Celebrate the Big Day Outdoors

We know that outdoor weddings are not a new trend but they just really go well with the summer wedding season. If you are planning for a smaller celebration, you can simply hold it in your backyard. Outdoor weddings don’t always mean big venues and lots of visitors. Moving the event outdoors just means staying aware of nature and of course, having a scenic backdrop. If you are planning an outdoor wedding this summer, make sure that your guests stay refreshed and comfortable. Prepare plenty of beverages and refreshments. Wherever you are celebrating, setting up a sunshade or a canopy is a great idea to create a relaxing atmosphere for your outdoor gathering space. Depending on your setup, you can choose from rectangular or triangular sun shade sails. Most of them are easy to set up and are portable so you can easily provide cool shade, UV blockage and lower the ambient temperature on your space during hot sunny days.

To show your guest how much you care, you may also provide handheld fans for your guests to use and keep cool during the entire event. Colorful handheld fans can also serve as your wedding favors for everyone to remember the big day.
