The Art of a Colorful Summer Wedding That Still Feels Refined
Selecting The Right Setting
It’s no secret that simply selecting the right venue does half the work for you. Brittany and Hunter chose The Estate at River Run because its exterior and interior spaces fit the vision she had for her wedding. A grand stairwell, vaulted ceilings in the ballroom, intricate decor details, the bluestone terrace overlooking the James River, etc. When deciding on a venue, selecting one that looks refined and elegant before adding any additional decor goes a long way in the overall feel of your wedding day.
Color Done Intentionally
Colorful weddings feel elevated when the palette is curated, not chaotic. Take time to carefully craft a color palette that you love. Mix soft, romantic hues with a few richer accent colors that POP to mesh lots of color in a way that feels intentional! Florals will help take this to the next level – which is what we’re going to cover next.
Florals Are The Foundation of Design
Florals aren’t just for bouquets – used correctly, they can set the tone for your entire day and elevate every photo. Lush arrangements for this wedding made it feel like you were in a garden. The added textures, colors and dimension of florals brought the setting to life! Florals are such a powerful tool!
The Power of Layered Details
One big statement piece is not the move. It’s the layering of small, intentional details that creates a luxury feel. Brittany did a fantastic job with this part of planning! You could tell she selected details that would best fit her wedding vision, adding to the Bridgerton feel of soft romance, color and luxury. Details to consider if you are looking for a similar look: delicate invitation suite, fabrics, table settings, candles, heirloom pieces and bridal party attire. The bridal party attire shouldn’t be an afterthought!
