Posted on July 18, 2011 by Wedding in the Tetons

Avoiding wardrobe malfunctions on your big day, with a little thought and some planning ahead of time. Don’t forget that an outdoor wedding can offer challenging conditions for hair and decorations.

Avoid light fabrics like chiffons and china silks in your dress and the bridesmaid dresses. Tell your hairstylist that you’ll be having an outdoor wedding so she/he can plan a style that won’t leave you looking like Cousin It! Men in the wedding party should use pomade or other styling product. Again, tell your guests in a printed insert so that they can plan accordingly. And of course, make sure your tent will stand up to gusting winds or find an indoor backup plan.

Planning For Warm Weather

Posted on July 11, 2011 by Wedding in the Tetons

So you’re planning an outside summer wedding, here are some tips to help out.

Think about what the weather will likely be at the time of day your outdoor wedding. Sunny and hot? Don’t leave your guests uncomfortably melting – give guests ice-cold bottles of water as they are seated. Consider printing your wedding program on a fan so that guests may cool themselves. Don’t forget to have plenty of sunscreen on hand as well. Sit your guests so that sun is at their backs or Opt to have a beautiful sunset wedding to beat the daytime heat.

Unideal Conditions. The ideal outdoor wedding location has an indoor location waiting just in case. Have a backup plan in place that includes room to move everything indoors. The weather in Teton Valley can change fast, don’t get caught out in a thunder shower. A tent is another option, but only for light to moderate rain storms. A heavy rain will soak the ground underneath, leaving guests with soggy and muddy shoes. Make sure any tent you rent is sturdy so it won’t flip over, and that it has thick and weighted sides.
