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
