The planning has begun and our team is so excited at the awesome ideas, the sweet sentiments and the joyful thoughts of the days ahead as we being the wedding season ahead.  We have had some awesome winter weddings and encourage brides to consider the winter season for many reasons, but we are in the season of summer planning and so we thought we would share some of this seasons trends and ideas as we talk with our couples.

What seems to be some of the hot ideas for the summer weddings of 2019?

Bright Colors!
Couples are choosing bright colors for their weddings and receptions!  Mixing and matching is popular, working with bright color schemes.  One example might be: instead of centerpieces being of mixed flower colors, a monochromatic centerpiece is chosen like a bright pink and coupled with a bright orange tablecloth.  Possibly it is that each of your bridesmaids wears a different bright color that matches their bright personality. Don’t over do, but think bright yellows, pinks, oranges, lime greens, fuscia and more for a trendy look this summer.

Light Music!
Many couples use music in their ceremony and also consider music during their reception.  Ask your DJ or consider light music choices.  Classical coupled with a surprise Swing or Big Band sound is a hot idea for your summer reception.   Ukuleles, strings, pianos, harps are popular choices also.

Forest and Garden Themes!
Well, this is always exciting and one of the reasons why couples choose Sampson’s Hollow.  Our wedding settings lend perfectly to these themes.  Sarah’s Glen is a popular setting for the enchanted forest setting, however, we welcome you to visit all of our facilities to dream of the perfect setting for your vision of perfection when this special time comes.
