Weddings Are Meant to Be HOT

HOW TO KEEP YOUR GUESTS COOL

Weddings are a celebration of love, joy, and togetherness. While the summer months are a popular choice for weddings due to their vibrant and sunny atmosphere, the heat can sometimes be a concern for both the couple and their guests. At our Country Club, we understand the importance of ensuring that everyone is comfortable and enjoys every moment of your special day. Here are some tips to keep your guests cool and make your wedding an unforgettable experience.

CUSTOMIZED FANS AT SEATS FOR OUTDOOR WEDDINGS

Nothing says thoughtful like a customized fan at each guest’s seat. Not only do they provide a refreshing breeze, but they also serve as a unique keepsake from your wedding. You can personalize these fans with your names, wedding date, or a special message, adding a touch of elegance and practicality to your outdoor ceremony.

MOVE THE CEREMONY TO A SUNSET WEDDING

Consider scheduling your ceremony for later in the day when the sun is lower, and the temperature has cooled down. A sunset wedding not only avoids the peak heat but also provides a stunning, romantic backdrop for your vows. The golden hour light is perfect for capturing beautiful photos and creating a magical ambiance.

CONSIDER WHAT YOU & YOUR PARTNER ARE WEARING

Choosing breathable and lightweight fabrics for your wedding attire can make a significant difference. Opt for materials like linen, cotton, or chiffon for a more comfortable experience. Brides might consider a more relaxed gown, and grooms can go for a lighter suit or even a stylish linen shirt. Ensure your wedding party is also dressed appropriately to stay cool throughout the day.

INFORM ATTENDEES ABOUT OUTDOOR PORTIONS

Communication is key. Let your guests know in advance if any part of your wedding will be outdoors so they can dress accordingly. Include this information in your invitations or on your wedding website. Providing details about the weather and venue will help guests prepare and stay comfortable.

SERVE SEASONAL FOODS & COOLING DRINKS

Incorporate seasonal foods and refreshing drinks into your menu to keep everyone cool and satisfied. Think along the lines of chilled soups, fresh fruit platters, and light salads. For drinks, consider offering specialty cocktails or mocktails with a cooling effect, such as mojitos, lemonade, or iced tea. You can even set up a hydration station with infused water and ice-cold beverages.

INTERACTIVE FOOD STATIONS TO KEEP GUESTS MOVING

Interactive food stations are a fun and engaging way to keep guests entertained and moving. Consider options like a build-your-own salad bar, an ice cream sundae station, or a fresh fruit cart. These stations not only offer delicious treats but also encourage guests to mingle and stay active, preventing them from feeling the heat too much.

By incorporating these thoughtful touches into your wedding planning, you can ensure that your guests remain cool and comfortable while enjoying the warmth and love of your special day.
