If you have decided to DIY as much of your wedding as you possibly can, here are some romantic and seasonal summer wedding ideas! 

1. Party Poppers Wedding Favors

A wedding is a celebration of love and stepping into a new era, so it’s safe to think of it as one of the biggest celebrations you’ll have in a lifetime! One O shares a super cute idea for party poppers as wedding favors that will help your guests get into the festive mood!

2. Fresh Flower Wall 

You and your guests are going to be taking numerous pictures at the reception, so it’s a great idea to set up a beautiful backdrop where all the photos can be taken! Flowers are always a charming idea, but fresh flowers are even better! Check out the full tutorial at Green Wedding Shoes!

3. Hanging Floral Hoops 

Continuing with the motive of flowers, Shifting Roots shows us that a couple of hanging hoops that are decorated with florals can be such a lovely decor element! They are really simple to make and will definitely bring an extra flavor of summer to the ambiance!

4. Paper Fan Wedding Program

The only downside of getting married in the summer is that temperatures can run pretty high, resulting in your guests feeling terribly overheated. Be as resourceful as Crafty Sticks and have your wedding program double as a paper fan! It’s a super lucrative way to take the best care of your guests!

5. Flower Crown 

The bride is the center of attention at any wedding. Many brides wear a veil or a tiara to stand out, but if you’re having a summer wedding and want your bridal attire to reflect the season, we highly recommend wearing a flower crown! 100 Layer Cakelet will show you how to make it!
