Summer is a popular time for weddings. The weather is lovely (in most places), everyone is in the mood for traveling and the bright sunny days put everyone in a cheery mood. For some people, summer is a time to get married and celebrate other occasions. For those couples who want to celebrate summer love by showcasing their patriotism, there is the option of having a 4th of July themed wedding. Getting married on a holiday is not my cup of tea (I've always been a lemonade girl), but if the idea of saying "I do" surrounded by red, white & blue tickles your fancy, there are lots of ways to start forever with your love in a way that pays homage to our great country too. For the traditional bride, wearing a white wedding dress is probably a non-negotiable. But you can add a touch of patriotism by putting your flower girl in a red flower girl dress or a blue flower girl dress. Or you could tone it down by having her wear a white dress and adding a red or blue ribbon around the waist. Or maybe you could put her in red or blue shoes.
