Frosé - or frozen rosé - is one of the best summer drinks and deserves its own station at your wedding. You can set up an entire frozen drinks bar if that works for you - how about frosé, frozen margaritas and frozen daiquiris? You could even serve a frosé shot at the start of your wedding or during speeches to guests!

Rustic weddings are very popular in the summer and sweet treats don’t get more rustic than a naked wedding cake! The lack of fondant icing and increased amount of icing sugar and varied fruits makes it the perfect choice for our sun-loving couples.

Everyone loves sweets – that is a fact of life. And sweets come in hundreds of different colours that will perfectly match your colour scheme. Sweet tables look gorgeous, are fun and will give your dancing guests all the energy they’ll need.

In need of a cool down? Platters of thick watermelon slices are the perfect reception drinks snack. Other delicious, refreshing fruit snacks include papaya with wedges of lime, mango, pineapple and melon. All great for picking up slices or putting on sticks.

You can't think about summer without thinking about BBQs. Your venue or caterers should be able to put on a delicious BBQ option with freshly grilled meats, veggie options and a yummy selection of salads. It means guests can choose as much food as you want  - some guests are less hungry

in the sunshine so you could avoid wasted food. Think sausages and burgers in posh brioche buns, corn on the cob, jerk chicken, potato and pasta salads. Make sure there are lots of wipes for sticky fingers and tons of different sauces.

Stand up to the wedding traditions and have an outdoor picnic instead of an official wedding breakfast. Get some old benches, paint them up, and decorate them with cute picnic blankets and invite all of your guests to join you with some food-filled hampers.

Nothing says summer like a cold, creamy ice cream. Hire a retro ice cream truck and choose flavours and colours to match the theme of your wedding.

Who doesn’t love Prosecco, it’s a girl’s best friend right? Boozy popsicles in loads of different flavours - from mojito to gin fizz and prosecco - can be bought or made at home and they're super refreshing and fun. Serve them in a cocktail so they melt into cool, slushy-like flavours or

Afternoon tea is a cute way to feed your guests at the wedding breakfast, without having to serve anything too heavy. Your guests may be less inclined to eat a hot meal if the sun is blazing and it could also work out cheaper for you to do sweet and savoury scones and cakes as a lighter lunch option. 

The question is: jam on the bottom or the top?

Instead of having a heavy third course at your wedding breakfast, arrange for your caterers to put together a dessert table made up from jellies, fruit salads, patisserie and sorbet. This will keep your guests feeling fresh and full of energy for the crazy dancing that comes later on.

Coconut water is seriously refreshing. You can have a station where coconuts are cut fresh for your guests, but you can also use this double-winner of a coconut water wall that also hosts placecards.

You could choose a more international menu which offers lighter mains that a traditional British offering of meat and two veg. How about a South-East Asian menu with vibrant Vietnamese spring rolls, soy glazed salmon or chicken with noodle salads and zingy stir-fried veg?

An Aperol Spritz or a wine spritzer is a fab way to keep guests refreshed as well as serve them a welcome drink which will transport them straight to Italy. We love this Aperol station, with the cocktails decked in edible flowers.

Flavoured waters and mocktails in big glass serving jars are really good for guests who aren't drinking or little ones. It'll keep everyone refreshed and looks beautiful too! Make sure there's lots of fruits to serve in it and freeze edible flowers into ice cubes for an even prettier too.
