Summer Bridesmaid Dresses Ideas

If you're getting married in the heat of summer, be kind to your bridesmaids by dressing them in a lightweight fabric like chiffon.

Ocean Blues
If you're marrying by the sea, why not dress your bridesmaids to match?

As for the color, that's entirely up to you, but let us suggest some of our favorite summer-friendly palettes and brand-new bridesmaid dresses to choose from.


Brights
Nothing says summer like bright tropical hues. These juicy hues look great on lots of skin tones, and your bridesmaids will really stand out in a crowd.

Barely-There Colors
Colors that are lighter than air (think ivory, white, pale lilac) look particularly lovely in the warm-weather months.

Hunger Games Ideas For Your Wedding

Channeling Katniss

You may not be up for the Katniss look on your big day like in this Hunger Games-inspired wedding shoot, but you can channel Katniss at a camping-themed bachelorette party by taking archery lessons with your girlfriends. It's an outdoorsy twist on the standard girls' night!

Bow and Arrows

Using bow and arrows as props for your e-shoot is a fun way to incorporate the story. And go above and beyond like in this Hunger Games shoot with a bouquet of gold-tipped heart arrows.

Paper Crane Mockingjays

Gold origami paper cranes made to resemble tiny mockingjays decorate the ceremony backdrop for this Hunger Games wedding shoot.

Carnation Wedding Ideas

A Bold Bunch

One look at this handheld knockout and you'll wonder why carnations were ever considered filler flowers. Aside from a few ranunculus and a halo of wire vine, they make up the whole stunning shebang.

Blooming Sweets

Ring multitiered cakes with flowers, for example, crown cupcakes with single blooms, and cover a one-layer confection with a wreath of blossoms. To fashion the table swag, simply string petals on monofilament.

Bridal Boots Ideas

Long, short, furry, leather, wedge, flat or heel – boots are just bootiful in any form. These shoes are trendy, flexible in terms of style, and will keep the bride and her entourage warm and snug on the big day.

The style of boot that you choose depends entirely on the style and theme of your wedding day. Modern brides may prefer an ankle boot.

If you have chosen to wear boots on your wedding day, be sure to include some boot shots in your wedding photos. If you are expecting quite a few of your guests to arrive in their boots, make this theme fun by hiring a line-dancing instructor and having everyone get down in a boot-scooting square dance.
