Tips for a Summer Wedding in New Jersey

Carefully Choose Location

• A beach may be beautiful, but it may also be windy with loudwaves that are hard to hear over.

• If you’re at any public place where there is residual noise,then look into renting clip-on microphones so everyone canhear the ceremony.

Choose an Indoor-Outdoor Location

• If you haven’t booked your venue, then look for a beautifulreception site that offers both outdoor and indoor areas.

• Guests can decide if they want to be in the outdoor elements,or comfortable inside in the air conditioned building.

Rent Portable Fans

• If your wedding will be in a tent or out in the open air, be sureto rent portable fans.

• Invest well in plenty of these fans for everyone’s comfort, andplace them around the seating area.

Serve Cool Beverages

• Outdoor wedding guests love to have fresh, ice-cold wateravailable during the event.

• If you’re having a more informal wedding, then considerstocking the bar or buffet with ice-filled coolers of waterbottles.

Plan your Pictures

• Wedding pictures taken at or around noon will have unflattering shadows.

• Try to take your pictures in the morning or later in the afternoon/evening.

Have Light Food

• During your cocktail hour, don’t serve anything too heavy.Serve fruit skewers, shrimp cocktail, crisp veggies and otherlight appetizers.

Decorations

• Instead of flowers that will wilt, consider less expensivelanterns or other decorations that hold up in the sun.

Bridal Costumes

• Look for lighter bridal costumes that breathe, and won’t makeyou and your wedding party sweat.
