Most of us already know just how popular a summer wedding can be. In fact, summer is considered to be the most popular time of year for weddings. With flowers in bloom and the warmth of the sun, it is no wonder that people love celebrating their weddings during the summer. Planning a summer wedding requires some thinking ahead, especially when it comes to the weather.

If you anticipate there being bugs present, which is highly likely during the summer, then you will be doing you and your guests a favor by planning ahead. Have citronella candles around to serve as décor as well as a deterrent to unwanted pests. Your guests will also be grateful to you if you supply them with bug spray. 

For an outdoor wedding ceremony in the summer, you might want to provide your guests with buckets of ice-cold bottled water before the ceremony even begins.  Just Right Catering can supply all the necessary drinkware, tableware and food to keep your guests happy. Don’t forget that timing is everything for a sunset wedding. Try to avoid scheduling the ceremony during the hottest time of day. You might also want to set the reception so that it coincides with the sun setting. That would provide your guests with a beautiful sight.

During the summer, you might want to consider getting a light, shorter, and more casual reception dress that you can change into, especially if you plan on having a full-length gown for your wedding ceremony. For you and your wedding entourage, try to choose dresses and suits made out of lightweight materials. You don’t want to be sweating because of a poor fabric choice. You might also want to put on sunscreen ahead of time so that your skin is protected from the sun.

If you have a sense of humor and don’t need everything to be 100% formal, you can even wear sunglasses. You can even take it a step further and provide the guests with sunglasses as favors, or you can just gift your wedding entourage with sunglasses that they can wear all day long.

These are just a few factors to consider when planning a summer wedding. At Just Right Catering, we have many wonderful options for you when it comes to a nice seasonal wedding. You can choose from our many buffet menus and appetizer choices. We even have cold appetizers that will be delicious and refreshing for you and your guests on a hot summer day.
