Staying Cool During an Outdoor Summer Wedding

Now that the hot weather is here, we came up with a few fun ideas to stay cool at your next outdoor wedding, specifically the ceremony:

- Program Fans: Kill 2 birds with 1 stone. Print your programs on a fan so guests can keep cool and stay on track with your ceremony at the same time. We like these from magnetstreet.com but you can make it a fun DIY project too!


- Refreshments: Offer your guests a non-alcoholic beverage as they arrive to the ceremony site. Great options are flavored water, iced tea or lemonade. Or you can setup an ice bin with water bottles covered with a personalized wedding label. Alcohol can dehydrate you quickly so a non-alcoholic beverage is highly recommended.



Stay Shaded: These cute parasols will keep your guests shaded from the sun. Buy them in your wedding colors! I bet it would make for some amazing ceremony photos! 


- A Sweet Treat: Make arrangements for an ice cream truck to come by your ceremony site after the wedding. Your guests will be sure to cool off with an icy treat on a hot day. One of our couples last year did this and it was a huge hit with the guests! Here's Felicia and Vlad enjoying their sweet treat. 


We'd love to hear your ideas and tips as well. Leave them in the comments section below!

Have a happy summer!
