I have a romantic treat for you today! In the form of the most lovely garden wedding inspiration board in a pretty palette of soft pink and lush green. I just love these soft shades against lush garden surroundings. Add a splash of palest yellow and a hint of blush, and you have a palette that is ethereal, unashamedly feminine and utterly delightful; it really couldn’t be any more perfect for Summer!

Or more on trend! Because this soft shade of pink, otherwise known as Rose Quartz was one of Pantone’s colours of the year for 2016. For full on romance think an abundance of flowers – we’re talking arches, garlands, and cascading bouquets of timeless seasonal blooms.

Weave chandaliers and precious metals into your decor for some added opulence in your garden oasis. And of course my favourite tip for adding luxury to your celebration, add texture by mixing delicate summer fabrics like tulle and linen, with rich velvets, silk and lace.

And don’t forget to think about how you can make your exit as wow as your entrance! How about a boat ride across a still lake as the sun sets? It would make for some truly stunning portraits and an unforgettable end to your big day.

Now, how dapper is that linen hued double breasted suit? Just perfect for a modern-vintage groom in the Summer heat! And can’t you just imagine how adorable a mini-me ring bearer would look in the same outfit?? Mismatch the groomsmen in similar colour trousers with waistcoats, instead of a jacket, for an elegant but relaxed look. Then you can always add a pop of colour with their bow ties!

I love this whole colour palette and wedding theme don’t you? If its early days in your wedding planning process, or you’re just not sure, and what to see more wedding colours and inspiration boards perfect for Summer don’t go anywhere because there are plenty in CVB’s archives! Like this beach inspired beauty in sea, sand & pearl, and this fun mint & peach palette just perfect for a garden wedding, or for a trio that truly evokes the long days of Summer take a peek at this red, white & blue beauty – so much more elegant than it sounds. And last but not least, how about these 5 perfect palettes for a Summer wedding?
