Although at times you wouldn’t know it from the weather, summer is on its way and my thoughts have turned to summer wedding theme trends. Certainly one of my favourites this year is the slightly more relaxed ‘summer garden party’ approach that brides-to-be are favouring.If you are thinking about introducing some country chic into your big day, looking for a slightly more informal approach or are just still considering your options – feast your eyes on this little collection to give you some food for thought.

Pretty or what?! Are any of you now considering introducing a bit of garden party fun into your big day? Which elements are your favourite? I am definitely loving the floral shutter table planner…quirky but very very cool!

Hope this has left you feeling inspired, you lovely Zankyou lot!
