Summer Wedding Tips from Your Wedding DJ
Ah, summer weddings! Sunshine, warm breezes, and the promise of a joyous celebration under open skies. As a wedding DJ, I’ve seen countless summer weddings come alive, each with its own unique charm. But with the sunshine comes a few considerations to ensure your guests are comfortable and the party gets going. So, crank up the summer vibes and get ready to take notes, because I’m here to share some tips for a wedding that’s hot in all the right ways!
Beating the Heat:
-
Timing is Everything:
Consider a late afternoon ceremony or an evening reception to avoid the peak heat of the day. Opt for earlier in the summer (June) or later (August) to potentially dodge the hottest weeks.
-
Venue with Options:
Look for a venue with both indoor and outdoor spaces. This allows guests to escape the heat during the ceremony or mingle outdoors during the reception.
-
Keep it Cool:
Provide fans, parasols, or cold refreshing towels for guests. Offer plenty of iced water and consider incorporating cool treats like popsicles or ice cream into the dessert table.
Embracing the Season:
-
Lighten Up:
Encourage light and airy attire for both you and your guests. Think flowy dresses, breathable fabrics, and lighter suit colors for the gents.
-
Seasonal Touches:
Infuse your décor with summery elements! Think vibrant flowers, citrus centerpieces, or a beachy theme for an outdoor ceremony.
-
Let the Music Flow:
Summer is all about fun and vibrancy! Create a playlist that reflects this, with upbeat classics and some great dance hits. Don’t forget to include some slow jams for those romantic moments under the stars.
Bonus Tip: Be Prepared!
Summer can be unpredictable. Have a backup plan for rain (a tent or covered space) and consider bug spray for outdoor locations.
By following these tips and working with your vendors, you can create a summer wedding that’s both comfortable and unforgettable. Now, let’s get that dance floor ready to sizzle!
