Summertime brides rejoice - you’re almost there! By now all your major decisions have been settled so it’s time to turn your focus to tackling any last minute details for your big day. Like what you ask? See below for some suggestions to ensure your celebration goes off without a hitch:

Make sure everyone is cool & hydrated. If you haven’t done so already, talk to your caterer about welcoming your guests with a drink. A simple drink station with water, lemonade, or iced tea can go a long way, especially at an outdoor wedding!

Keep the bugs away. Anyone who has been outside during the summer knows that mosquitoes can be a very annoying problem. Protect your wedding and your guests by lighting some citronella candles or, if you are on the beach, light some tiki torches! Another solution is to give your guests welcome bags each with their own bottle of bug spray.

Prep for sweat. This tip is for the groom and it may possibly save your wedding photos! Bring an extra dress shirt to change into after the ceremony so your wedding photos are free of sweat stains.

Be prepared for a little rain. Weather is one thing you really can’t control on your wedding day and the summer season is known for its unexpected rain storms. Talk to your venue and make sure you have a plan, whether that be tents or moving to an indoor space.

Make your flowers last. Nobody wants wilted flowers at their wedding, so make sure you meet with your florist to go over the timeline of the day.Try to have your flowers dropped off as close to the event time as possible or ask for them to be delivered with water. You may even want to consider ordering extra flowers - JUST in case!

Write up contact sheets. Create contact sheets for everyone in your bridal party with all necessary information. From each others numbers, to the wedding planner’s, to the Dynasty Limo driver’s - feel free to even include a timeline of the day. This will help keep everyone on schedule and in the right place at the right time.
