Los Angeles Wedding Halls:
5 Summer Wedding Tips to
Heat up your Reception

Southern California is always a summery paradise, (except for the smoggy days in Los Angeles,) but for whatever reason, summer weddings are extremely popular in Socal. Maybe it’s just taking advantage of the gorgeous weather and scenery, maybe it’s just that love is in the air, but summer weddings seem to be conducive to lovely, modern wedding receptions and celebrations.

Tons of Los Angeles wedding venues are conducive to summer weddings—typically, an outdoor ceremony is complimented nicely by an indoor banquet hall reception and celebration. Regardless of whether or not you choose an indoor or outdoor Los Angeles wedding venue, here are 5 tips to heat up the celebration and make it one to remember.

Wedding Flowers

Nothing can paint the picture of a summer wedding quite as vividly as elaborate floral arrangements. When we say elaborate, we don’t mean gaudy or bold necessarily—simple, colorful floral arrangements in large numbers make a summer wedding gorgeous and they’ll also make your wedding photos pop with color and warmth.

Wedding Colors

Speaking of color, stay away from the traditional wedding colors when hosting a summer wedding ceremony and reception. Bright colors like pastels, purples, fuchsias, pinks, lime green and lemon yellow—all of these eye-popping colors truly accent a summer wedding and contribute to the warmth of a Southern California day.

Wedding Themes

Themes can be fun and many brides take them over the top to make their wedding memorable. Beach themes, Arabian Nights themes, vintage themes—it really just depends on your tastes. But don’t feel the need to go overboard unless that’s you—the color and atmosphere of a summer wedding makes even contemporary, simple weddings extremely fun and memorable.

Desert Catering

Desert tables don’t replace your wedding cake, but a large desert table from a fine desert chef or catering company is not only refreshing for summer, it can add to your décor and the overall beauty of the wedding. Deserts can be artistic and leave an amazing impression in addition to being decadently sweet.

Summer Bar Options

It goes without saying that no wedding, regardless of season, is complete without a full bar. Think summery options at your bar though, such as sangria or cocktails on the rocks and refreshing white wines. Something as a summer option in addition to the usual beer and liquor selection will provide a memorable twist to your evening.
