Weddings in Summer in the South

Brides, if you want to get married in the summer in the south, where the humidity is high, think about it. Will your wedding be an outdoor wedding? If not, will you want outside photos taken usually before your ceremony? If either are true be prepared to sweat. You are wearing a thick heavy gown. You will get hot. You will sweat. Your makeup will run. Your bride's maids will have the same problem and will complain about it(naturally). Then there are the groom and groom's men. They will be wearing tuxedos that are usually with long sleeve shirts and vests. The groom and groom's men are always delighted when I say they can take off their jackets for some shots. Most of the wedding party shots are taken before the ceremony. By the time the ceremony starts the members of the wedding party are sweaty and tired. The heat and humidity in the south just makes you tired. I suggest to you that you take all of this into consideration when planning your wedding. You might want to schedule a fall, winter or spring wedding instead of a summer wedding. Your wedding party and your photographers will thank you.
