Helping your guests keep their cool on your summer wedding day

Helping your guests keep their cool on your summer wedding day.

While the winter months are all about adding the cosy touches that keep guests toasty, couples marrying in summer have to take a different tack to guarantee guest comfort. Hot and humid weather conditions can after all cause just as many problems as wind, rain and snow.

With a little creative thinking and a few accessories however, you can help guests keep their cool, even as temperatures rise, so they can enjoy every minute of your special day.

Add refreshment stations to your venue

Water, cocktails or refreshment stations can be a great addition to your summer wedding, and you’ll be pleased to hear that when marrying at Clearwell, these extras can be all a part of the package with our Sunshine upgrade.

Our Sunshine upgrade is worth £2,000 but is completely free of charge when booking a wedding with us in June, July, August or September 2024. You’ll receive all you need to keep guests cool and thoroughly entertained during the height of summer, including Giant Garden Games, Ice Cream Tricycle, and a Pimm’s or Prosecco Station. You can also invite 40 additional evening guests on us!

Serve a light, fresh and seasonal menu

It’s not just your drinks that should be given a summer twist. Your wedding breakfast and evening catering can be adapted with the season in mind. Serve seasonal fayre that’s fresh and doesn’t weigh heavy on the stomach for the best results. You could even go beyond the traditional buffet by embracing sharing platters and other alternatives.

Cool wedding favours

Wedding favours are an easy way to thank your guests, but they don’t have to be fun or forgettable. They can be practical too.

Summer is in fact the perfect inspiration for your wedding favours, with gifts that cool and help your guests feel comfortable being particularly useful. Here The Knot shares just that paper fans will go down a treat with your guests:

“Summer weddings know how to bring on the heat and, for those taking place outdoors, AC is not available to make things less scorching. These paper fans will provide guests some sweet relief from the hot weather and offer a fun photo prop. What’s even better is you can include your wedding hashtag, a funny line or keep it classic and elegant with your names. Choose a hue to match your summer wedding colours.”

Dress for summer wedding success

Whether you’re the bride, groom or guest, dressing the part is a must. Yet it’s not just the dress code you have to consider when picking your summer wedding ensemble.

Dress with the season in mind by choosing lightweight and breathable fabrics. Lighter fabrics like chiffon and linen can help combat the heat, ensuring everyone looks and feels their very best. This seemingly small consideration can make a big difference to your overall comfort.
