Summer is a popular season for weddings, meaning your friends could be attending 2 or more this season alone. And while your day is about celebrating your love, it doesn't mean you don't want to stand out. Here are 6 ways to make your summer wedding unique and memorable for you and your guests.


Incorporate A Theme Or Personal Touches

Choose a theme that reflects your interests or personality, and carry it throughout the wedding, from the invitations and decor to the food and favors. For example, if you and your partner are foodies, you could have a wedding with a culinary theme, featuring gourmet dishes and a farm-to-table catering concept.

Offer Interactive Or Experiential Elements

Give your guests something to do and remember beyond just watching the ceremony and reception. Consider setting up a photo booth with fun props, hiring a musician or DJ who can get everyone on the dance floor, or offering activities such as lawn games or a DIY cocktail bar.

Choose A Seasonal Or

Local Menu

In addition to having a unique theme, you can also make your wedding stand out by offering a menu that showcases the best of the season or the local area. For a summer wedding, this could include dishes made with fresh, in-season produce, or seafood caught locally. You could also offer a selection of local craft beers or wines to pair with the meal.

Choose A Unique Color Palette

Rather than going with traditional wedding colors such as white, ivory, and pastels, consider selecting a bold and unexpected color scheme. This could be as simple as using a single bold color as an accent or choosing a range of bright and vibrant shades. This can add a modern and stylish twist to your wedding, and make it stand out from the crowd.

Create A Memorable Send-Off

Instead of the traditional sparkler or confetti exit, come up with a unique way to end the night. For example, you could have a lantern send-off or even a parade with decorated cars or bikes. Be sure to check local ordinances if you're hoping to do something that involves releasing anything into the air or water. Certain locations will have restrictions.

Host A Multi-Day Celebration

Rather than just having a single wedding day, consider extending the celebration over the course of a few days. This can be a great way to give your guests more time to get to know each other and relax, and it also allows for more activities and events. For example, you could have a welcome barbecue or pool party the day before the wedding, and a day-after brunch or outing for those who are able to stick around.

By thinking outside the box and incorporating personal touches, you can make your summer wedding truly unique and memorable. So go ahead and let your creativity shine, and make your big day truly one-of-a-kind. If you're looking for somewhere to host your wedding of up to 50 guests, The Wildflower is the perfect place!
