5 tips that’ll make your summer wedding in Vancouver all the more magical
So, you’re planning a summer wedding? How exciting! With blue skies, warm sun, long days, and an overall sense of joy in the air, it’s the perfect season to celebrate love.
But no matter the time of year, weddings always take a lot of preparation, so it’s easy to get a little overwhelmed at times.
To ensure your Vancouver summer wedding is nothing short of extraordinary, we’ve teamed up with Truffles Fine Foods, a local catering company, to put together a list of helpful tips that will make your special day all the more magical.
Host it all outdoors

When planning your wedding, why not take advantage of the summer sun? Because, as we all know, when it’s gone, it’s gone (looking at you, Raincouver). Host your wedding outdoors, where you can be surrounded by beautiful scenery with fresh air, natural light, and open space.
You can choose from a plethora of enchanting locations, such as a beach, garden, vineyard — or even your own backyard. Of course, it’s always good to have a backup plan in place in case of any last-minute weather changes.
Serve refreshing drinks
An outdoor wedding during a Vancouver summer means that, inevitably, you and your guests are going to be feeling the heat. Along with providing tons of sunscreen, make sure to keep everyone cool and refreshed by serving up an array of cold drinks, like lemonade, iced tea, or chilled wine.
Or, to make things a little more fun, why not create a signature cocktail for your event? It could be a playful twist on a classic, or something totally unique that captures the essence of your love story. [does TFF serve cocktails? we can weave in messaging here]
Incorporate seasonal flowers

Summer is the time of year when everything is in bloom and there’s colour all around, so why not infuse the beauty of the season into your wedding?
Use flowers like sunflowers, daisies, roses, or any others that you love to create an atmosphere of romance and really evoke that lush, summery vibe.
Create fun activities

One surefire way to make your wedding a fun experience for everyone who attends is to have some entertaining activities where everyone can participate. This is also a perfect way to get guests to mingle — so get creative!
For example, a photo booth is always a hit at weddings. All you need to do is set up a simple backdrop and provide fun props for your guests to take pictures and make lasting memories. How about some backyard games? The opportunities for connection are endless.
