Season planning
summer wedding tips
- —Golden hour in summer falls late — often 8–9pm — which gives you a long, beautifully lit reception window
- —Shade is essential for outdoor daytime ceremonies: position the altar so guests face away from the sun
- —Keep guests cool with hand fans, chilled water stations, and breathable seating arrangements
- —Floral hydration is critical in heat — work with your florist on conditioning and misting
Golden hourSummer golden hour lasts 30–60 minutes before sunset and produces the warmest, richest light of the year.
Things to consider
- ·Book air-conditioned transport for the wedding party
- ·Ice-cold signature drinks or a granita station keeps guests happy during cocktail hour
- ·Confirm venue has power for fans or misting systems if outdoors all day
