Cool treats for hot weather weddings
How do you help guests keep cool during your summer wedding? With iconic hot weather treats, jazzed up for your big day!
Here are some ideas for making it fun to beat the heat.
Ice on wheels
Hire a snow cone truck to set up at your wedding, and ask that it be stocked with all the favorite flavors. Add a personal touch to the paper cones with personalized seals.
Go frozen
Frozen watermelon on a stick. Frozen berries on skewers to stir into drinks. Use summer’s bountiful supply of fresh fruit to keep your cool.
Make lemonade
Ask your caterer to set up a lemonade station with a variety of different flavors and fruit purees to mix in. Make sure you have fun glasses like drinking jars and cute straws for sipping.
Popsicles in champagne
Make up a giant batch of fruity frozen popsicles and have them right next to the champagne. Guests can enjoy both the fruit and the fizz at once.
Cocktail popsicles
Red wine, mint julep, margarita, champagne – your favorite cocktail can be frozen up into a refreshing, grown up take on the popsicle.
Old favorites
Everybody loves ice cream sundaes and root beer floats. Guests will have a great time creating their own at a station specializing in these faves.
Be sure to have a good supply of personalized coasters, napkins and guest towels handy for when the frozen goodies start to melt.
Floral bridesmaid dress trend: do it right
Your wedding is the one day of your life when you can go all-out on flowers. So don’t stop at the bouquets, swags, arrangements and petals on the aisle!
Get your gals in on the petal power with the latest trend: floral bridesmaid dresses. How do you make the look work? Here’s some advice.
Mix and match
Make your wedding party super colorful by dressing each bridesmaid in a different floral print dress. The dresses don’t have to match, but a coordinated theme like style, length and general colors will create a cohesive look.
All in a row
When every bridesmaid is wearing the same floral print dress, your look will be so sweet. Each bridesmaid can stand out with a different color shrug, cardigan or wrap – and matching shoes for fun.
Flower accents
Solid-colored bridesmaid dresses with floral print tops or skirts allow you to make a bigger statement with their jewelry, bouquets and shoes.
Don’t want to distract from the look of your floral bridesmaid dresses? Have them carry bouquets of greenery or mossy wreaths with just a few blooms. Keep the jewelry simple and have the girls wear neutral or nude shoes to make the dress pop.
