Tips to Host an Extravagant Outdoor Summer Wedding

Colonial Inn in New Jersey offers the perfect venue for outdoor events , be it a wedding, birthday or anniversary celebration. Colonial Inn sets the standard for an unforgettable experience.

There is no doubt summer weddings are beautiful. But, there are some disadvantages of summer weddings like heat and insects that may spoil your wedding.

Tips for a Summer Wedding in New Jersey

Carefully Choose Location

• A beach may be beautiful, but it may also be windy with loud waves that are hard to hear over.

• If you’re at any public place where there is residual noise, then look into renting clip-on microphones so everyone can hear the ceremony.

Choose an Indoor-Outdoor Location

• If you haven’t booked your venue, then look for a beautiful reception site that offers both outdoor and indoor areas.

• Guests can decide if they want to be in the outdoor elements, or comfortable inside in the air conditioned building.

Rent Portable Fans

• If your wedding will be in a tent or out in the open air, be sure to rent portable fans.

• Invest well in plenty of these fans for everyone’s comfort, and place them around the seating area.

Serve Cool Beverages

• Outdoor wedding guests love to have fresh, ice-cold water available during the event.

• If you’re having a more informal wedding, then consider stocking the bar or buffet with ice-filled coolers of water bottles.

Plan your Pictures

• Wedding pictures taken at or around noon will have unflattering shadows.

• Try to take your pictures in the morning or later in the afternoon/evening.

Have Light Food

• During your cocktail hour, don’t serve anything too heavy. Serve fruit skewers, shrimp cocktail, crisp veggies and other light appetizers.

Decorations

• Instead of flowers that will wilt, consider less expensive lanterns or other decorations that hold up in the sun.

Bridal Costumes

• Look for lighter bridal costumes that breathe, and won’t make you and your wedding party sweat.
