Y’all we can’t believe it is already August! For those of you that are planning a August wedding keep these tips in mind:
1 - Keep your guests cool
it’s important to think about ways to cool off your guests, such as planning an indoor or tented event, providing fans, or renting A/C units.
2 - Offer outdoor activities
favorite outdoor wedding activities are corn hole, giant Jenga, large tic-tac-toe, and horseshoes.
3 - Include a water station
Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! In the warm summer months, it’s important to drink lots of water and stay hydrated. Offering a refreshing infused water station at your ceremony site is a great idea
4 - Celebrate summer colors
Some popular summer color palettes include shades of coral with fresh greenery, summer jewel tones paired with metallics like gold or rose gold, and soft pastels such as blush pink and dusty blue.
5 - Serve up a refreshing cocktail
In the warm summer months, it’s a great idea to offer a cool, light, and refreshing signature cocktail for you and your guests to enjoy and keep cool.
6 - Choose the right floral
gravitate more towards flowers like orchids, sunflowers, or peonies because these do well in the heat.
7 - Dress for the weather
make sure to take fabrics and styles into consideration so you’re ready for the weather and heat August might bring. Choose wedding attire that is light and—most importantly—comfortable to dance the night away!
8 - Incorporate useful favors
Think of favors like folding fans, sunglasses, parasols, or even hats to provide shade from the sun. Getting favors that your guests can use can be the cherry on top for your August wedding!
9 - Plan a tasty summer menu
Many delicious fruits are in their peak season in the summer, for example. From crisp, refreshing veggies to light seafood options, guests will love it when you serve up something cool and tasty at your wedding!
10 - Consider both indoor & outdoor options
Look for a venue that offers both indoor and outdoor wedding sites so you can escape the heat and/or bad weather if needed. That way, you can be sure that no matter what happens, both you and your guests will be comfortable!
