For those not put off by a bit of humidity and heat, summer is the perfect season for a wedding. Some may say choosing an outdoor ceremony is a bold move - although you’ll have the perfect backdrop for beautiful scenic photos, you run the risk of frequenting your phone for weather updates and worrying about your guests’ (and bridal party’s) comfort.
Not to worry outdoor lovers, this is nothing a bit of planning can’t take care of. There are many creative and cost-effective options to “heat proof” your outdoor wedding and ensure comfort on your big day:

Hydration - Beer, wine, and liquor don’t count toward keeping you hydrated. If your outdoor wedding is forecasted to be during the peak of a heat wave, be sure to supply your guests with water and other hydrating beverages. Keep an eye out for children and elderly guests as these groups are more apt to become quickly dehydrated.
Comforting Favors - While favors are typically provided at the end of the night, an outdoor ceremony provides ample opportunities for gifting to your guests to make and keep them comfortable. You may choose to put your wedding program on a fan, provide a cooling face mist, or in case of a breezy beach wedding - perhaps light weight blankets are a better option.
Cool It Down - If you opt for having the ceremony during the sun’s peak hours, having some shade available will help ease your guests. If there’s no natural shade to be found, renting large tents can provide an escape from the sun. You may also want to consider high-velocity blower fans or A/C units for a refreshing breeze (just be sure to text them for noise).
Frosty Treats - Treat your guests to cool treats, like popsicles or ice cream. It doesn’t hurt to make sure your caterer plans on food that will keep well outdoors in the heat to avoid spoilage. Summer menu items of cold, refreshing veggies, cold seafood, fruit skewers, and gazpacho shots are much more palatable in hot weather than heavier, cream-sauce dishes.
Finally it’s always a good idea to keep your guests informed. Everyone loves an element of surprise, but letting your guests know they will be spending a lot of time outdoors will help prepare them for the day. No matter what you select for your outdoor wedding ceremony, let Dynasty Limousine handle your transportation needs.
