Your summer wedding has the added benefit of some venue flexibility. The space you choose will have a major impact in crafting your big day so be sure to choose a location that meshes with your vision and theme. There is no right or wrong choice as it really depends on who you are as a bride and what you want your guests to experience.
Your setting and theme will affect every detail including your jewelry. You can create an entire aesthetic once this decision is made. Other than a traditional church setting, you can pick anything from the beach, to a countryside field or even a sweet garden spot.
Location, location, location
The perfect location often comes down to your gut. If it keeps you awake at night, it’s not for you. Pick what feels right to who you are a person and what you want to project to your guests.
- Classic Brides – They may choose traditional indoor venues like hotels, ballrooms or country clubs.
- Bohemian Brides – They often create their own venue by choosing wide open spaces and building a venue from scratch using string lights to define the space.
- Rustic Brides – They may pick an outdoor in-bloom garden or a winery with panoramic views.
Settings and Sparkle
Once the perfect venue is picked and the general theme is coming alive in your mind, you can base all of your other wedding decisions – down to your bridal jewelry – around this. It allows the whole event and day to have a cohesive look and allow you to feel comfortable in your special moment.
- An outdoor wedding will often have a more informal jewelry approach. Think small studs or delicate bracelets.
- A traditional or even vintage-themed wedding might feature heritage-style pieces or something classic like pearls or a pair of drop earrings.
- If retro is in your vision you may want to reach for minimalistic jewelry choices like solitaire earrings.
- With festival culture becoming so popular you may want to opt for bohemian vibes with delicate yellow gold jewelry or a necklace that dangles with layers.
- If you are saying ‘I Do’ on the beach, go for something simple but also flatter your sleeveless arms with light bangles or bracelets (and avoid a heavy cuff) for an informal look.
Whether you’re going for a classic look or making a statement at your venue, your jewelry is a symbol of your love and commitment on this day and will be cherished for many more to come.
