What's Hot for Summer Weddings in 2022

The liveliness of summertime wonderfully mirrors the radiant passion of a newlywed couple’s next chapter of life, which explains why it’s such a fan-favorite season to tie the knot in. If you’re planning your summer wedding, you may be wondering what you can do to make your special day a total splash, and we’re right there with you! Here’s the scoop on what’s hot for summer weddings in 2022:

Destination Weddings

What goes together better than summer vacation and a destination wedding? Not much, -- at least not in our book! If you’re getting hitched in the summer, consider choosing a venue on a beachfront resort or a garden in the mountains. Your guests will thank you for giving them an excellent reason to take a trip, and you and your spouse-to-be will love celebrating your union in front of a breathtaking view!

Elopements

Often enough, many love birds find themselves too excited to get married, and waiting just isn’t an option. The summer sun has a certain superpower of making even the most rational of us act a little wild, so it’s no surprise that elopements are a popular choice in the heat of the season. Getting eloped is exhilarating, romantic, and the perfect way for the free-spirited couple to begin a lifetime of shared adventures, with a symbolic grand entrance. 

Second Party Dresses

If you’re the kind of gal that can’t get enough of the drama of a costume change, you’ll love getting a second wedding dress to change into for your reception. Many brides opt for a second dress for the sake of wearing something more comfortable after the formalities of the ceremony, but getting some extra dancing mobility isn’t the only reason second dresses are so popular. Add some excitement into your night: get a second party dress. 

Mismatched Bridesmaids Dresses

If your tastes for bridal aesthetics aren’t quite on the traditional side,  ditching the age-old norm of having your bridesmaids all wear the same dress may be calling your name. Mismatched dresses encourage each of your bridesmaids’s personalities to shine, and allow them to select styles or colors that they feel most confident in. This approach gives you an altar ensemble that’s totally unique, but more importantly, mismatched bridesmaids dresses invite your support system to feel incredible about their look as they stand by your side on your special day.
