2026 Summer Wedding Trends

Summer is here! And so are the COLORS! We are seeing vibrant color palettes and nature-forward vibes at Havisham House Wedding Venue in southern Illinois. Couples are telling their story with deeply personal, expressive, and comfort-driven experiences, including having their best furry friends in attendance. Having a southern Illinois wedding creates the best photo opportunities as well. Our lush lawn, beautiful weeping willow, stone and wood features, give local photographers dreamy backdrops for brides’ forever photos.

Being located next to the coolest bourbon bar in the Midwest allows our couples amazing choices for their beverage menu, adding signature cocktails for guests.
