Celebrating 40 years, to the day, to the hour, along with photos from their wedding day, Christine mananged to keep this a secret from Martin right up to the last minute as family and friends, (some from their wedding day 40 years ago) arrived for this wonderful surprise renewal of vows 💕

We have had ceremonies this week with temperatures of 40c in Kefalonia! So I thought it a good idea to give you some of my heatwave wedding tips and you can find more in our Heatwave Wedding Blog on the website. Link in bio.
Let's talk sense.....there is nothing like a summer wedding, but what are the consequences if we're in the midst of a heatwave? Here at Bride Buddy, we attend hundreds of weddings in South West France & Kefalonia, and we know exactly how to help. There are a lot of articles out there on the subject and a lot of good advice that will help you on the day, such as how to wear your hair and keep your make up on, keeping hydrated etc, but the day is also about your guests being comfortable too. Let's hear from celebrant Cherry who has over 25years experience performing weddings on her top tips:
1) Be on time. Everyone has arrived, and your guests are outside enjoying the sun and the Pimms, but as time goes on, the guests get fidgety and restless in the heat. Hanging around in a heatwave is no one's idea of fun, especially for older and younger guests. Make up starts running, shirts start staining and that's before anyone's even sat down for your ceremony!
2) Ah yes, sitting down. Avoid metal chairs. Not only can they burn your guests behinds, but it could be dangerous for a little one and burn their skin.
3) Trees are best! Any kind of shade is great and remember that the inside of many tents and marquees can get stuffy and have no air. Get outside for the ceremony at least, or even better - see if your marquee supplier can provide air conditioning. Dappled tree shade and the opportunity of a slight breeze will make all the difference to everyone's comfort.
4) Supply some beautiful hand fans and parasols.
5) Facial Mist bottles in baskets with tissues is a must and there are the obvious tips such as baskets with spray deodorant and peppermint oil.
6) For you - dab some peppermint oil on your pulse points and back of your neck, and drop the perfume. Perfume will only attract wasps and mossies which will add to the stress and make you all flustered and hot.
7) Add some baby powder between your thighs if you have a heavy dress, it will help prevent your legs chafing in the heat.
There are of course a lot of sensible things you can do to make sure no one gets overheated at your wedding but here at Bride Buddy we know that our advice comes from the actual experience of sending our Celebrant to countless ceremonies. With a little forward planning, you can help to minimise the unwanted affects of the the weather at your celebrations, come rain or shine!

Still catching up with photos to show you from the season so far and a beautiful shot from Hayley Gell Photography of our surprise renewal for this lovely couple - secretly arranged with us by their daughters 💕

Choosing Kefalonia for your wedding or vow renewal leads us to show you a mere handful of ceremony set ups that we have been involved with. We could show you more but maybe we will save it for another time.
Whether you choose to be next to the sea, up in the mountains, a chapel or olive grove, you can see how romantic and special our little Island can be. 💕😎

Love this informal group photo from Martin & Christine's Renewal of Vows exactly 40 years to the day and to the hour....Martin thought he was just going on holiday with his wife and didn't that family and even guests from their original wedding day turned up to join them ❤️

Ceremony ready! 40 years to the day and to the hour - a surprise for Christine's husband, with surprise guests arriving through the week, some from their wedding day and still keeping this wonderful ceremony a secret 🥰 More to come soon...

Changing Abba lyrics and getting the party started - our couple's daughters start the karaoke and everyone has the 'new words' printed out so they can join in! Great idea! 😍😎 (from a Bride Buddy Renewal)

More from our Covid Cancelled Renewal last week. Such a lovely photo as our couple read personal poems to each other and Fiona had her original wedding dress from 24 years ago, adapted especially for the occasion. A chilled hour followed the unique ceremony with a picnic and prosecco for themselves and their two friends as they admired the view... 💕
