Tips for Planning a Summer Wedding
It’s possible to have a beautiful wedding no matter what season you schedule it in. With the right party supplies and these helpful tips, your summer wedding will go off without a hitch, despite the heat.
Help Your Guests Handle the Heat
Your guests should enjoy your wedding as much as you, so there are a few different items you’ll need to keep them comfortable in the heat. Summer party equipment like fans, portable air conditioners, and tent rentals will be your best friends during a summer wedding . You should also have a lot of ice water—served with lemon or cucumber slices, perhaps—and sunscreen available.
Keep Yourself Cool
Don’t forget to protect yourself and the bridal party in the heat. Choose your gown, tuxedos, and bridesmaids dresses in lighter fabrics that breathe. Keep your makeup and hairstyles light—heavy makeup will run and look oily, and an elaborate up-do will most likely fall or become frizzy in hot, humid weather.
Store Food Carefully
Be sure anything that needs to be kept cool or fresh—like seafood, cheese, and salad—is constantly kept on a cooled serving dish. Try to make your menu as light and fresh as possible; vegetables, fruits, and light meats are perfect summer food. Make sure the food is covered to keep flies and bugs away.
Choose Your Decorations Wisely
Ask your florist to arrange summer flowers in your bouquet; some flowers can wilt and discolor in the summer heat. You may consider silk flowers, paper flowers, and even broach-filled bouquets instead. Make sure your centerpieces can withstand the heat, as well. If they use water, make sure the water doesn’t evaporate.
American Party Rental is the company you should pick for your summer wedding equipment in Austin, TX. We have all of the appropriate wedding rentals you’ll need to make your day go as smoothly as possible. Call us at (512) 236-5773 or visit online to see our rental catalog.

How to Serve Food at Your Wedding Reception
One of the best parts of a wedding is undoubtedly the food served at the reception. Guests look forward to seeing what the host will choose to serve and delight in taking part in the eating. If you’re looking into catering and wedding supply rentals in Austin, consider trying something unique. Read on to learn about different and creative ways to serve your wedding guests.
Have a Barbecue
Barbecuing is always a crowd favorite, and it’s great for a casual wedding held outdoors. You can easily rent barbecue equipment at a low cost and prepare food for a large amount of people. Hire a designated team to barbecue so that your wedding party can relax and enjoy the festivities. Barbecue is easy to serve in a buffet style, with guests lining up and choosing their food and toppings along the way.
Set Up Food Stations
Food stations are a great way to make sure that every guest is happy, especially if you have a large number of guests. You can also take into account everyone’s dietary needs with different tables that serve various foods. Set up a station for each type of food, such as seafood, pasta, or Chinese cuisine, and encourage people to experiment. Keep in mind that this can be a more expensive catering option, but it is a fun choice if it fits your budget.
Serve a Late Brunch
A fun and different way to serve your wedding guests is to cater with breakfast or brunch foods. Especially great for a morning wedding, brunch during the reception is a fun option that may set your wedding apart. Options are endless and preparation is easy with foods like bagels and spreads, pancakes, and specialty meats. You can also choose to have a chef at an omelet station where guests can choose their fillings.
