For a classic outdoor wedding, go with a summer wedding palette that features both boho and rustic elements. Play with textures and tones in your napkins, table settings, and wooden décor. And while you’re at it, add hanging fairy lights and off-white candles to your reception space, while incorporating green and brown shades. Lastly, we suggest pairing your venue aesthetic with a farm or woodland forest backdrop for a chic and sophisticated vibe.
