An arrangement that features green flowers captures the fresh spirit of summer. The color green evokes mental images of luscious fields of grass and thick flower stems, making it a popular choice for summer weddings. Green can be woven into the bridal party's attire in the form of bridesmaid dresses, sashes for dresses of other colors, and groomsmen's ties, vests and boutonnieres. Floral arrangements of light green blooms or white flowers also go well with a green color scheme. For the cake, green icing or white cakes adorned with leaves or grass will look great and very green.
Perfect Pink

Bright pink makes for a fun summer time wedding. Pink is a fun color that also has strong connotations of love and romance. This bright color is perfect for summertime weddings, and can be mixed with a variety of colors, from lime green to orange. Its strongest combination, perhaps, is when pink is paired with other shades of the color. Bridesmaids' gowns in roses or fuchsias, bouquets and floral arrangements with pink roses or orchids, and a cake with touches of pink icing or decorative flowers can stand out in a wide range of themes for summer weddings.

Gold

Gold is a warm color, perfect for a summer wedding. A gold color scheme promises a warm, romantic wedding. Bridesmaids dresses and groomsmen's tuxedo pieces in gold or champagne hues will look great when complimented with white flowers, or bouquets of deep, rich colors. Some couples may opt for a gold-focused reception, with gold table cloths, table settings, centerpieces and other decor. Alternatively, other couples may use more white in their decorating, with golden highlights, such as chargers, napkin rings and floral arrangements with a sparkle of gold.
Kaleidoscope of Color

Instead of focusing on one color, summer weddings can use a number of colors in their decor. With the variety of colors that go well with summertime, it can be difficult to pick one. Luckily, couples don't have to. For an elegant wedding, a color scheme that embraces a variety of rich colors, from ruby reds to deep violets, captures the beauty of a bowl of ripe fruit or flower garden. Tropical colors, like bright pinks, lime green and turquoise are a good color scheme for a summer wedding inspired by a tropical island.
