BHLDN’s resident stylist and décor expert Sara Murray offers décor tips inspired by the season for summer weddings outdoors (or for bringing a touch of the outdoors in!)
When summer is in full bloom, it is the perfect time to add punchy splashes of color and play off the natural beauty that abounds this time of year. BHLDN’s bright Flora Pennant Garland adds a playful accent to a colorful summer fete. Pattered Flora Crinkle Fans pair well with the garland and serve as a functional favor to keep guests cool during outdoor festivities.
For a bold floral statement, BHLDN’s Larger-Than-Life Paper Rose makes for eye-catching aisle décor or can be used as a cheeky alternative to a basket of petals for your flower girl. It also makes a fun photo prop!
Since outdoor summer weddings tend to be a little less formal, add some shimmer with distressed metallic vessels such as Ridged Tin Vases for centerpieces and a few Hanging Mercury Votives overhead.
For brides who prefer a more neutral color palette, Wildbloom Place Card Holders offer a softer nod to nature and Lace Pennant Garlands add a wisp of whimsy.
Seaside nuptials call for a few sweet nautical elements like a Sailboat Envelope Holder, Octopus Cake Stand or a Seahorse Cake Topper; just be sure to focus on one or two pieces you love to avoid going overboard with the theme.
Finally, it’s always important to keep your guests well hydrated during outdoor celebrations and BHLDN’s Tackety Pitchers allow you to do so in the most charming way!
