As we enter into the hot Florida summer months, there are still plenty of brides who want to have their wedding ceremonies outside enjoying the sun, fresh air and the gorgeous view of the Gulf or garden. And while it is picture perfect, the heat can sometimes be a little too hot to handle. Here are some cool ideas on how to keep you and your guests more comfortable:
1) It's not customary to serve drinks to your guests prior to a wedding ceremony, however, when the ceremony is outside it is a good idea to have pitchers of water (at a minimum) for guests to keep hydrated. You can even get water bottles with customized labels. Or consider spicing it up a bit by including lemonade, fruit punch or even a non-alcoholic signature drink.
2) Turn your ceremony program into a fan. There are lots of great styles of fans that serve a dual function - keep you cool and informed! List your bridal party names, key information, the outline of the ceremony just like a normal program, but this one will let your guests keep a cool head!
3) Provide flips flops... ceremonies on the sand are a perk of having them in Florida, but that sand can be hot on the feet. Purchasing a wide range of flip flops sizes that match your color scheme can help the feet and double as a favor. You can even have them personalized with your names and wedding date!
