Because no happy event is complete without tasty food, your wedding menu should be carefully selected. But the truth is, deciding on a summer event menu is very challenging as you have to choose the kinds of food that do well in extremely hot and high temperatures. 

We advise you to go for the buffet catering style and stock it with good dishes, both cold and hot. For example, include pizza, bao buns, sushi, lobster rolls, salads, and tacos.

As for the drinks, Champaign and beers are always a good option, but the summer heat couldn’t be beaten without the fruit element. Lemonade, orange, mango, and others have an instant effect for cooling up. There’re a lot of delicious cocktails as well. Keep the drinks on your summer wedding menu as diverse as possible; they’re more important than the food.

Blue has always been one of the first options that come to mind when deciding on a summer wedding color, so it became clichéd. But, when matching blue with the right colors, it’ll look fantastic and unique. Peach and light blue are a great couple for your summer wedding. 

You can use peach and white for flowers, blue for bridesmaids’ dresses, and both blue and white for the arch.

These two summer wedding colors really do give the effect of a tropical wedding. And green is always fantastic for a summer outdoor wedding. However, you have to find the right tones of green and pink that match properly. Lavender and Forest are one of our favorite selections.
