Thinking of getting married in the summer?? Here are some tips that could save you from a heat disaster!
- Dress for the weather! Make sure you and your wedding party aren’t wearing anything too hot if you’re going to be outside!
- Take photos early! This way you won’t be stuck outside during the hottest part of the day.
- Wear sunscreen under your makeup! If you’re taking photos outside, you don’t want to get burned before you have to walk down the aisle

- Start planning early and be flexible! Summer weddings are high in demand, so make sure you’re thinking ahead.
- Choose a venue with both indoor and outdoor space (like The Rutherford!). This way, you can enjoy the sunshine without getting too hot.
- Keep the weather in mind when choosing your food. No one wants to eat hot soup in the summer heat!
- Plan your makeup accordingly! Avoid liquid makeup that might melt off in the sun. EVERYTHING should be waterproof!!

- Stay hydrated!! Drink water all day, especially if you’re outside a lot. This will help to save your energy and even to cool down!
Hope this helps you to plan your summer wedding! You can never be too prepared!
