Summer Weddings: Bold Romance in Full Bloom

Before diving into this season’s trends, let’s take a moment to celebrate one of our favorite summer celebrations:

Cedar Lakes Estate: Where Nature Meets Luxury

Nestled in the Hudson Valley, Cedar Lakes Estate is one of the most sought-after venues in the region—and for good reason. It offers a rare combination of rustic charm and refined elegance. From its pristine lake and sweeping mountain views to the luxurious cabins and design-forward gathering spaces, it provides the perfect canvas for a truly unforgettable wedding.

Jamie and Pat’s wedding last July was a dream. Jamie envisioned an elevated garden feel, ensuring the ceremony and reception—although designed with slightly different floral palettes—would feel beautifully cohesive. She wanted to bring the outdoors in.

To honor her vision:

We designed the ceremony with soft pastel florals, setting a romantic tone.
The reception leaned into vibrant summer hues, bringing a joyful energy.
Some blooms were repeated across both spaces, while others were unique, allowing for continuity without monotony.
When the ceremony florals were brought into the reception, they harmonized effortlessly.
Six-foot tall floral trees made of natural branches and fresh foliage were placed throughout the reception to mimic the natural grandeur of Cedar Lakes Estate’s outdoor setting.

This thoughtful design approach ensured each moment felt distinct, yet every element was woven together by intention and beauty.

Summer Wedding Trends & Inspiration

The Power of Bold Blooms

Summer florals are abundant and rich in color. Think bright peonies, garden roses, allium, and sunflowers that add vibrancy and depth to any setting.

A Color Palette Inspired by the Sun

From soft sunset hues—blush pinks, warm corals, and golden ambers—to vibrant tropical tones, summer weddings embrace a palette that feels fresh, inviting, and full of life.

Outdoor Elegance

Mountainview vows, patio cocktail hour, and lush receptions set the scene for breathtaking moments. Flowing flowers, soft candlelight, and natural elements like wood and stone enhance the organic beauty of summer settings.

Tablescapes That Capture the Season

Let the essence of summer flow through every detail. From fresh citrus accents to hand-painted menus, a well-thought-out tablescape creates an immersive experience for guests.
