One of the first things you’ll do when you get engaged is start thinking about your future wedding date – the one that will represent a new anniversary in your love story. Maybe you want to keep up with tradition, and set a date for one that already has special meaning for you (the day you remember saying I Love You for the first time, perhaps), maybe you want to choose an entirely new time of year (so you can add yet another heart on your collective relationship-tracking calendar), or maybe you just the vibes and natural aesthetics of a particular season and you want to lean into the look A LOT for your wedding. At Style Me Pretty, we’re huge fans of seasonally-festive affairs: from the beginning, we’ve built seasonality into our site navigation to make it easy for couples to search for spring, summer, fall, and/or winter events, specifically. And when we say that each one has its certain kind of charm, we aren’t kidding.
Letting that fact inspire the overall design and curation of the products in our Style Me Pretty Shop, we’ve taken special care to make sure that all of the items in our Decor Shop are perfect for ALL seasons. They all have SMP’s signature dose of pretty and delight, but they’re buildable, too, to allow you to put your own stamp on your wedding. And for real, we love seeing how they’re styled!! So, if you’re thinking seriously about a spring or summer wedding, here are some thoughts – we promise that by the time your big day comes around, every single one of your guests will totally get your reason for the season. Enough for them to say “whoa, this floral-infused ice cube (in an equally-enviable champagne bucket) single-handedly made me a believer in the power of summertime soirees.” Yep!
Ever the hype squad behind acrylic ceremony chairs, we love how seasonally-suited seating can totally level up your nuptials. Whether you’ll be exchanging vows indoors or al fresco, your guests are going to be emotional either way, so top off each of their chairs with colorful tissues that match your palette or a floral print that pays tribute to the natural pops of the season.
Not going to lie, for obvious reasons. guests will always be drawn to the bar at your wedding, but if you’re planning a very seasonally-forward day, you can make your setup all the more welcoming with some thematic touches. Apart from serving up sips that scream summer (a French 75 is 👌), you can hang up motivating metallic signage and then ask your florist if he or she can work some flower guy or girl magic on your spirits station. Cascading greenery and focal blooms are a big mood for any seasonal wedding, but especially spring and summer, so if you can find a place to plant them, then you have our full support!!
One of our absolute favorite items in the shop is our wedding backdrop banner. It’s been used at SO many different seasonal weddings (from a summer lakeside altar arbor to a fall tented reception entrance), and has such chameleon-like appeal, because truthfully, ‘together is a beautiful place to be,’ is appropriate for any season. Style with vase-stacked risers full of flowers for spring or among blanket-rolled hay bales for fall, OR try something entirely Insta-worthy for summer, like a vibrant farmers market motif with cartons of fresh fruit or veggies.
Is a specific season feeling ever-so-perfect for your wedding party? If it is, then you’ll find so many wonderful accents in our Style Me Pretty Shop to flex for your fête. Fingers crossed for exceptional weather, too, because that’s when these pretty pieces shine the brightest!
