If you are having a summer wedding, destination wedding, or a wedding on a beach – you are probably looking for bridal and bridesmaid jewelry to match your theme or the season.
There are several trends when it comes to summer bridal jewelry and accessories; and below are the trend of color, stone, or “organic” materials.
Color: When we think of the summer season and beaches we automatically visualize blue waters, white sands, coral-colored stones, and beautiful bright sun, so blue and shades of coral are two of the more popular colors in beach wedding jewelry.
You can incorporate these colors into your accessories in many ways. When it comes to something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue – consider blue colored jewelry. There are blue gemstones such as aquamarine and topaz.
Then there are also beautiful blue stones like turquoise. Pink coral is a beautiful gemstone, it is very delicate and feminine and a great gift to give to your bridesmaid.
Stone: the month of June does not only mark the beginning of summer and school vacations, but it is also a peak month in the summer wedding season. The birthstone for June is the pearl, and the pearl has also come to represent a favorite stone for brides no matter the season of her wedding. Needless to say, choosing pearl accessories for your beach wedding just makes sense.
Pearls are also a great option because as far as jewelry goes, this is something that both you and your bridesmaids can wear for years to come. A great strand of pearls is a must-have for every woman’s jewelry collection. Depending on the style of dress, either a short strand or a longer strand is equally acceptable. Keshi or coin pearls are also popular stone choices. Keshi pearls are organic in shape. Where you’re standard pearl is always round, coin pearls are “natural” in shape.
This makes them unique and a gorgeous alternative for summer wedding jewelry. The great thing about pearls is that they come in a variety of colors; light pink pearls are my favorite.
Go Organic: For a truly natural experience, many brides go eco-friendly with their wedding day accessories. Instead of stone or pearl accessories, they look to their surroundings. ‘Necklaces’ and anklets made of local flowers and organic materials are beautiful and unique. Try creating a necklace and anklet sets from the same flowers found in your bouquet. Seashell jewelry is also another organic idea. If you are a crafty individual, have fun collecting seashells from the beach and take the time to decorate them into personalized pendants for your bridal party. Not only is it a unique jewelry piece, but your attendants will appreciate the time and energy that you put into such a thoughtful gift. Here, continue reading for the ultimate guide to your summer wedding collections.
Wedding Decorations:
The materials and wedding decorations you use to enhance the personality of the location of your venue should be within your budget yet still make the area look beautiful. However you do need to take other factors into consideration when choosing outdoor wedding decorations, you need to make adjustments to the decorations to take into account sunlight and possible breeze or high winds.
Wedding dress:
When it comes to wedding dresses, most men just can’t seem to understand the importance of picking the perfect wedding dress. True, you’re only going to be wearing that gown once in your life, and your groom may still feel the inclination to tie the knot even if you showed up dressed in a potato sack, but you very well know that one of the most important days of your life merits an exceptionally special dress.

A wedding photo album is one of the most important safe-keepers of the memories of your wedding day and you will look at it again and again, possibly for the rest of your life. Therefore, all the money you invest in it is invested very well. Therefore, I would advise you to go for a wedding photo book, only if you don’t care too much about all this “wedding day fuzz” or if your budget simply does not allow for more. Otherwise, get a proper wedding album, because, in the long run, it is worth it!

These romantic wedding songs added another dimension to some couples’ weddings.
Makeup for the wedding:
Plan a pre-wedding makeup party. About 1 – 2 months before your wedding, have your makeup artist do a trial run. Have your bridesmaids with you, and get their input on your make-up. Try to plan the make-up party for the time of day when your wedding will be held. You might also consider bringing photos from magazines to show your specialist the makeup styles that you like. Fabric swatches would also be a great thing to bring, too, so that the makeup artist can create the perfect color palette that compliments the bridesmaid’s dresses and the flower bouquets.
Wedding Cake:
As brides, we want that reaction to our wedding cakes as well. We want people to mill around it and admire the creation that is symbolic of a couple’s new union. We have dreams of hearing those “ooh’s” and “ah’s” and the conversations about the décor, the colors, and the height of the cake. The right wedding cake should take the breath away of all your guests, and make them anxious to take a bite.
