In this article, we'll introduce original wedding performance ideas that are all about summer.
Summer brides, take note ♩

Embracing Seasonal Elements: Summer Wedding Performance Idea ② Refreshing Sand Ceremony
In this ceremony, the bride and groom pour colored sand from separate containers into one container. White and blue colored sand evoke memories of the beach, creating a very refreshing wedding ceremony.
This also carries a beautiful meaning of "Two people who have walked different paths in life becoming one family" ♡
Embracing Seasonal Elements: Summer Wedding Performance Idea ③ Swearing Eternal Love with Marbles
A unique idea for summer weddings that incorporates marbles into the wedding certificate. During the ceremony, each guest is invited to the altar to place marbles into a box.
Finally, the bride and groom sign a marble and place it into the box as a vow of love ♡
It was a wonderful ceremony where they could make eye contact and exchange words with each guest.
Embracing Seasonal Elements: Summer Wedding Performance Idea ④ Summer Event: Nagashi Somen!
The summer tradition of nagashi somen! An idea to enjoy flowing somen together with guests in the garden is unique to summer weddings.
It's rare to have nagashi somen at a wedding, and it seems to become a wonderful memory for guests ♡ It will surely be a big hit with the children too!
Embracing Seasonal Elements: Summer Wedding Performance Idea ⑤ Refreshing Shaved Ice Treats
Towards the end of the reception, the bride and groom serve shaved ice to the guests. The couple personally shaves the ice and treats their guests, which is like a shaved ice serve instead of cake serve!
A cool dessert like this is sure to delight the guests ♡
Embracing Seasonal Elements: Summer Wedding Performance Idea ⑥ Everyone Cracks Watermelons!
Imagine a surprising watermelon cracking at the wedding!
This original performance called "Watermelon Crush" was devised by the bride and groom along with the planner and MC*
Five guests were randomly selected to participate in the watermelon cracking event, where everyone was asked to predict which pair would successfully crack the watermelon among the six participants.
The participants wore blindfolds and spun around to lose their sense of direction, searching for the watermelon following the guests’ cheers of "To the right!" and "A little more left!"
In the end, everyone enjoyed eating watermelon together ♡ This is a summer performance that everyone can enjoy and get excited about.
By the way, they also decorated the high table with watermelons ♩
Embracing Seasonal Elements: Summer Wedding Performance Idea ⑦ Refreshing Fruit Punch Round
A popular table round performance at the reception is making fruit wine. Guests add fruits to a large jar, and at the end, the bride and groom pour in alcohol.
This performance is called the "Fruit Punch Round," where the final drink poured is juice or soda instead of alcohol ♩
The refreshing dessert, fruit punch, is perfect for a hot summer wedding*
Since it's non-alcoholic, all guests can enjoy tasting it right then ♡
Embracing Seasonal Elements: Summer Wedding Performance Idea ⑧ Yo-Yo Fishing for a Festival Feel
Experience the festival vibe with a yo-yo fishing performance!
Since many child guests will be participating, the bride and groom prepared this activity ♡ This way, everyone can have fun together ♩
If you prepare both a shaved ice buffet and yo-yo fishing, it will surely create a fun wedding atmosphere reminiscent of summer festivals!
Embracing Seasonal Elements: Summer Wedding Performance Idea ⑨ Ramune Mini Gifts
Speaking of summer weddings, there's nothing quite like fizzy ramune. Ramune mini gifts actually come in a wide variety of styles*
Handing out refreshing ramune allows guests to feel the summer vibes until the end ♡
