"Hi, I'm Phyllis Cambria with weddingplansplus.com. In this clip, I'm going to give you three tips on summer outdoor weddings. When I think of summer outdoor weddings, I think of nature; I think of beautiful colors; I think of flowers; I think of the beach. I think it's a great time to go outside and enjoy the nature and the decor that nature's giving you. Tip number one; use seasonal flowers like these beautiful Gerber Daisies. They come in a variety of colors and the fun thing about it is that you don't have to be a florist learn how to arrange them. You just add some flowers to some small vases that are inexpensive; some greenery and you have a beautiful centerpiece. Plus, it makes a great, serves double duty as a great favor giveaway. You don't always have to use flowers. When I think of summer, I think of the beach. I think of seashells; I think of water; I think of sunshine and that's where tip number two comes in. Tip number two; try a seaside theme especially if you live near the ocean; then you can have your decor for free. All I did was take a vase, filled it up with some blue water; add it some seashells, a floating candle; accented it with some seashells on a string, some votive candles; put it on this beautiful water colored linen and presto; you have an instant seaside soiree setting. And if your budget is a little bit bigger; there are other things that you can do to create the same seaside effect that will still give you this setting that you want for the wedding of your dreams. Tip number three; this is a natural sea sponge; but you can also use a piece of coral. Coral comes in a variety of colors and styles and it will give a unique place setting for every table. Just add a few shells, some decorative beads, some votives; you have instant beach elegance. The best thing about after weddings is that you can do it on any budget. You can have it be spectacular. You can be have it at home's pond. You can have it in the beach. You could have it in the park. You could have it in, on a terrace. Your resources are limited only by your imagination and your budget. Other than that, you can plan any type of wedding that will, can fulfill your wedding dream. Thanks for watching."
