Your summer wedding should echo the romance, vibrancy and elegance of the season. Enchant your guests and leave a lasting impression by incorporating these five trends into your special day.
1. Welcome Boxes
Shower your guests with appreciation by giving them one-of-a-kind welcome boxes. This fresh take on a traditional gesture is sure to make an impact. Choose a personalized box or basket over a conventional bag; they are easier to fill, arrange and deliver. Fill your box with flowers, wine, snacks, sentimental notes and wedding weekend information for your guests to enjoy.

2. Vintage Elegance
Add personality to your décor by mixing and matching modern and vintage pieces. You can attain this balance between old and new in your tablescapes by using vintage pewter vases alongside modern, airy glassware. The contrast between the intricacy of the vases and the simplicity of the glassware will transcend time.

3. Innovative Invitations
Be bold and choose statement-making invitations that push the envelope. The designs will serve as a precursor to the style and sophistication of your wedding day. If custom stationery is out of your budget, dress up stock invitations by wrapping lace, leather or ribbon around each for an added touch.

4. Ethereal Hair
Summer hairstyles should be delicate, feminine and full of romance. For a dynamic and multifaceted look, mix different textures, such as layering braids upon curls or gentle waves. Or wear your hair down and naturally parted to allow for comfort and showcase your natural beauty. No matter what you choose, make sure to consider your dress, face shape and comfort of the style.
