If you have decided to have a summer wedding, you definitely know just how many advantages there are to this. People are much more likely to show up, the weather is going to be very nice – and, to top it all, there will be an abundance of foods and flowers to bring into your Big Day. Yes, summer weddings can be absolutely amazing.

Yet, it is also important for you to make sure you keep your guests cool at your hot summer wedding. After all, this is not just a matter of comfort, it is a matter of safety – so be sure to check the following ideas and incorporate them into your wedding!

• Water and refreshments. One of the best ways to fight heat is by making sure you are properly hydrated – so keep this in mind both for you, and for your guests as well. Provide them with plenty of water and refreshments, so that they are fully hydrated throughout your Big Day.
• Shading and fans. If you decide to get married outdoors (because, yes, there’s always the option of getting married indoors) remember to provide guests with shading options and fans. This is a great way to add a bit of uniqueness to your wedding, as fans and parasols can be gorgeously personalized to fit your wedding style.
• Time everything right. By all means, avoid getting married at noon, when the sun burns really hard and when it can be the most dangerous. Set your wedding earlier or later in the day and you’ll only reap the benefits of the warm summer weather.
