Infuse some summery sunshine into your wedding by using yellow as your main wedding color. The great thing about having a monochrome palette is that anything you use in the same color family will match, not to mention that purchasing said items in varying shades of yellow is a lot easier than trying to find various items in mango orange or sea-foam green.

For a summery yellow theme, make your wedding more casual and pick out specific areas where you’d like to highlight the color. For example, in this wedding, the couple hung long pieces of yellow and white fabric from the rafters and accented their “altar” with yellow balloons.

You could always go with small touches like a beautiful yellow ribbon and flower chandelier or simply hang lemons from the chairs and have your guests strew yellow rose petals.

Your bridesmaids will glow in yellow dresses. To mix things up a bit, have them wear the same dress in varying shades of yellow or differently cut dresses in the same shade of yellow to give your bridal party some uniformity. Have your groomsmen wear yellow socks and ties to blend the whole thing together.

For the youngest members of your wedding party outfit them in sunflower wreaths or yellow tutus. The boys can wear a pale yellow vest or a simple yellow flower on his lapel.

For the table decorations you can do several things. Place a few daisies in a single flower vase with a sign to depict the table numbers.I love these signs that have different candy names on them. Tie some personalized ribbon and a wedding tag to a lemon to serve as your place card holder. Place yellow table runners over some white linens for a crisp effect, or bunch together various yellow flowers within different holders like porcelain Chinese takeout boxes.

Have your baker create a yellow cake and/ or set up a candy buffet with various delectable yellow goodies for your guests to sample and take home. Set out some mini glass spice jars or favor bags for guests to bring the candy home. Some homemade lemonade is a great way to cool your guests down. You can also send them home with their own personalized lemonade packets as wedding favors.
