Planning Tips :: Tips for an Outdoor Summer Wedding
Frozen Drinks & Lighter Food
Choose cool refreshing food for the cocktail hour, appetizers and even dinner options. Frozen beverages can serve as your signature cocktail and keep guests cooled down at the same time. Even cold bottled water provided at an outdoor ceremony is a refreshing chill for your guests on a hot day!
Opt for Light Fabrics & Skip the Train
Take the heat into consideration when selecting your dress (and brdesmaids dresses and gentlemen's suits). Choose something light that breathes to ensure everyone is comfortable. Also, forego the long train if your ceremony will be outdoors. It will only gather grass stains and other unsightly debris..
Keep Your Guests Cool & Protected
If you're having an outdoor summer wedding, make plans to keep your guests cool while they enjoy your outdoor affair. Hand held paper fans (these can even double as ceremony programs), hand held battery powered fans, rented A/C units or misting fans, bottled water, parasols & umbrellas, sunscreen, bug spray....keep your location in mind and keep your guests comfortable. There are many options available so get creative! At one of our June weddings there was a bucket of iced down popsicles at the ceremony, and an ice cream truck parked outside the reception for the guests! Everyone absolutely loved it!
Keep the Cake Cool
If you're having an outdoor reception, be sure to have a plan arranged to keep your cake cool until it's needed for photos, cutting and serving. A cake will quickly melt and wilt in extreme temps, so make sure to keep it safe from the heat! Look into naked cakes with minimum frosting for outdoor soirees.

#DIY :: Flip-Flop Baskets
As the warmer weather approaches, flip-flop season begins! I've done several weddings where brides wanted to provide flip-flops for their guests' aching feet. They're always a huge hit and there are rarely leftovers! So easy to do and so appreciated by the ladies with aching dancing feet!
Buy flip-flops in various sizes from 5-11 (most popular is 7-8), and be sure to pick colors that match your wedding! Find a cute large basket to display them in and the guests can help themselves! You can even go as far as to make thank you tags and/or size tags to hang on each pair or a sign to hang on the basket.
