We love a good summer wedding – especially when the sun does actually shine. But it’s important to know how to beat the heat and make sure that your guests stay comfortable in the sun! Here are some of Bella vita’s freshly made tips to give you a splash of excellence to your wedding!
If your wedding is on the open air, you don’t want your guests squinting so much they can’t even see your gorgeous gown. Provide your guests with sunglasses and use them as favors or fun photo props! You could have a basket full of different colors and styles to suit your wedding theme and remember: the bride always chooses the colors!
You want your guests to remember your big day as super special, not the day they got extreme sunburnt. Although it’s their responsibility to take care of their skin, it’s also helpful to provide a little box of sun creams just in case they have forgotten! It’ll mean you and your hubby-to-be can also top up during the day and enjoy your wedding without worrying about catching the sun.
There’s nothing like an ice cold drink on a scorching hot day, and it’s easy for your guests to get dehydrated quickly without realising, especially with all those glasses of fizz. Avoid any disasters and make sure there are cold drinks around at all times to rehydrate everyone. Store drinks in buckets of ice to keep them extra cold!
If there is limited shade at your venue, have a basket full of pretty umbrellas to make sure your guests can have shelter from the sun if needed. If you want to get fancy, you can choose different colors or prints to match your decor. These also look fabulous in the wedding photos!
If you’re planning an outdoor wedding let your guests know in the invitations so they can dress accordingly. Make sure your bridesmaids are dressed in something light, that they can layer up when it gets a little cooler in the evening. Also think about your wedding dress, as you want to enjoy your day without getting too hot and sweaty.
