We are in to the hot days of summer!  You really want an outdoor wedding but how do you keep your guests comfortable when the temps are in the upper 80s and 90s?  Read on for some creative ideas!

Place cold water bottles in a cute cooler for your guests to grab before they sit down at the ceremony site.

Make your ceremony programs into fans.

Get married under our Sycamore Veranda or under our sycamore tree so guests are not sitting in the direct sun.

Have your ceremony later in the evening.

Get married inside our air conditioned main hall!

As much as we love summer weddings, it always pays off to plan for your guests’ comfort.  Happy summer wedding planning!
