Summer Weddings
Summer weddings are very common here on California’s Central Coast and with good reason. Summer is awesome here! In this post, I’ll talk about some great things about summer weddings and some things to consider. You’ll also find some ideas for your own wedding!
Summer Wedding Cons
Let’s get the cons out of the way. There really aren’t many. The weather can be the most daunting, depending on how late in the summer you have your wedding. Here in central California, it can get pretty hot, so keep that in mind when planning the timeline. A later start time might work well for the hot summer days.

Summer Ideas
Have lots of lemonade at your summer wedding. You could even incorporate lemons into your decor if you love the yellow color. Sunflowers are another great summer flower, especially if your wedding is in late summer.
You could have a boho dress with an ice cream cake. Fresh fruit and even fruit trees can make unique and memorable decor. Bright cake colors are perfect for summer. Who ever said your wedding cake has to be white?
The bottom line is that summer weddings are full of fun and unique ideas. This is the time of year when you can really let those bold colors shine and be as vibrant as you want.
