Summer is just around the corner and this means that soon the most desired weddings of the year will begin, the time of greatest concentration of these celebrations. In these months we have long days that invite natural outdoor weddings in a fresh and relaxed atmosphere. High temperatures will not be a reason to run away from this type of weddings.
Here are some tips that will be useful when organizing a summer wedding.
Five tips for summer weddings
Environment and Decoration
The good weather invites you to choose a more appropriate decoration with several chill out areas where your guests can relax. It is advisable to avoid overloading the atmosphere, so opt for a simple and fresh decoration.
The choice of colors is important, we suggest combining light and neutral tones with small shades of more intense tones that make an interesting contrast. Lighting in these areas can also create a magical atmosphere and floral decoration is basic.
Outdoor weddings
The time of day is a factor to take into account. To celebrate your wedding you should avoid the central hours and opt for cooler hours, such as late afternoon. We recommend taking advantage of the nature that surrounds the space.
The shade of the trees will serve as a support to lighten the high temperatures. These trees will also serve as a support to decorate with wild flowers in case of a daytime wedding, or with lights and candles in case of a nighttime wedding. It is important to highlight that floral arrangements tend to last less time, that is why we recommend preserved bouquets.
Anti-heat details for guests
Welcoming your guests with cool drinks and offering fans and hats to protect them from the heat are ideas that you should not leave aside. There are many options and they can be customized according to the type of wedding you are going to celebrate.
Dress code
The attire for both the bride and groom as well as the guests should be fresh with vaporous fabrics that give a feeling of lightness. Women usually show off their backs with wedding dresses with thin straps accompanied by pamelas as an accessory.
Catering
Fresh seasonal ingredients in their different formats are the protagonists in the gastronomic offer proposed for your guests, both for the cocktail and for the banquet. In Artigot Catering we have a selection of both hot and cold references that are light on the palate.
We recommend setting up shaded areas to hold a cocktail party composed of snacks and a selection of corners that create a more casual atmosphere typical of outdoor events at this time of the year.
The banquet menu consists of a starter, main course and dessert. The starter is recommended to be cold, such as a soup or a salad. It is followed by the main course, which is more substantial and usually based on fish, seafood or poultry. Finally we close with a dessert that is usually based on fruit or ice cream.
When organizing your summer wedding, we advise you to take into account these details to ensure the success and enjoyment of your guests, it will undoubtedly be a great day, awaited by many to celebrate your union!
