Cool Shade & Hydration Stations:
If you are planning an outside wedding during summer months, we all know that the heat can be unbearable! It's important to plan ahead and have self-serve drink stations to keep your guest hydrated during festivities. It's also a good idea to check and see if your outdoor venue has covered areas or supplies tents for shade. If your venue does not supply tents, look into rental companies around your area. Your guests will be so thankful that you did!
Natural Ways to Keep the Mosquitos Away:
We all know that summer months bring pesky mosquitos. Instead of supplying each guest table with a bottle of bug spray, here's a list of natural way to repel those unwanted guests during your event:
- Lemon Eucalyptus Oil
- Lavender
- Cinnamon Oil
- Thyme
- Citronella
- Tea Tree Oil
- Mint
Cool Items to Serve up to your Guests:
In the summertime, everyone loves to eat and snack on cooler items such as fruit and uncooked veggies. I highly recommend serving up salads and chilled snacks as a crowd pleaser. Not only do they make pretty, colorful platters, but everyone can find something they like when you have a large variety.
Yard Games:
Everyone loves to mix and mingle over outdoor games, especially in the summer. If you're having an outside wedding, including outdoor games and activities is always a sure way to win over your guests. It's a great alternative to dancing and keeps the party fun!
Reception Attire:
If you are planning to have your reception outside during summer months, I highly suggest considering a different dress for those festivities. Most wedding dresses have several layers and even if they are sleeveless, they tend to be very hot during summer months. This way you will be cooler and more comfortable as you greet and meet with guests and dance the night aways.
