It’s officially summer (in 2 days), and you know what that means.

Sweat stains, mosquito’s, and broken AC’s
Margaritas by the pool, fun at the beach and summer-time weddings!

Summer weddings in Houston can be a little tricky, but a lot of fun if you follow a few simple rules.

1. Please, please, please do not have an outdoor wedding at high-noon in the middle of summer. Summer outdoor weddings in Houston can be really beautiful and tolerable closer to dusk, but stifling closer to noon.
2. Be aware of your surroundings.
   1. AstroTurf traps heat. It could be 80 degrees in the shade, but 160 in the middle of the turf.
   2. Concrete reflects light & heat.
   3. Consider a wedding under ancient oak trees.
3. Make sure you have a nearby facility with AC & cool drinks on hand.
4. Offer fans or umbrellas to your guests for your ceremony (if you are having an outdoor wedding).
5. Have a sunscreen & mosquito spray station.
