Summer is here and we thought we would share with you what you maybe seeing at those summer weddings you are attending. This season is all about vibrant colors and using flowers throughout your entire wedding.
We love all these bright, colorful flowers featured in wedding bouquets, ceremony arrangements, wedding cakes and as reception centerpieces. Talk with your florist about the design of these flowers. They'll know what's on trend, in season and will work with you to display your style.
On your perfect day, you want the perfect bouquet. Next to you, the flowers are poised to be the talk of the day (and possibly long after). Here are five summer 2015 trends in bouquets that can give you an idea of what you want.
Pastels are the perfect color scheme for feeling like a princess. Once pastels took the color crown, they never went away, and now they are the biggest color trend of 2015. The best flowers to use are garden or hybrid tea roses, mingling with smaller flowers like freesia and some cute berries for an extra pastel punch (and a little light green, allowing you to shy away from dark foliage among your lighter colors.) Roses are always in-season and are available in many pastel hues, including pink and yellow. Pastel will add a splash of color to your white ensemble without overwhelming it.
If pastels are too, well, pastel for you, think about making a statement with bright, bold, large flowers open against each other. They’ll be practically fighting for superiority, but your florist will easily be able to balance them out so that there is harmony in the battleground (namely, your bouquet holder.) This will make quite a statement against your white dress!
Whether you prefer large or small flowers, there is no color scheme more classic, and yet still a strong trend, than white. Kim Kardashian’s wedding was pure white, with the added statement of clean lines and no exposed stems. All greenery was hidden behind voluminous ribbon to emphasize the pure white blossoms, and that look is easily attainable for you. Your florist has many bouquet holders and ribbon styles to choose from if you decide to go the covered-stem route.
What’s more fun than a bit of sparkle? Your florist has tons of choices in bejeweled accents for any style of bouquet. All shapes, sizes and colors of sparkly goo-gah are at your fingertips; some are threaded onto wire to go around the stems, others can be pinned to the flowers themselves. Glitter can be minimal, tucked into the blossoms to catch the eye, or it can be an in-your-face statement to your guests: “I am the princess today!” Whatever you choose, a glittery bouquet is a trend-forward option.
If you want a more natural look, your florist can make your bouquet appear as though you picked it straight from a garden or meadow. It can look as wild and untamed as you like; your florist will be able to secure it in such a way that it will stay together. For a really “from the garden” look, consider integrating flowering herbs as well as flowers.
Your wedding is your day, and the bouquet is part of the centerpiece – which is you! Trend-forward and never passé, you are the star. Good luck!

Summer is the time for weddings. Wonderful colors, flowers and the weather are just some of the things that makes this the ideal season for weddings. There are plenty of great reasons to plan your wedding for the summer. However, along with everything else, there are downfalls. So, Wedding And Party Network is here to help with all your summer wedding planning needs. From the do's and don't's to tips and ideas, we've got all the wedding tips for a beautiful summer wedding.
Along with summer comes the heat. You may be planning an early summer wedding, mid or late. However, you can never depend on the weather. It switches up daily and sometimes hourly, so you must be ready for the heat. Are you planning an outside wedding for the summer? Well, you may enjoy soaking up that vitamin c, but some guests may not or can't.
Therefore, you must offer something cool and relaxing for your guests to retreat to. A place where they will be able to relax and retreat from the hot sun. Prepare a beautiful white tent that provides shade, maybe even portable fans or air conditioning, that features tubs of ice-cold water and beverages. A possible fun feature that may fit your wedding theme, is featuring a fun lemonade stand or ice cream stand. How fun would that be! Plus, it would give a refreshing retreat from the weather.
Here are a few more tips for a summer wedding.
Next, think about your wedding flowers. You have so many varieties of flowers that are in season, it won't hurt to go with lots of flowers. Stick with bright and colorful flowers such as, gerbera daisies, yellow calla lilies, orchids, peonies or sunflowers. Stay with what's in season since there are a variety of beautiful flowers in season.
Don't forget about the wedding favors. Especially if you've planned an outdoor wedding and your guests have braved the heat. Send your guests home with potted flowers, fun floral seeds, flip-flops, sand dollars, seashells or fruit that's in season. Always keep in mind the theme of your wedding and what's in season. If you do this, you'll be sending your guests home with a lovely wedding favor they'll enjoy.
The main thing you want to keep in mind when planning your summer wedding is the heat. Summer is a great time to have your wedding, however, the heat is unpredictable. So, keep in mind these wedding tips and your wedding will be a dream come true.

The Guide to Wedding Flowers by Season
Planning your wedding day is like baking a great chocolate cake. You want to use a tried-and-true recipe, the best ingredients for the most flavor, and all the right tools for a glorious, rich dessert that looks and tastes like a million bucks-but without breaking the bank.
One of the most important decisions you will make about your wedding day is what flowers you will use for your wedding bouquet, bridesmaids bouquets, wedding centerpieces, boutonnieres, flower girl flowers and pew flowers. Nothing sets the mood for a wedding like flowers.
As the second most expensive item you'll choose (next to the wedding gown), it's important to choose wisely so that you get the most for your money and the atmosphere you desire. Just as in preparing a delicious meal, buying seasonal and local ingredients gives you the best results, both in expense and flavor. The same is true for flowers. Most flowers are distinctive to the seasons, so if you can take advantage of their ready availability, you will not only save money, but also have the best seasonal "ingredients" for your wedding day.Keep in mind that it's not necessary to use all the same flowers for all your wedding needs. Using a variety of flowers, colors and designs is the trend for today's weddings. According to leading floral expert, Rebecca Cole, "Wedding flowers follow fashion trends, and today, individuality, rather than convention is in style."
While most flowers bloom in a particular season, there are several that bloom year-round. Roses, anthuriums, orchids, tropical flowers, lilies and gerbera daisies are available anytime of the year. Continue reading "Seasonal Wedding Flower Guide" »
