Trendy Summer 2021 Wedding Designs

A Summer of the ’70s

Summer 2021, we’re seeing so many ’70s flashbacks that we’re starting to find pampas grass in our dreams! Our Ranch has always attracted the boho-chic couples, but this year they’re going bigger than ever before. There’s no holding back on the fabulous decor and ingenious DIY creations we’ll see amidst our historic charm. From Mid-Century, Boho-chic, even a little bit of disco, we’re feeling these inspired designs.

Neon Letter Signs

We’re seeing these custom-made neon signs everywhere in our summer wedding plans. A little nod to the disco age during the 70s, neon signs can be integrated into ceremony backdrops, welcome signs, and even bar decor. The best part about these neon signs is that couples can keep them and reuse them as fun decor in their home!

Color-Block Backdrops

These backdrops are the most popular ones for now, and the best part is that they’re super DIY friendly. Color block cardboard or plywood backdrops with laser cut or without, with some abstract prints or without them. The colors are traditionally orange, rust, red, yellow, ocher, burgundy, and other warmer desert shades, but we’ve seen ones with all colors. Toss around some candles and large bundles of florals to match your overall decor, and you’ve got a look that professional designers crave!

Wedding Arches

There are so many sub-categories of “70’s Boho” wedding arches. We’ve done gorgeous arches of macrame, fringe, greenery, dried and fresh blooms, and pampas grass is sky-rocketing in popularity. Recently, the geometric designs have really taken off as well, and we love the idea of a triangle wooden arch. You can skip all the macrame and fringe stuff, sticking to a more traditional floral design too! Creating a bold arch or altar with flowers in bright colors (orange, rust, yellow, red, burgundy, of course) and some dried blooms and bright leaves among your greenery can still fall into the 70’s vibe,

Vibrant and Colorful

If you haven’t picked up on the proper 70’s color scheme yet, vibrant colors are some of the most popular hues for Summer weddings. Brilliant blooms in corals, oranges, and yellows, have always been an exquisite accent pallet to our gorgeous sunsets, blue barn doors, and white-washed walls. You can spin these colors however you feel, whether you’re looking for inspiration to keep things fresh with vibrant and tropical color combinations or want something classic with romantic pastels and modern neutrals. It is easy to bring your ideas to life, and the 70s were all about vibing with what feels right.

Welcome Boxes

There are so many welcome gifts that have become a new standard for couples to give–and generally have available– to their guests now. It seems like it’d be odd not to offer cute personalized hand sanitizers and optional masks, but what about programs and take-home favors too? Instead of assuming your guests have space to fit all these fun trinkets into their pockets, a box filled with everything they could need from the start is the perfect solution. Guest-centered details like this are blowing up in popularity since so many weddings have been downsized. As a wedding favor that they can actually use at the wedding, these boxes act as a thoughtful way to make your loved ones feel that they’re cared for on your wedding day.
