There’s something so magical about a garden wedding in the summer, isn’t there? The soft rustle of leaves, the sweet scent of blooming flowers, and the open sky above create the perfect backdrop for a romantic celebration. And this year, we’re absolutely in love with Pantone’s Color of the Year: Peach Fuzz. This warm, soft hue captures the golden glow of summer like nothing else and adds a touch of understated elegance to your wedding. We recently teamed up with some amazing vendors to bring this dreamy vision to life in an editorial at Tyler Gardens in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

Let’s chat about how you can weave Peach Fuzz into your perfect summer garden wedding for a day that’s both timeless and enchanting. Even though Peach Fuzz is a “Color of the Year,” it lends itself to a timeless, classic, and romantic garden wedding that’s perfect for spring or summer.

The Perfect Venue

First things first—let’s talk venues. Choosing the right location is key to bringing your summer garden wedding dreams to life. Look for places that boast lush greenery, vibrant blooms, and a peaceful vibe. Think botanical gardens, private estates with manicured lawns, or charming country gardens. These settings naturally provide a stunning backdrop that doesn’t need much extra decoration, letting Peach Fuzz shine in all the right ways. We found Tyler Gardens, with its gorgeous French and Italian-inspired gardens, to be the perfect spot for our editorial.

Capturing Elegance with Floral Designs

Flowers are the heart and soul of any garden wedding, and Peach Fuzz fits beautifully with so many blooms. Imagine peonies, roses, and ranunculus in shades of peach, cream, and blush, all coming together in lush bouquets and arrangements. Add some greenery and delicate white flowers, and you’ve got yourself a floral masterpiece that captures the natural beauty of a summer garden wedding in full bloom. Think floral arches, garlands, and centerpieces that enhance the romantic atmosphere of your venue.

Elegant and Ethereal Attire

When it comes to attire, Peach Fuzz is a dreamy choice. Picture your bridesmaids in flowing dresses of this soft peach hue—they’ll look both elegant and ethereal. You can even incorporate Peach Fuzz into your own look with accessories like shoes or earrings. For the groom and groomsmen, consider peach-colored ties, pocket squares, or boutonnieres to pull everything together beautifully in your summer garden wedding.

Adding Subtle Sophistication with Decor

Peach Fuzz isn’t just for flowers and attire—it’s perfect for your decor too. Use table runners, napkins, and chair sashes in this delicate hue to add warmth to your reception space. As the sun sets, peach-colored candles, glassware, or lanterns can create a soft, romantic glow. For a touch of luxury and whimsy, we created personalized place cards set in real peaches, perfect for a summer garden wedding.
