Very much inspired by a county setting, as well as fresh citrus, this theme covers all things green. Not only in the color sense, but also in the Eco-Friendly sense. Fruit is a great detail to incorporate into your decor, it’s inexpensive and a nice touch to a variety of wedding themes. Buying locally, or even growing your own also helps your Green Chic wedding status. Consider green apples, limes and kiwi.

Planning your Honeymoon can be stressful, even if it’s not done alongside other wedding preparations. Many couples seek the refuge and relaxation that a Honeymoon can provide; a vacation to recover from the chaos of wedding planning, and much needed time alone with you and your new spouse. Whether you plan to jump on a plane the day after your wedding, or wait until later in the year, planning the perfect Honeymoon is essential. Even if you have been on a vacation with your significant other before your vows, a Honeymoon is a unique holiday that symbolizes the beginning of your lives together.
Depending on your personal preference, the type of vacation you’d like to plan will vary. From adventurous activities and exotic locations, to relaxing resorts and spa days, there is a vacation out there for every couple. Your first obstacle will be to decide what type of vacation you’re looking for, before you even choose the destination. Those looking for seclusion and privacy will require a different destination than those in search of shopping and fine dining opportunities. City, island, and countryside are just a few of the possible backdrops for your Honeymoon.
The most iconic vacation options for Honeymooners are cruise and resort packages. All inclusive vacation packages are a popular choice among newlyweds looking for a romantic holiday. The main reason being: it relieves all the stress that can come along with vacations abroad. Purchasing a package deal arranges everything for you, which means all you have to do is show up. The last thing a bride and groom want to do is be tied down by more planning, so the Honeymoon shouldn’t be yet another detail to worry about. Another reason why these types of vacations are so popular is because they can easily be purchased by family as a wedding gift. Maybe the father of the bride would like to buy something for his daughter and her new husband, but isn’t confident in his ability to arrange everything from planet tickets to a rental car on his own. Buying a Honeymoon package is a great way to provide the newlyweds with some much needed relief, by setting them off on their dream holiday with no planning required.
Both cruises and resorts have much to offer even the most seasoned of travelers. From comfortable accommodation to exciting facilities, you can have it all. Restaurants, organized activities, spas, gyms, shows and other entertainment are brought all together in one place. Both options are also very diverse in their destination possibilities. Cruise itineraries span the world, from tropical climates to arctic waters, you can find one that suits your traveling tastes. Resorts can also be found on secluded islands, snowy mountains, and other diverse locations. Learn to scuba dive, head out on a safari, relax with a spa treatment, enjoy a guided tour around an unfamiliar city, or just soak up the sun on a picturesque beach. With a Honeymoon vacation package, you can’t go wrong.

Following our summer wedding inspiration week, here is a perfect, real wedding example of a sunny, yellow, lemon theme as seen here. Daniel and Laura were married in a romantic, rustic, country side wedding complete with a barn. Lemons were used as decoration details through out their theme, and talk about budget friendly decor. It adds a unique, simple touch without breaking the bank.

Lemonade goes hand in hand with summer. Bright yellow sun dresses, fun, retro details, and clean designs are perfect for a summer wedding. Nothing says fresh and happy like lemons. This makes your reception food and drink options a breeze. If you’re looking for a more modern theme, as opposed to the “country life” lemonade stand, try lemon martinis. The lemon ice cream in a hollowed lemon fruit bowl is a fantastic touch. Your candy bar can be filled with lemon drops, yellow rock candy, brightly colored macaroons, and of course, lemon cake! All these details make for a refreshing theme to cool down your wedding on a hot, summer day.
Stay tuned for pictures of a real wedding that uses these details to accomplish a stunning summer ceremony!
