You Are My Sunshine – Inspiration for a Yellow Summer Wedding

Following my Cranberry Christmas post, I wanted to create a more southern-hemisphere seasonal inspiration board, for brides-to-be planning a Summer wedding. Inspired by the Hawkes Bay sun (which admittedly of late seems to have taken a holiday of its own!) I am loving this vintage yellow……

Summer provides the perfect opportunity to be brave and bold with colour and this rich and warm, golden yellow that just shouts SUNSHINE is sensational as a foundation colour or for pops of colour for a Summer wedding. It can be paired perfectly with a lush green, or soft warm browns, or with bold brights like red and blue as seen at this rather fabulous wedding on CK Metro Photographs of Australia.
