So you have a summer wedding planned... depending on where you are in the Pacific Northwest, you may get lucky and have a mild, overcast day. If not, you'll either get rain or heat!
Do you have any strategies for beating the heat at your wedding ceremony and reception? Here are a few ideas:
- Choose a light-weight fabric for your gown.
- Have the groom and groomsmen NOT wear a vest under their tuxes.
- Set up your outdoor reception tables in a shady area if possible.
- Select T-length bridesmaid dresses with flip-flops.
- Serve fresh fruit at the reception and plenty of ice water available to hydrate guests.
- Rent a tent or canopy, which is great for any weather issues.
- Have an up-do bridal hairstyle.
- Insist that your bridal party drink lots of water before the ceremony so no one faints at the altar!
