The Best Summer Weddings Published in Vogue
Ah, the classic summer wedding. Historically, it’s always been the most popular season to get married, in part due to the warm weather and abundance of greenery. And every year, Vogue publishes a number of idyllic nuptials that take place from June through early September.
Sometimes those are in perennial American vacation spots like Nantucket or The Hamptons; other times, they’re abroad in European hotspots like St. Tropez or Capri. There are those held at family homes, and those held at iconic hotels. Many couples embrace a traditional aesthetic with white lace dresses and hydrangeas, while others prefer to break the mold—like one couple who held a minimalist wedding in Greece, with a dress code inspired by Calvin Klein ads from the ’90s. Yet all of them have the same thing in common: embracing the outdoors, sunshine, and natural scenery.
Below, find 19 of our favorite summer weddings in Vogue. It’s in no way a complete list... in fact, we have a feeling we’ll be adding to it very soon.

Anisha Ford and Robert Kunkel held an East-meets-West wedding at the bride’s family home in Seal Harbor, Maine. “We knew we wanted a wedding that could tell our 10-year love story—a blended wedding that honored the Hindu culture that I was raised in and that my family still practices—and that we wanted to get married at the house,” Anisha said.
