5 Summer Wedding Venue Ideas You Probably Haven't Thought Of

Without a doubt, Summer truly is the most popular season for weddings. With religious weddings now being allowed outdoors again, couples have the freedom to choose the perfect outdoor wedding venue of their dreams.

With that in mind, the pressure is on for most couples to create the ultimate wedding that feels unique to them. You may be wondering, “How do we make our Summer wedding really unique?” — we’ve got you covered! We’ve chosen five truly special places to make your wedding unforgettable and a range of wedding stationery to go with your wedding theme. Sounds good? Read on below for a choice of wedding ideas that you probably haven’t thought of!

1) Getting Married Inside a Botanical Conservatory

With the wonderful wildflower or greenery backdrop, you’ll feel like you’re in an oasis of your own. If it rains on the big day (a sign of good luck). The beautiful conservatory architecture will keep you and your guests dry while still filling the space with natural light. 

Our 'Wild Botanical' Printed Gatefold Wedding Invitation will give your guests the essence of the colourful flowers and plants that will set the stage for your wedding day.

2) Getting Married Under the Stars at a Planetarium

For a wedding venue that’s literally “out of this world”, there’s no better place to make your guests go WOW than a planetarium. The 360-degree dome will become a spectacle for you and your guests, giving your wedding an even more magical feel on your big day.

As dazzling as the stars in the sky, the 'Speckled' Standard Foil Wedding Invitation will shine brightly with its beautiful foiling detailing.

3) Getting Close to Nature at a Butterfly House

What better way to be closer to nature than inside a butterfly house? Much like a botanical conservatory, your wedding will have the enchanting backdrop of wild florals and beautiful colourful free-flying butterflies fluttering throughout the room. 

Our beautiful 'Butterfly' silk ribbon/twine wedding invites are perfect for a wedding such as this one, with matching stationery such as our 'Butterfly' folded place name cards.

4) The Quintessential English Country Fete

Wish to add some fun to your wedding? There is an abundance of country fetes throughout the summer season in the UK, so why not plan your wedding at a local country fete? The food stands will keep you and your guests well-fed, and the Ferris wheel will make for a perfect photo opportunity!

These 'Pink Flag Bunting' Save the Date cards instantly give the essence of an English fete, which will get your guests feeling very excited! Keeping with the theme, we also have our 'Pink Flag Bunting' Standard Thank You Card to thank your guests for being there on your special day.    

5) Chasing Waterfalls

#Don’t go chasing waterfalls….# Well, we recommend that you do! If you’re thinking of having a small wedding or eloping, there’s nothing quite like a romantic scenic waterfall backdrop for your big day, especially if you want to be closer to nature. This type of venue will certainly be a memorable one for you and your guests — just make sure you don’t get wet!

Our 'Blue Watercolour Splash' Sleeve Invite features a beautiful blue watercolour splash design, which comes in a choice of Kraft brown, white or coloured envelopes and matching sleeves with stickers.
