Here’s a few tips to minimise the impact of the heat.
If where you’re getting ready doesn’t have air conditioning, don’t get dressed too early! And be the last to get your makeup done. Open some windows to get a cross wind blowing through.
Set Your Makeup. Summer heat can wreak havoc on your makeup. Add in all of the hugging and the emotions from your big day, and makeup can quickly become a challenge. So use a setting spray or powder.
Make sure you have some blotting tissues in your go-to bag and a little electric fan!
Be sure to drink plenty of water. I always recommend drinking some dioralyte in the morning, to ensure you stay hydrated throughout the day. Make sure there’s a bottle of water by your chairs in the ceremony, and also in the wedding car.
Choose Your Wedding Dress Wisely. Wedding gowns can be thick, heavy, and hot! Choosing a light(er) weight dress is ideal for the summer bride. Less fabric keeps you cooler and that means you are much less likely to sweat in your wedding dress.
Think Sandals! Your feet will be working overtime the day of your wedding. Don’t forget to take care of them with the right type of comfortable and breathable footwear.
Keep Your Hair Up. If being hot on your wedding dress is a concern, an updo is the way to go. These can be great styles like elegant chignons or relaxed buns, and they’ll keep you neck lovely and cool.
