Questions to ask your vendor
What to ask before you book
- 1.Do you have a vetted local vendor network at this destination, or will you be flying in your full team?
- 2.What permits or legal requirements apply to a ceremony at this specific location — and who handles coordinating them?
- 3.How do you manage guest logistics — welcome bags, ground transport, accommodation blocks — for international travelers?
- 4.Can you coordinate a remote tasting with the local caterer before we commit, or will we need to rely on their proposed menus?
- 5.What's your contingency if key décor items don't arrive on time due to customs, shipping, or logistics delays?

Navy is bold — anchor it with crisp white and warm gold. Avoid pairing with black (too formal) or red (too patriotic). Champagne softens it perfectly.
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
