Summer will be here before we know it, and in Texas that means it will be HOT! Outdoor weddings are beautiful, and here are a few ideas to beat the summer heat on your big day.
Stay hydrated! Simple. Make sure you and your bridal party are hydrated for the big day. No one wants to feel faint, tired or dehydrated on their big day. If you are planning an outdoor ceremony during a particularly hot month, you can provide water for your guests during the ceremony. The bottles make for a cute keepsake, and no doubt your guests will appreciate the gesture.
Fans are another option to cool down during the ceremony. Substituting your traditional program for a fan style can not only give your guests good information about your event, but also help them stay cool. Again, it can serve as a great keepsake and you can personalize the fans to your wedding style.
Dress for the weather. Let your guests know that you would like to enjoy a summer style wedding, and to dress accordingly. Sweet sun dresses and collared shirts can still be very appropriate for your event. You may opt for the long bridal gown, followed by a cooler reception dress. Many bridal gown companies offer gorgeous party gowns that still allow you to stand out as the bride.
Finally, celebrate the heat! Summer is such a fun season, why not celebrate during your wedding as well. Embrace the season by offering an ice cream station, frozen drink machine or shaved ice stand at your wedding. There are many ways to beat the summer heat and enjoy a gorgeous {sunny} wedding day!
