Think of Your Guests When You Plan Your Wedding

Summer weddings are spectacular, especially when they are held outdoors. You have the beautiful background of fresh green grass, beautiful trees, flowers in bloom, and if you’re lucky, a lake or an ocean. With the summer breeze gently kissing the cheeks of all your guests, nothing could ruin the feeling of romance in the air. The site of your family and friends dancing under the stars in celebration of your love takes your breath away.

I love summer weddings, and I love it even more when the host and hostess of the wedding have taken every detail into consideration for their guests.

I recently attended a wedding held outdoors and was delightfully surprised at the thought and consideration that went into it. The wedding was an outdoor ceremony under a bright blue sky. My husband and I went to take our seats for the ceremony, only to be stopped by bridesmaids and groomsmen offering us a gift from the bride and groom. We were each handed a pair of designer sunglasses. The bridal party explained that it was a gift from the bride and groom so we could enjoy the ceremony without having to deal with the bright glare of the sunlight. I was then offered an old style Asian fan to cool myself if need be. It was delightful.

The party went on late into the night, and as the sun went down, women in their party dresses began to feel the chill of the summer breeze, something that our bride and groom had anticipated. Almost as though on cue, the bridal party made their way around each table offering a pashmina to each female guest.

All the little things that were done over the course of the ceremony and the reception were great. We really felt special and honoured to be sharing this wonderful moment. The bride and groom did a wonderful job of making all their guests feel special. It all added up to a wonderful touch of class.
