Summer is the most popular time of the year to get married and we have some fun ideas to make your summer wedding unforgettable! Here at Nicky Avalo Studios, we have DJ’ed a lot of summer weddings and we’ve seen a lot of great ideas for a summer wedding! We have compiled some of our favorite ideas for an unforgettable summer wedding!
NO. 1
Festive Favors
We have seen so many great ideas for summer wedding favors and a unique wedding favor for your guests will always leave a happy memory for guests years to come! If you are planning a beach wedding, personalized hats or sunglasses are a great option! Sunglasses come in so many different colors and shapes that will be an awesome accessory all summer long! If you have already picked your color scheme, try to find sunglasses that will tie into the night.
Or if you are planning your wedding at a unique venue, try to tie in the venue as a favor. For instance, if you are getting married at a vineyard, give out mini bottle of wine or personalized wine openers as a favor.
Lastly, if you are planning a destination wedding, personalized luggage tags are always a huge hit

Summer Plants
Right now succulents are really popular and they make stunning centerpieces! Using succulents as a centerpiece will give your wedding a unique vibe that your guests will love! Don’t be discouraged to use them on your wedding day, there are so many bold colors that succulents come in, and you will be able to find ones that match your color palette.
We have seen them arranged as a centerpiece or as a wedding favor. No matter what the use of the plant, you cannot go wrong!
If you want to step outside the box and use something that not many couples are doing, try adding in some cacti to your wedding! This is such an original idea and will definitely give your wedding a unique vibe.
Lastly, don’t forget about a flower crown!

Outdoor Dining
There is nothing more romantic than eating a lovely dinner under stars with all of your friends and loved ones! It is best to have the reception later in the evening when the sun is setting so it is not too hot for you and your guests. If you truly desire to have your wedding on the earlier side, it would be a good idea to invest in some shade for your guests. You can do this by either multiple tents stationed around the reception area or one large white tent with long tables underneath. No matter which type of setup you decide on, summer night are beautiful for a wedding reception!

String Lighting
For couples that are planning their reception outdoors with tents, white string lights are a must! Adding lights to a standard white tent is an inexspensive way to set the mood for the evening. The lights are very easy to setup and take down. They can be displayed around the tent poles, across the ceiling of the tent, or both! No matter how the lights are used, you will not be disappointed

Summer Hues
The colors of summer can be bold and vibrant such as red, yellow, and orange. Or for a more laid back and warm color palette, can consist of shades of purple, blue and green. Another popular option is the rustic neutral color palette. That type of color palette consists of gray, blush, ivory, cream, and beige. Summer colors are endless and you really cannot go wrong with any color palette. You can also take advantage of Mother Nature’s bold colors.

Summer Drinks
Creating a signature drink for your wedding can be so much fun! If the weather is going to be hot, your guests will love being able to cool down with a nice refreshing signature cocktail! If you want to get really creative, you can come up with a catchy name for the beverage as well. Some refreshing drinks could be margaritas, wine spritzers, or something crafted with the summer fruits that are in season. You really cannot go wrong here and the options are endless!
