August Wedding Trends We’re Loving Right Now at Thanksgiving Point
- By Cloe Bentz
August is one of the most beautiful months to say “I do” at Thanksgiving Point, and this year’s top wedding trends are all about romance, creativity, and unforgettable guest experiences. Whether you’re envisioning a lush garden ceremony in Ashton Gardens or an elegant reception in the Loggia, these trends are perfect for Utah brides looking to blend timeless elegance with modern style.
Utah’s August sunsets paint the sky with breathtaking shades of terracotta, dusty rose, and golden amber – and brides are using these colors to set the tone for their big day. Against the vibrant greenery of Ashton Gardens or the serene backdrop of the Loggia, these warm hues create a truly magical atmosphere.
August nights in Utah are perfect for al fresco wedding receptions. We’re seeing couples embrace long family-style tables, twinkling string lights, and menus featuring fresh, local ingredients. Outdoor dining lets guests relax and take in the natural beauty of our 50-acre gardens.
This month, brides are taking ceremony design to the next level with floral arches, draped fabric, and greenery walls. Our venues already offer incredible natural backdrops – like blooming roses and sparkling fountains – so you can build on what nature has already perfected.
4. Interactive Guest Experiences
Modern brides know that guests love feeling part of the celebration. From gelato carts to live painting to bouquet-building bars, these personalized experiences are a big trend this August. Thanksgiving Point’s versatile spaces make it easy to bring these creative ideas to life.
August is overflowing with vibrant seasonal flowers – dahlias, zinnias, and sunflowers are particularly stunning right now. Many couples are also embracing locally sourced décor, florals, and catering to give their wedding an authentic Utah touch. Our floral team specializes in blending seasonal beauty with personal style.
