Summers here! Your Summer Inspirational Moodboard...

Yay, summer is finally here, we thought it was never going to arrive!

The sunshine keeps us all feeling happy, those beautiful flowers start to come out and everyone feels like a holiday is well due! Whether you stay in the UK visiting a local beach, or flying away to the Maldives, here is your Summer Wedding Inspirational Moodboard.

Ultraviolet purple is the Pantone colour for 2018, however there are some subtle ways that you can incorporate this tone into your wedding day to create an elegant on-trend wedding design.

Our Summer Wedding Moodboard's main image is a beautiful wedding setup in a romantic chateaux in France. A perfect location for a summer themed wedding. This table setup features a beige table linen design which compliments the French Chateaux architecture so well. Bringing together those stone inspired tones with white florals and green botanicals. Clean white napkins never fail to add elegant to your wedding table design, with a little foliage wrapped with twine to complete the look. Always remember the tea lights! They add effect to any wedding table design and give off a romantic feel. Use mis-match vintage glasses to add something a little special to your decor.

Ask your caterer to knock up some summer inspired cocktails and top these off with fresh edible flowers. They look pretty and can add a new element of flavour to your guests cocktails. They look pretty and quite frankly are amazing to photograph, especially if you're a lover of fine art photography.

3D Bridal Gowns are in-trend and absolutely fit with a summer theme. The bridal gown featured is designed by Milamira Bridal. Their shop can be found on Etsy and really is worth taking a look at if you already have your bridal gown and want to add some 3D Floral shrug to your wedding look. The gown featured has a beautiful ivory satin belt which creates a bow at the back to bring the look altogether.

The bridal bouquet featured gives you some inspiration for adding those purple hues to your wedding design. Lavender tends to come out around June or July and only lasts around 3-4 weeks. So if you're not using dried lavender and want fresh, do ask your florist if they can source this for you. We LOVE peonies and this bouquet features pinks and whites with some peach roses in there too. Peonies tend to bloom around April through to June so these are a definite summer flower for your bridal bouquet. Peonies actually only last 7-10 days once they bloom, so your florist will be able to advise you how to store your bridal bouquet if it isn't delivered on the day of your wedding.
