Now that June is in full swing that means Summer! These sunny days we are having are making me fall more and more in love with the berry brights and citrus tones of the season. Both are cheery color palettes for Summertime nuptials.

Our Pinterest page has inspired me to share just some of the wonderful ideas to personalize your Summer Wedding! Here are several…

Strawberry Brights - Color Palette

Summer Citrus - Color Palette

For those HOT Summer days and outside festivities – A water station and bug spray section for your guests to get comfortable and hydrated. So clever!!

Water bottles with custom labels

Bug Check Station

And on hot days, you want to stay refreshed during the celebrations. These watermelon cups filled with feta and mint are a delicious bite sized treat for the cocktail hour.

The perfect nibble - watermelon cups with feta & mint

During the Wedding Reception, serve a signature drink such as this colorful cocktail consisting of limoncello and prosecco with frozen raspberries. It looks festive and tastes refreshing! And as it is Summer, we suggest a favor for your guests showcasing the delicious berries of the season. A flavorful treat!

Limoncello Fizzer

Wedding Favor - Seasonal Berries!

It is Wedding Wednesday and the first week in June. We therefore wanted to feature a cheerful sunny wedding which was just perfect for SUMMER!!

Grand Hotel - Mackinac Island, Michigan

The couple was married at the beautiful and stately Grand Hotel on dreamy Mackinac Island in Michigan. The bride looked beautiful in one of our La Fleur collection gowns with pin tuck details and pockets. The wedding overall had a perfectly preppy element to the details.

Style LF161

We love the color scheme chosen by the couple for their Summer wedding. Sunny and cheerful Yellow with classic and elegant Navy. We adore the Mother of the Bride’s dress with its striping! And the bride’s “something blue” continued the Navy element with her sassy beribboned pumps.

LOVE the yellow stripe!

Plus the gentlemen in the wedding are ready for Summer in their attire: Seersucker for the ring bearer and Khaki suits for the Groom and Groomsmen!

Men's Fashion for Summer

It is Travel Tuesday ~ With the start of Summer, we find ourselves thinking of dream-worthy Honeymoon destinations! How about some fun in the sun? Palm trees, aqua blue water, cocktails with mini-umbrellas, walks on the beach, awe-inspiring sunsets. What location makes your heart go pitter patter? The Maldives, Australia, Greece…

Maldives: Shangri-La's Villingili Resort & Spa

Australia: Hayman Island

Greece: Mystique Report, Santorini

Toronto Bride

We have a beautiful bride, Sarah, who was married earlier this month in Canada. Archeo in the Distillery District of Toronto served as a unique urban location for the wedding. We absolutely LOVE Sarah in her “Evangeline” gown!  (Love Knots Wedding Photography)

We are thrilled to showcase Friday’s Featured Dress with style Grenadier!

Grenadier is from the new Spring 2014 La Fleur by Anne Barge collection. The Knot’s “Wedding Fashion Review” named Granadier as a top choice for Architecturally inspired styles – a key trend in bridal fashion! Grenadier is designed in a silk tissue taffeta with a striking all over herringbone pattern on an Aline silhouette.

Attend one of our Summer Trunk Shows for your opportunity to preview Grenadier before it is in stores! (Select Anne Barge retailers will feature the Sp14 collection at scheduled Trunk Show events. All upcoming events can be viewed under the Trunk Show tab on our Home page).

Have you considered wearing a short dress? Perhaps something sassy but sweet to wear at your rehearsal dinner. Or a sophisticated but saucy number as an end of night dress change at the wedding reception. These short dresses by Anne Barge allow you to stand out as the bride as you also show off your personality!

Sparkling exit in Chatham-mini dress!

We are excited to share this rustic Vermont wedding today! The bride looks gorgeous in an Alencon lace gown from Anne Barge. Simply resplendent in its antique tones for their Fall Wedding.

It is Throwback Thursday! Fashion is continually evolving while still looking at the past for inspiration. Anne Barge creates modern silhouettes with a timeless spirit to her designs. Check out our “Jacqueline” gown and the inspiration behind it – Jacqueline Kennedy. An homage to a classic beauty! #throwbackthursday #tbt #annebarge #bride
