Summer is dying down and the end of August is just a few days away. I love everything that fall has to offer – pumpkins, foliage, firewood and apple picking. Everything the fall season brings easily makes it my favorite. But I want to take one of my last chances to plan a bright summery wedding. This week I’m picking out the perfect bright orange wedding details.

are they still oranges when they're tiny?

Since this is a summer wedding, I don’t want to just pick out orange-colored items – I want to incorporate the actual fruits. Since they’ll be in season it can be a fun and inexpensive way to add the circular shape and natural bright pops of color without a huge price tag. Plus, how adorable are they as escort cards? And the bright orange plate helps tie it all together.

It’s the peak of summer and I can’t get my mind off of beach weddings. Beach weddings in the summer - how particularly inventive of me. Creative judging aside, I found some amazing beach wedding set-ups. When you plan a beach wedding the venue is the easiest detail to pick, it’s sprucing that up to make your wedding unique that is the difficult part. You can’t just add flowers to the ends of the pews and sprinkle some petals down the aisle. You literally have to make the pews and aisle from scratch. That’s great for your creative freedom but not-so-great for your continually growing wedding to-do list. So here are a few beach wedding settings to get your creative juices flowing.
