1. Enjoy the warm summer weather at an outdoor venue

By far, our top June wedding idea is to have your wedding outdoors! You can find countless outdoor wedding venues available to rent on Peerspace, but we’ll start by highlighting a couple of outstanding examples here.

This affordable outdoor event venue in Wimauma, Florida, is one such venue. It bills itself as offering “the MOST reasonable prices in the Tampa Bay.” The feature of this venue we love the most has to be the big, gorgeous tree covered in cascading Spanish moss.

Or there’s this two-story remodeled barn-style event space in Charlotte, North Carolina (pictured above). It offers a combination of indoor and outdoor space so you can plan on having an outdoor wedding while still having a backup plan in case of inclement weather.

According to a bride in her Peerspace review: “We organized our backyard wedding reception here and it was like a dream. The place is so nice and unique, it gives a real privacy sensation. From the very beginning Scott was extremely helpful all the way to the end. He was aware of all the steps as we communicated with him throughout the entire organization. He was so so helpful we were amazed! Not only that he’s a great guy to talk to with lots of good ideas. He was also will to accommodate a lot stuff! All we can say is many many thanks to Scott!”

2. It’s summertime! The bride can wear a shorter wedding dress

If you’re someone who tends to run hot and/or you live somewhere where June means hot weather, summer is a great time to wear a shorter wedding dress that’ll help you stay cool. Does this June wedding idea appeal to you? Then start by taking a look at this list of summer wedding dresses perfect for warmer weather from Martha Stewart Weddings.

If you happen to be tying the knot in the San Diego, CA area, consider booking this beautiful outdoor venue in Chula Vista. It features spacious gardens, a covered patio, a stage for toasts and entertainers, and amazing views. A beautiful setting for a beautiful bride!

3. Serve fresh fruit on cocktail trays

Warm weather means lighter fare like fruit is going to be the ideal snack. That’s why we love the June wedding idea of slicing up some fruit and serving it on cocktail trays as delicious, minimalist bites during your wedding reception. It’s a simple yet thoughtful idea that your guests will appreciate.

4. If your wedding is outdoors, use tents for shade

One way to keep your guests cool at a June wedding is by doing what you can to protect them from the heat of the sun. Canopy tents are an excellent way to do this, and they can also be very pretty and quite affordable to boot.

Better yet, you can book a Peerspace venue that comes equipped with its own canopy! One of our favorite options is this beautiful Grass is Greener event space in San Diego that offers you the use of private event tents.

According to a Peerspace reviewer: “This place was awesome! It was the perfect place for our low key wedding. We were able to pull up a taquero onto the spot and it had activities to keep all the kids of different ages entertained. I would recommend this spot to anyone looking for a wedding venue that provides excellent customer service.”

No matter the weather, you and your guests will be completely comfortable and enjoying every second of your reception!

5. The groom and groomsmen can wear linen suits

Another way to stay cool at a June wedding is by choosing a lighter, more breathable fabric for the groom and groomsmen’s formalwear. Linen suits in lighter shades will be a welcome choice if the day of the wedding is likely to be especially hot.

6. Serve your guests a summer-worthy seafood feast

Seafood is one of the top choices for summer weddings because it’s satisfying and delicious without being overly heavy. Here are some delicious seafood menu ideas from the Knot – they happen to be geared specifically toward beach weddings. Still, they’ll work for any wedding where you’d like to incorporate seafood into the menu. We especially love their idea of seared tuna bites for hors d’oeuvre, as well as the classic raw oysters on the half-shell served over ice.

7. Offer your guests flip-flops before hitting the dance floor

Rustic Wedding Chic provided us with this unique, fun June wedding idea: “Let’s face it, after a while guests just want to kick off their high heels and have a good time. Setting up a basket of flip-flops is a great way to encourage your guests to dance and relax.”

This way, none of your guests will have to leave the dance floor because their shoes are causing them pain, so the dancing can continue that much longer! And flip-flops are so cheap that you can easily buy enough for all your guests without spending much at all.

After you’ve rounded up enough flip-flops, be sure to book the perfect dance-worthy venue on Peerspace. One of our favorites is this elegant ballroom in Bronx, NY with space for 400 guests, color-changing lights, and a massive dance floor.

8. Be extra sweet and out popsicles to your guests

In the heat of the day, another festive way to help your guests cool off is with delicious gourmet popsicles. Here are some extra delicious homemade popsicle recipes from Bon Appétit to help you consider what flavors you might want to serve at your wedding, including strawberry-cucumber ice pops and raspberry-peach bellini ice pops!

9. Bring out your inner child and have a pool party wedding

Here’s a June wedding idea you might not have considered! What about incorporating a pool party into your wedding festivities? In case this sounds like something you might want to do, Martha Stewart Weddings has 30 fun ideas for a poolside wedding to get you started.

And to find a venue that has the elegance any wedding deserves along with a gorgeous pool, rely on Peerspace. For example, this Mediterranean villa in Beverly Hills may just be the most stunning location for an epic pool party wedding reception. It’s gorgeous and inviting indoors and out and provides you with a pool, cabana, and a veranda outdoors and a ballroom, home theater, and several entertaining spaces indoors.

10. Choose brightly colored bridesmaid dresses

Summer weddings tend to be more colorful than those in other seasons. In addition to having your bridesmaids wear brightly-colored gowns, you can also ask them to wear dresses in a variety of different colors for added fun (and they’ll really contrast with a classic white wedding gown if that’s what you decide to wear). Even though the dresses will be different colors, we’d recommend choosing a cohesive color palette for your bridesmaids’ dresses, so they don’t end up clashing.

11. Hang picturesque string lights everywhere you can

If you have an outdoor wedding, string lights are an incredibly affordable way to add a warm ambiance to your wedding reception once it starts getting dark. The light they cast is flattering and relaxing, and no matter how you incorporate them, they always look magical. There’s a reason that using string lights has been one of the most popular lighting and decor trends at weddings in the last few years!

If you live in San Francisco, CA, let this stylish private outdoor heated garden in the Castro do all the work for you. It has space for 60 guests and a night-in-the-Tropics ambiance that’s hard to replicate.

According to Peerspace reviewers, this garden is a wonderful option for intimate events. “Highly, highly, highly recommended. We hosted ~25 friends for my wife’s birthday here and everyone thought the space was awesome, the staff was on point and Nate was all about making sure everything was great from the moment the booking was confirmed until we left. We’ll definitely book again.”

12. If you live somewhere with hot summers…

…make sure to pick a venue with great air conditioning! For instance, if you’re in Los Angeles, you might want to have your June wedding in a space like this modern bohemian loft in Marina del Rey, Los Angeles, CA.

It’s a super modern and stylish home with central A/C and upgraded air filters for cool and fresh air on demand. Plus, its airy, bohemian style is perfect for just about any wedding theme. You can also book its feasting table, which just happens to be one of the most delectable options for June wedding ideas in the LA area!
