The Summer I Turned Pretty Wedding Ceremony Ideas

When it comes to the ceremony, Belly and Conrad’s story gives us so much inspiration to draw from! Their love has always been tied to the ocean, nature, and those magical, intimate moments.

Domaine de Canaille
  • By the water: A ceremony by the ocean feels like the most natural nod to The Summer I Turned Pretty. Picture vows exchanged with waves in the background or even a sparkling pool setting the scene.
  • Florals: Hydrangeas are a must (we see them again and again in the series!). Pair them with soft pastels or white roses for a look that’s elegant and fresh.
  • Intimacy: I’d think handwritten vows, a live acoustic musician, or a reading would be included in Belly and Conrad’s wedding ceremony. These little touches really capture the personal, heartfelt side of their love story.

Whether you lean into coastal charm or a Parisian chateau backdrop, the key to a Summer I Turned Pretty wedding ceremony is keeping it natural and intimate.

Coastal Charm

  • Table design & decorations: Go for driftwood accents, seashells, and soft linens in pale blues and whites. You could even use little shells as name card holders and scatter hydrangeas around for that perfect coastal touch.
  • Food & drinks: Keep it fresh and fun with seafood, Provençal dishes, and maybe even some pomegranate margaritas to toast the day! Serve it all outdoors, perhaps around the pool for that perfect Summer I Turned Pretty coastal vibe.

Parisian Elegance

La Bastide du Roy
  • Go for crisp white linens, pastel florals, and elegant glassware. Add little touches like gold cutlery, fine china, and mini patisserie treats at each place setting for that extra Parisian flair. Champagne towers can also serve as a show-stopping centerpiece!
  • Lean into classic French wedding traditions with cocktail hours on terraces, intimate canapé spreads, and toasts with champagne. Include little moments like wine pairings or a vin d’honneur, a short French cocktail reception before dinner, to really capture the Parisian wedding experience.

Garden Parties Across Both Themes

  • A garden party is very Summer I Turned Pretty coded, especially when it’s set by a pool with a gorgeous view. Think twinkling fairy lights, candlelit paths, and soft lanterns creating a magical evening atmosphere.
