Hot Summer Weddings

It is currently 6pm and still 97 degrees outside. Earlier it got as high as 104 degrees, cooler than yesterday. All this crazy heat got me thinking about those couples out there who are getting married this summer (or next summer... great to plan ahead). Here are some wedding ideas to keep you and your guests cool at your wedding.

Parasols - Provide them for your guests or forgo bouquets and have your bridal party carry parasols down the aisle.

Fans also make cute alternatives to bouquets or provide them for your guests as well. You can also make custom fan programs so they do double duty and save you some money.

Offer Boater Hats or Fedoras to your male guests to shade their eyes.

Something that is often overlooked at any outdoor event is Suncreen. Offer a basket full of personalized sample-sized suncreen for your guest. These can also double as favors.

And don't forget refreshments. Keep your guests cool and hydrated with old fashion lemonade! This looks adorable served in mason jars.

And what says summer time more that an Ice Cream Sundae? Provide a variety of toppings including everything from nuts to whipped cream to Oreo cookie crumbles and, of course, cherries and let your guests go crazy! (Also, if anyone knows where to find these amazing Coca-Cola themed labels for the sundae bar, please let me know.)

Most importantly, keep plenty of Ice-Cold Drinks available throughout the event!

And don't forget to BREATHE!
