July wedding fun from Vows by Valerie - Wedding Officiant
July is the month for sunshine, HEAT, and yes—bugs! When planning a summer ceremony, keeping your guests comfortable should be just as important as the décor.
When planning your special day, think beyond beautiful details and focus on the practical by helping your friends and family stay cool, hydrated, and at ease throughout the celebration.
Consider thoughtful touches like bug spray and handheld fans to help guests stay refreshed, cool and bite free in the summer heat.
A simple pre-ceremony hydration station, along with thoughtful touches like handheld fans and bug spray, is an easy addition that makes a big impact and helps set the tone for a relaxed, enjoyable day.
💧 Offer ice-cold water and fruit-infused refreshers
🍓🫐 For a festive touch, use fruits and herbs that match your wedding colors!
🪭 Set out handheld fans to help guests stay cool
🦟 Don't forget bug spray, especially for outdoor celebrations
✨ Pro Tip: Place your hydration station where guests naturally gather before the ceremony and add a few extra bottles of water near the seating area. Guests are much more likely to stay hydrated when refreshments are easy to access!
Whether you're hosting a backyard wedding, an intimate micro wedding, or a large celebration, these thoughtful details help your guests enjoy every moment of your special day. Handheld fans also double as lovely keepsakes to remember the day. Happy guests make for a happy day!
