July 4th Wedding Ideas

If you are planning a summer wedding, Independence Day is a patriotic and unique theme. Whether you have your ceremony on July 4^th or just around the holiday, an American theme is an obvious choice. Here are some ways to incorporate some red, white and blue into your wedding.

Color Scheme – Red, white and blue is a fresh and bold choice for a wedding. Style Me Pretty shows bridesmaids wearing both red and navy dresses for a casual wedding.

Favors – The British love their tea, but Americans can’t resist a coffee based drink. These cappuccino wedding favors, with an American flag on the front, make a great favor for your guests.

Signature Drink – Martha Stewart’s Berry Spritzer, with its patriotic fruit garnish, is a refreshing way to serve sparkling wine.

Cake – While you can go all out with a flag or stars and striped themed cake, this cake shown by United with Love, adds simple touchesof red and white to the traditional white cake using berries. Very classy!

For a summer wedding, an Independence Day or Americana theme may be an obvious choice, but it doesn’t have to be predictable or boring if you use these ideas.
