Let's hear it for America, the Beautiful!  Or better yet, decorate your wedding with her glory!  One of the popular trends for summer weddings is to draw on the July 4th holiday, and go with the theme of patriotism. These weddings are not only fun and creative, they can also be absolutely gorgeous.

The possibilities are endless for incorporating these catchy colors into your wedding. From the dresses to the decorations to the cake, there is practically no area of your wedding that can’t be resplendent with patriotic pride.

Even if you’re not an over-the top observer of national holidays, the color scheme presents plenty of opportunities for expansion, creating a uniform theme throughout your wedding. In addition, decorations and favors in these colors are easy to find throughout the summer. For a post-4th of July wedding, many items can even be bought on clearance (if you want to wait until that close to your wedding!).

A few of the ways to incorporate these bright complimentary colors in your special day are in flowers (consider brightly-colored pomanders), bridesmaid dresses, your aisle runner, centerpieces, and in your favors. This is a great theme with limitless possibilities for your special day. No one will for get a red, white, and blue wedding!
