The most popular months for wedding are from June-September, the summer months.
Many brides love the alluring feel of a warm day, the sun shining, a beautiful garden or beach setting and of course the bright summer colors that come with the season.
Even though all these descriptions are nice, not every bride has to stick to the usual summer traditions.
Below we've outlined some new red hot summer wedding trends for the adventurous bride to try.
Bright, bold and dynamic flares of color.
We all know bright hues are extremely popular for summer nuptials.
But if you use too many bright colors in one space you might end up with a wedding that looks more like a circus.
Tone it down a bit with more sophisticated brights such as only two, plus one accent color.
Maybe try using a light pink and soft green accompanied by a bright orange in certain areas.
This will keep the color scheme cool, calm and collected but also give the room a summery pop.
Many brides try to recreate a day relaxing at the beach for their wedding theme.
In tradition with 'chillin' on the beach try playing some laid-back music.
Island soothing music can give the feel like the guests have really been transported to a summer paradise.
Steel drums or Hawaiian ukulele players are perfect entertainers to hire to achieve this feel.
As the evening progresses bring out the big band, fast tempo dancing music to get the guests moving.
The next suggestion is one of our favorite new summer wedding trends: wine and specialty drink smoothies.
When you think of summer, doesn't cool refreshing island drink such as Mai-tai's, frozen margaritas and blue Hawaiians come to mind? It does for you guests too.
So why not go out of the ordinary and have a couple specialty frozen drinks at your reception.
It should be rather easy for you caterer to whip up something like a wine smoothie, it only consists of: blush wine blended with ice and fruits of your choice.
Then topped off with some type of berry.
Next, try opting for a more natural looking centerpieces.
Many times summer is associated with wonderful, flavorful fruits.
So why not capitalize on this and have your centerpieces made naturally with fruit.

Grapes, grapefruit, strawberries and even watermelon can all be used to make beautiful arrangements.
Usually when we think of summer weddings, the beach naturally comes to mind first.
But for many brides their switching the tradition up a bit and giving birth to new summer themes.
Think outside of the box for this one.
Think of your special summer memories and hangouts.
Maybe you went camping and loved a certain lake growing up.
You could also try and mimic your honeymoon destination.
For example: if you are going to Hawaii for your honeymoon, try adding orchids or plumerias to bouquets and centerpieces; or add black lava looking rocks to the bottom on clear vases.
It's the small little touches that can go a along way.
