Create Your Summer Vision Board


Summer weddings are all about vibrant colors and delightful themes! A vision board can help bring your ideas to life. Explore themes that encapsulate summertime – think bright and tropical colors like coral, teal, and sunny yellow. Incorporate elements that reflect the carefree essence of summer.


Use Unique Summer Items


Incorporating seasonal items can set your wedding apart. Here are a few delightful summer touches to include:


  1. Fruity Centerpieces: Picture fruity arrangements using fresh pineapples, watermelons, and vibrant flowers. Not only are they eye-catching, but they taste delicious too!


  2. Tropical Colors: Use linens and decor that resonate with the season's aura. Bright table runners and floral arrangements can make your barn venue pop with color.


  3. Whimsical Decorations: Think playful summer elements such as wildflower bouquets, string lights, and laid-back seating arrangements that encourage mingling.

Rustic Rose Barn offers a picturesque backdrop that can enhance your summer wedding perfectly. The open spaces allow for both indoor and outdoor ceremonies. Here are a few charming layouts to consider:


  • Outdoor Ceremony: Utilize the lush landscaping around the barn for a breathtaking ceremony under the open sky. Consider using natural elements like wooden archways draped in flowers.


  • Indoor Reception: The barn's rustic charm can set the tone for a cozy dining experience. Think about setting up long, communal tables for a warm and inviting atmosphere.


  • Photo Opportunities: Scout the stunning areas around the venue for unique photo ops. A classic old tree, weathered barn doors, or a charming field nearby can serve as beautiful backdrops.

Choose Seasonal Catering Options


What better way to embrace summer than through your menu? Opt for catering that uses seasonal ingredients and lots of fresh produce. Consider these ideas for your summer menu:


  • Light and Refreshing Options: Salads with fresh greens, berry-infused dressings, and vinaigrettes can be warm-weather favorites.


  • Deliciously Grilled Meals: Grilled chicken, veggies, or seafood offer summer flavors that guests will love. Pair these with side dishes that celebrate local produce.


  • Sweet Treats and Desserts: Why not incorporate summer fruits into your dessert table? Think peach cobbler, berry trifles, or a refreshing wedding cake adorned with citrus fruits.

Now that you have your basics planned out, it’s time to add those finishing touches that will make your summer wedding at Rustic Rose Barn unforgettable.


  1. Personalized Guests Favors: Show your appreciation with thoughtful guest favors. Consider small jars of local honey, summer flowers, or seed packets to grow their gardens. Setting these with the table settings often encourages guests to remeber to take these thoughtful gifts with them when they go.


  2. Engaging Activities: Create a fun space for guests to engage with one another. Setting up a lounge area or lawn games.


  3. Day-of Coordination: Finally, don’t forget about the day-of coordination. The Rustic Rose staff and coordinator ensures that everything runs smoothly – from timelines to any hiccups that may occur.
