The Summer weather is very ideal for outdoor events. It’s no wonder many brides prefer to have their weddings in summer. The bright surroundings, clear skies and warmth is great for creating a very romantic memory like tying the knot.
Yes, the daytime temperatures will be hot, Native Arizonians have adapted pretty well to the high summertime temperatures in the dessert, but brides may want to follow some of these tips when creating their perfect wedding celebration.
Preparing for Your Summer Wedding in Arizona
1. Choose the Best Time of Day
The time of day that you plan to have your wedding can make a very big difference in the comfort level of your guests. There are some traditional times that most marriage ceremonies take place, but for a summer Arizona wedding, you might consider an early morning starting time or late afternoon.
2. Help your guests cool off
You might even give paper parasols or beautiful paper fans to guests as a small gift, to shade and cool participants. When evening comes, the temperature in Arizona becomes even more pleasant.
3. Serve really cold drinks
You might consider serving frosty beverages before, during, and after your ceremony. Lovely punch and fruit drinks, cocktails or “mocktails”, with colored straws to match your wedding theme could be a delicious, cooling, and festive addition to the affair.
4. Go with a Cool Menu
When planning your reception menu, think cool salads, colorful fruit canapes, ice cream stations, and lots of cold water. Food, appetizers, and desserts should all be cool and refreshing.
5. Get some Shade in the Wedding Venue
Luckily, the intense heat of the sun is dry heat, no humidity, so shade can make a huge difference in the temperature you are experiencing. Make sure your venue has shade trees, a pavilion, or a covered patio.
6. Keep Your Guests Hydrated
Make plans to have water, bottled or otherwise, available at all times. Get the word out to your guests that hydration is of utmost importance in this part of the country. Folks will get busy with the ceremony and all the activities attached to the festivities and may forget to drink their water. Guests should receive frequent reminders to drink, drink, drink.
7. Evaporative Coolers
Most Arizona outdoor venues have evaporative coolers available which add a mist component to the outdoor fans and do a good job at keeping friends and family comfortable.
