One of the most exciting things about planning your wedding day is deciding if you want to give it a unique theme.

Let's be real here, early summer is the ultimate time of year to tie the knot. The possibilities for summer wedding themes are endless… so let's get planning, brides-to-be!

Whether you're leaning toward a breathtaking beach wedding with ocean-inspired decor or a garden bohemian wedding with fresh flower crowns, you simply cannot go wrong.

If you share a passionate love for wine, maybe a vineyard, complete with sunflower bouquets and lighted wine bottles galore is the right choice for your big day.

But on a gorgeous summer afternoon, there's certainly not a more exciting place to be than the carnival.

There's nothing quite like it…

You just open up the flowery gates…

…And you're welcomed into the carnival of your dreams.

Let the fun festivities commence with games and a balloon artist, of course…

Ring toss, anyone?

Or maybe you're all about the kissing booth…

Don't forget your admission tickets for an evening of whimsy and romance. Bring on the delicious desserts…

And, let's be real here, a carnival would not be complete without popcorn…

Eat, drink, be merry… and whatever you do, make sure you save room for the carnival cake…

Be prepared for a magical experience filled with white lights, pastel balloons and confetti that will certainly bring out the kids in all of us…

Take a ride on a vintage carousel with your wedding date. It's truly the perfect place for a romantic kiss...

Or, grab a cozy seat on the Ferris wheel…

It makes quite the incredible backdrop for pictures…

Don't forget about whimsical decor, like these funky centerpieces…

Gorgeous flower arrangements will make a bold statement for your big day, especially with gold accents…

The affair of your dreams awaits…
