Summer<\/a> is the most popular wedding season<\/a>–and for good reason. The sunshine brings warm weather, and there\u2019s something about the longer days and hot nights that make summertime<\/a> especially romantic. <\/span>It\u2019s also easier for your guests to attend a summer celebration: Vacations are common this time of year and out of town guests can even extend the trip, turning it into their own summer holiday. <\/span><\/p>\n

Sweltering heat can be one downside to the summer wedding<\/a> season, but there are plenty of ways you can help keep your guests cool this time of year. Bright colors, bold blooms, and refreshing flavors embolden this time of year, so consider incorporating these elements into your summertime celebration: Summer wedding cakes, dessert alternatives, and <\/span>signature cocktails<\/span><\/a> are all great ways to do just that. <\/span>\u00a0Blooming florals and fresh produce make great garnishes for your wedding cake and citrus flavors like lemon and orange<\/a> will help your guests beat the summer heat.<\/span><\/p>\n\"naked\n

A pink lemonade cake is the perfect blend of tart and sweet and it\u2019s rich pink flavor will blend right in with your bright floral arrangements. Other creative summer flavors include orange creamsicle, key lime, and lemon curd. <\/span>Tropical weddings are also popular during warm holiday months so you can play around with island flavors such as coconut, pineapple, and mango. <\/span>A Mai Tai yellow cake, for example, lets your guests get a taste of the islands, featuring yellow cake topped with pineapple and almonds and filled with dark rum chocolate mousse. Yum!<\/span><\/p>\n

If you’re open to alternative dessert options, try opting for a sweet treat instead of a cake. Boozy popsicles, ice cream bars, sherbert, and more are all great alternatives that will keep your guests refreshed. You can also save big by taking a less traditional route. <\/span><\/p>\n
