Long Island summer weddings. Plan it right, they can have a promise of beautiful blue skies and stunning sunsets on the water. A perfect backdrop for your big day. However, the warm, humid weather can bring its own set of challenges, particularly when it comes to staying comfortable without compromising on style. At Princess Bridals, we understand the challenge of the right style and attire. Here are some essential tips to help you and your bridal party remain cool and elegant throughout your summer celebration.

Choosing the Right Attire

1. Light and Airy Fabrics: Opt for wedding dresses and groom’s attire made from lightweight materials such as chiffon, linen, organza, or cotton blends. These fabrics breathe easier and allow for better airflow, keeping you cool under the sun.

2. Consider Dress Length: While long gowns are traditional, shorter styles can be ideal for a summer wedding. Tea-length dresses or cocktail styles not only look chic but also minimize the discomfort from heat.

3. Go for Lighter Colors: Light colors reflect rather than absorb sunlight, keeping you cooler. Consider off-white, pale pastels, or even floral prints for a fresh and airy look.

4. Strategic Cutouts and Silhouettes: Dresses with low backs, sleeveless, or strapless designs can help keep you cool. For those who prefer more coverage, opt for designs with lace or mesh sections that provide ventilation.

Groom and Groomsmen Attire

1. Lighter Suit Fabrics: Suits made from linen, seersucker, or lightweight wool are perfect for summer. These fabrics are not only cooler but also maintain a crisp, formal appearance.

2. Consider Skipping the Jacket: For a more casual look, the groom can wear a vest without a jacket or even go for a smart waistcoat and trousers combo. This can be particularly fitting for beach or outdoor venues.

3. Accessorize Smartly: Choose accessories that complement the light feel of summer. Linen ties, breathable leather shoes, and even fun sunglasses can add personality to your outfit while keeping comfort in mind.

Keeping Your Guests Comfortable

1. Thoughtful Venue Choice: If possible, choose a venue that offers both indoor and outdoor spaces. Indoor areas provide a retreat from the heat, especially important for elderly guests or those with health concerns.

2. Cooling Accessories: Provide guests with small but thoughtful accessories such as hand fans, parasols, or even portable mist fans. These can double as favors that guests will appreciate and use long after the wedding.

3. Hydration Stations: Set up stations with ice water, lemonade, or iced tea. Keeping guests hydrated is key to ensuring everyone enjoys the celebration, especially during the warmer parts of the day.

Celebrating in Style and Comfort

A summer wedding doesn’t have to mean sacrificing comfort for style. By choosing the right fabrics, considering alternative dress codes, and planning for the heat, you can ensure that your wedding is as comfortable as it is elegant. Remember, the key is to blend practicality with your personal style to create a day that feels effortless and unforgettable.
