Planning a summer wedding involves detailed organization and consideration of various elements to ensure everything goes smoothly. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
1. Set a Budget
- Determine your overall budget.
- Allocate funds for venue, catering, attire, decor, photography, entertainment, and other expenses.
2. Choose a Date and Venue
- Select a date that suits you and key guests.
- Book a venue early, considering both outdoor and indoor options in case of inclement weather.
- Check availability of the venue on your chosen date.
3. Create a Guest List
- Draft a guest list with input from both families.
- Send save-the-dates as soon as the venue is booked, followed by formal invitations about 8-12 weeks before the wedding.
4. Hire Key Vendors
- Book essential vendors such as a caterer, photographer, florist, and DJ/band.
- Confirm contracts and details well in advance.
5. Plan the Ceremony
- Choose an officiant and discuss the ceremony format.
- Plan the order of events, including readings, vows, and any special traditions.
6. Plan the Reception
- Create a timeline for the reception, including cocktail hour, dinner, speeches, and dancing.
- Select a menu with seasonal foods and drinks.
- Arrange for decorations, keeping in mind a summer theme with bright, light colors and flowers in season.
7. Consider Guest Comfort
- Provide shade and hydration if the ceremony or reception is outdoors.
- Consider providing fans or parasols to keep guests cool.
- Think about bug control measures like citronella candles or bug spray stations.
8. Choose Attire
- Select your wedding dress and suits considering the summer heat; lighter fabrics like linen or chiffon are ideal.
- Coordinate bridesmaid and groomsmen outfits in summer-appropriate fabrics and colors.
9. Finalize Details
- Arrange transportation for the wedding party and guests if necessary.
- Confirm final headcount with the caterer.
- Plan the seating arrangement for the reception.
- Organize a rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding.
10. Prepare for the Big Day

- Relax and enjoy, knowing you’ve planned everything in detail.
11. Post-Wedding Tasks
