Nothing reminds us of summer more than freshly mown grass, flower-filled gardens and light summer evenings. When warmer weather finally arrives in Britain there is no place we’d rather be, which is why summer is a beautiful time to celebrate your wedding day. Decorate your wedding venue with citrus colours, bright flowers and colourful bunting, and serve your guests refreshing flutes of Pimm’s and a light menu to create the perfect summer theme.
