Samantha & Cory‘s Wedding at Anthony’s Ocean View in New Haven, CT was a sun-kissed celebration filled with love and joy. Planning a summer wedding? Congratulations on choosing the season of warmth and sunshine! Embracing the summer vibes can make your special day even more magical. Here are three key tips to ensure your summer celebration is an unforgettable hit!
- Choose an Outdoor Oasis: Embrace the summer vibes by selecting an outdoor venue like a garden, beach, or vineyard. Natural beauty enhances the vibrant colors of the season. Have a backup plan for unexpected weather to ensure a seamless celebration.
- Keep Cool and Comfy: Beat the heat by providing shade, refreshing beverages, and thoughtful comforts like handheld fans or parasols for guests. Opt for lightweight bridal party attire to stay fresh throughout the day.
- Time it Right: Schedule your ceremony in the late afternoon or early evening to avoid the scorching midday sun while capturing the magical golden hour for stunning photos. Plan breaks in the timeline for everyone to relax and recharge before the festivities continue.
Remember, a summer wedding is all about celebrating love while enjoying the sunshine. So, soak up the summer joy, keep things breezy, and create unforgettable moments for you and your guests!
