Martha Stewart's Summer Wedding Tips

Summer is one of the most popular bridal seasons. Still, brides are trying to find ways to mix it up a little bit. Here are a few great summer tips from Martha Sterwart's Wedding site:

Sunny Displays

Ripe apricots become place cards at a summertime wedding or shower. Write names on strips of thin art paper; use a pencil to curl ends in opposite directions. Hang paper from bamboo toothpicks (available from kitchen-supply stores) inserted through apricot tops.

Dinner at Dusk


Cast a warm glow from above. A midsummer night's meal at an outdoor reception is served on the lawn under tall maple trees strung with lanterns hanging on chains from strong branches. Small and large, these lamps hold ivory tapers, their bases disappearing in a thick layer of fresh, fragrant rose petals.

Summer Weddings: An Outdoor Occasion


In the summer months, a lovely wedding location can often be found outdoors. A dramatic backdrop--the ocean, towering trees, mountains, or even your own luscious garden--will help make the ceremony itself more memorable. Think of the wedding details, such as decorations, foods, favors, and apparel, as complementing the natural beauty of your surroundings.
