What’s Trending for Summer Wedding Themes?
At Court Colman, we've had the pleasure of hosting many spectacular weddings, especially during the summer months. Our wedding packages cater to every type of couple, whether you're dreaming of a balmy summer evening ceremony with our Twilight wedding package or have a unique vision in mind. We're here to help you bring your dream wedding to life with a wide range of themes.
Celebrate your special day with the timeless charm and elegance of a bygone era. Imagine classic decor like red roses, an elegant sit-down meal, and unique black and white photography outdoors. For the menu, we recommend vintage-inspired dishes and the classic Victoria sponge cake, which could even be enjoyed outdoors with a glass of fizz in the garden. Guests can get into the spirit with attire from the 1920s to the 1950s, adding an extra layer of nostalgia to your celebration.
England's lush greenery provides the perfect backdrop for garden weddings, a classic choice that never goes out of style. At Court Colman, the historic Tudor manor adds a unique charm to your garden wedding. Invite your guests to celebrate in a romantic outdoor setting, serving classic English drinks like fruity Pimms and crisp wines. For food options, consider sourcing local produce from the Welsh countryside to complement your theme and add a touch of regional flavour.
For a more laid-back vibe, the bohemian theme is always a hit with couples. There's something undeniably charming about a natural colour palette and whimsical details. Picture a gazebo adorned with sparkling fairy lights for a romantic evening setting, folk-inspired entertainment, and leaning into the beauty of the outdoors for your ceremony. Decorate an arch with fresh or dried florals, have your guests dress casually (barefoot even), and offer a finger-food style buffet and cocktail station to keep things relaxed and fun.
Honour timeless customs with a sophisticated and elegant celebration. Opt for classic attire, formal ceremonies, and a touch of grandeur that never goes out of style. Think formal dinner with traditional courses, a beautifully adorned wedding cake, and guests dressed to the nines. This theme adds a sense of timeless elegance to your special day, creating a memorable experience for everyone involved.
For a fun, relaxed atmosphere, a festival-inspired wedding is perfect. Think colourful tents, live music, and outdoor games. Serve a variety of street food options like gourmet burgers and wood-fired pizzas, and set up drink stations with craft beers and cocktails. Encourage guests to dress in casual, bohemian clothing to fully embrace the festive vibe.
A beachfront wedding is the epitome of summer romance, complete with the sound of waves, soft sand, and stunning sunsets. Whether you choose to hold your wedding abroad or on an English shore, the seaside offers a unique charm and fantastic photo opportunities. Imagine exchanging vows with the sea as your backdrop and celebrating with a relaxed, coastal reception.
How to Choose Your Summer Wedding Theme
Choosing the perfect summer wedding theme involves reflecting on your personal style, the venue, and the atmosphere you want to create. We invite you to think about the aspects of summer that resonate most deeply, is it English gardens, the lull of waves on the beach, or perhaps the joy of the vibrant festival season?
