Colorful Ceremony Backdrops for Summer Weddings

Colorful Floral Arch Summer Wedding

It’s the final countdown for days of summer. And while the apple crisp macchiatos and pumpkin spice lattes have gotten a little too impatient with life “on deck,” we’re continuing to soak up all the vibrant colors + sunshine light that summer promises for every second this beautiful season offers. We’re finding it to be the challenge of all challenges to loosen our grip on colorful ceremony backdrops in particular. Especially when they pack a mesmerizing punch like the examples we’re sharing today! From ombre swirls of yarrow and spirea to dyed foliage and fluffy fillers, these kaleidoscopic floral designs are pretty impossible to beat.

Gone are the days that couples are limited to traditional floral arches to frame them as they share their vows. We are head over heels for crazy + cool designs that mount florals as wavy pillars, asymmetrical frames, lush canopies and multi-level pedestals to boot. There’s something truly special about ultra mod color layering… and we’re forever begging for more.

Colorful ceremony backdrops made their way to the top of every stoop style list during the pandemic – and for good reason! Nothing highlights a good NYC brownstone quite like mountainous clouds of eye-popping blooms.

Many of these colorful ceremony backdrops offer a wonderful look at transitional palettes for those summer-to-fall weddings where your heart still aches for pinks, lilacs and yellows but the season calls for some muddier, earth tones too.
