We’ve all been to weddings and seen the big white dress, red rose bouquets and heard that ‘Here comes the bride’ song playing as she glides down the aisle with the proud father by her side.
Of course, the traditional wedding we all envision will never lose its appeal, but we’re now at a time where doing things a bit differently is far more memorable for all involved. Wedding site online has a number of different tips and ideas for you, so why not spice up your big day this year with a few of the hottest spring and summer wedding trends of 2015!
Blushing bride
Ladies, it’s time for you to ditch the traditional white and ivory wedding dresses because we’ve got something exciting for you! In the past, it’s been the bridal party dressed in the more vibrant and exhilarating eggshell blue, buttercup yellow and power pink colours, but now’s the time for you to take the stage on your big day in a beautiful blush bridal gown. The elegance and sophistication of the colour will fit perfectly into your spring and summer wedding themes, leaving your groom beaming!
April showers bring May flowers
Sticking to the theme of colours, spring and summer weddings are the perfect time to get adventurous with your bridal bouquets. With so many beautiful flowers growing during spring (one good thing to come from the rain), it’s the time where you can get away with having imaginative colour combinations without it looking tacky and too over the top. Warm tones such as purples, pinks, yellows and oranges are a popular choice. If you’re feeling extra bold with your wedding bouquet, brides in the past have added diamantes for that extra sparkle. For a simpler look, white diamonds are recommended with fewer colours in your bouquet, but it all depends on how daring you’re feeling.
Pretty pastel bridesmaids
The current trend for weddings, according to the experts, is the bridesmaid dresses. Your bridesmaids can now pick their own gown, best suited to their own personality and shape. Let’s face it; the same dress is a bit boring! This season, the options are endless and your bridesmaids will appreciate the fact that you’re not a bridezilla and they can have a say in what they can wear. Pretty, soft colours such as pastel blues, greens and yellows will be a big hit with your bridal party. Though they may not be in the exact same attire, the warmth of the pastel themed dresses and the way they complement each other will leave your guests knowing exactly who your bridesmaids are (along with the fact they’ll be right by your side on the day that is).

Man of the hour
Grooms, don’t feel left out, we have something for you too! It’s time for you to get into the wedding spirit and embrace the season. I’m sure picking out a suit is a lot harder than it sounds to us women, and to you, they’re not all the same. If everyone else is sticking to the spring and summer trends, you should too. Instead of opting for a traditional lack lusting black suit, what about choosing a lighter colour such as a tan or light grey? It will compliment your blushing bride perfectly rather than you sticking out like a sore thumb in gloomy black attire – after all, this is your wedding day, not your funeral!
Arrive in style
The great thing about spring and summer weddings is that you are guaranteed better weather than in the winter (although you can never be too sure in the UK). If you know your big day is forecasted to be pleasant, why not do something a little different? Rather than your conventional horse and carriage or old-style car as a mean of transportation to your wedding, why not arrive on a bike? We don’t mean you pedal your way down the aisle and sweat up a storm while you’re at the entire ceremony, but once you and your husband are the new Mr and Mrs, ride to your reception on a motorbike bike together. It’s something fun and different, and you’ll score immediate brownie points with your groom if you let him drive it!
