It’s hot out there, but don’t let that stop you from having the outdoor summer wedding of your dreams. We’ve rounded up our top tips to keep you and your guests cool and comfortable on your big day.

Attire
Think light, airy and strapless for your wedding dress. Your bridal party will look fresh and keep their cool in short bridesmaid dresses. For shoes, pass on pumps in favor of open-toed shoes or strappy sandals - let your toes breathe and show off that pristine pedicure! With jewelry, less is more - accessorize lightly to stay cool.
     
Beauty
Updos all the way! Whether you’re into braided crowns or messy twists, keep your hair off your neck and away from your face. Add a little sparkle with pins and combs that catch the sunlight. For makeup, opt for a natural, dewy look instead of matte and heavy. Even if you sweat, you’ll still look gorgeous in your wedding photography.

Ceremony
Keep your ceremony decor to a minimum, but add a few fun accents to keep guests comfortable. Get creative by making fans out of your ceremony programs. Another idea? Place rustic barrels at your beach ceremony to hold guests’ shoes as they walk on the sand to take their seats.

Wedding Favors
Go for unique wedding favors like drink Koozies with your wedding hashtag, or some summery flip flops! Keep guests cool with bottled drinks customized with your wedding logo and hashtag, too.

Cooling Stations
Set up drink stations with water bottles labeled with your wedding hashtag for guests to take at their leisure, drink stands with cold lemonade and iced tea and plenty of beer, of course. To beat the heat, station a few misting fans around for a cool breeze.
