ko wala na akong mahihiling pang iba. Masaya ako sa minamahal ko ngayon at mamahalin ko siya nang sobra. Tahimik lang, masaya kaming ganito.”
