Wedding Extras – Have we gone too far?

by

A tweet caught my eye today – admiring someone’s “Day After Wedding Shoot.”  Is this a thing? Disturbing, if you ask me.  The wedding industry puts a lot of pressure on couples.  The “musts” have expanded through the years. We’ve hit a point where what’s expected has ballooned- and at a time when people’s ability to finance these more and more extravagant add-ons is more and more tenuous. This last one just put me over the edge a little. What do you think?

The weather gets warm here – we’re not disputing it.  Wedding vendors in Palm Springs work with this challenge to provide clients comfortable celebrations while enjoying the beautiful desert scenery.  Here are some insider tips on how to beat the heat and enjoy your ceremony or reception outdoors.

Provide functional favors

A basket full of parasols in your color palate serves to add color and texture to your celebration, as well as keep your guests out of the sun.  Have them personalized with your names, wedding date or a motif.

Made in the shade

An obvious choice would be to provide some sort of covering.  This could range from the most functional tent, to an artistic draping of fabric.  You may also choose a venue and time of day that has a covered patio area.

Water…aaah

Hydration is key, and serving water, to guests upon arrival is a must.  Use large dispensers and infuse the water with mint, cucumber and citrus fruit to create a refreshing pick-me-up.

Hopefully these ideas will help cool you and your guests down. Wedding vendors in Palm Springs know many more tricks and tips to keeping cool.  Palm Springs is a beautiful wedding location, don’t let the heat scare you away!
