1. Parasol... one for the sun!
Is very hot weather predicted on your wedding day? Or have you just been invited to a summer wedding on a very hot day? Be a trendsetter and provide a trendy parasol! This is a fashionable way to keep the sun's rays out of your face.
2. Personalised water and straws
Drinking enough water is super important when the temperatures go up. Provide personalised water bottles and fun paper, metal or glass straws for your guests. For this, choose straws in bright colours or straws that match the theme of your wedding. Your lipstick will stay on nicely, everyone will be hydrated AND you can fully enjoy the bright sunshine.
3. Handkerchiefs
On hot days, handkerchiefs are extra handy. Not only to wipe away tears, but also to secretly dab off a little sweat. Provide a nice basket with packets of handkerchiefs to make things a little easier for your guests during your summer wedding. An extra touch everyone will appreciate!
4. Sun hats
Are you organising your ceremony outdoors and there are no trees to provide shade? Provide sun hats for your guests! Think cute straw hats with a bow or playfulbucket hats. You can also match these to the theme of your wedding, with a pattern or fun colour. Or: choose white hats with your initials on.
5. Fans... cause you look hot!
Summer weather and bright sunshine call for a fan! This way, you immediately bring Spanish vibes to your wedding. White lace fans are a popular choice for weddings. Fans provide a cool breeze to keep your guests cool and are also a fun accessory for the photos!
6. Ice creams
Perhaps one of the most important things to think about when the sun is shining heavily: ice creams! Reception or evening party: ice creams cool you down. You and your guests will enjoy a delicious refreshment that will certainly be welcome!
