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.



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.

With summer fast approaching, fresh and bold wedding themes are just around the corner. Bright, fun colors with bold patterns best describe a summer wedding. Fruit is a must, whether it be lemonade or strawberry pie. Each new entry for Modern Wedding .org this next week will feature a color and theme to help you plan your seasonal wedding. Plenty of reception food and drink inspiration, bridesmaid dresses, and decor ideas to get you thinking summer!
