Summer weddings in Florida

If you are planning a summer wedding in Florida, specifically an “outdoor wedding” in the months of June – August, you want to be cognition of Florida heat as summer weather can easily surpass 100 degrees.

Reasons why you may rethink an outdoor mid-day summer Florida wedding

• Imagine beautiful hair destroyed by Florida’s summer humidity (I mean no amount of spray can withhold Florida’s heat
• Beautiful Makeup smeared by sweat.
• Photos messed up because of squinting eyes in every picture.
• Couple/guest/vendors uncomfortable

If you have your heart set on having a summer wedding, no problem, but consider the following options:

• Have a Sunrise Wedding or Sunset Wedding – the sun is not at its peak and it’s more comfortable for all, additionally the beach/park won’t be packed at those times.
• Have a cooling station (water/ lemonade / Champagne Toast and Rum Punch is also good).
• Have fans on each seat – It works as a cooler and also a favor that guest can take home.
• Have appetizers (Fruit/snacks) – Food always helps (Of course nothing that will spoil)
• Start on time – Don’t be on “island time” or fashionably late if you are having an outdoor wedding – Respect is required. If guest are late, they miss the wedding / if bride is late … well guest may leave – Let’s have mutually resect, with the understanding that it is Hottttt.
• Keep the ceremony short, yet sweet and meaningful – Honestly, to the point is always better.
