1. Choosing the Coolest Venue (pun intended)

First things first, you need to pick the perfect venue for your summer wedding in Texas.

• Look for outdoor spots that offer shade where your squad can chill and escape the blazing sun.
• Oh, and don’t forget to check if there are air-conditioned indoor options too because let’s face it, we all need a break from the heat sometimes.
  
  And here’s a pro tip: find a venue with breathtaking natural scenery that screams Instagram-worthy moments.

If you are considering a 2024 Summer Wedding, now is the time to book your venue tour! That way you can get a pretty good sense of how your actual wedding day will look and feel.

We know how unpredictable Texas weather can be. And you know what they say… “If you don’t like the weather in Texas, wait five minutes.” Well here at Emery’s we’ve got you covered… Literally! So let’s give that old saying the proverbial BOOT – and yes, we are most definitely playing up our Texas roots here, because obvi. Read about the renovations that made Emery’s Buffalo Creek a true Four-seasons wedding venue here.

2. Timing is everything, my friend

When it comes to timing, timing is everything! Say goodbye to sweltering afternoons and hello to magical evenings. Opt for late afternoon or early evening ceremonies when the sun is not trying to roast everyone. Trust us, you’ll thank us later when you’re not melting in your wedding dress. Oh, and imagine those epic sunset photos you’ll capture while the sky turns into a masterpiece. It’s like nature’s own filter!

3. Dress to Impress (and beat the heat)

Let’s talk fashion, k? When it comes to summer weddings in Texas, comfort is key.

• Choose lightweight and breathable fabrics for your dress, like flowing chiffon or breezy linen.
• And ladies, don’t be afraid to go for shorter or tea-length dresses. It’s all about looking fabulous while staying cool and dancing the night away.
• Gents, opt for lighter suits or even trendy linen outfits. Trust us, comfort never goes out of style.

4. Quench that thirst and Feed Those Tummies

Texas summers can make anyone thirsty and hungry, so it’s time to play the refreshment and food game.

• Greet your guests with refreshing welcome drinks like mouthwatering iced tea, zesty lemonade, or fancy fruit-infused water.
• Oh! And did we mentioned we’ve become quite creative with our wine-based cocktails at Emery’s here lately? We’ve expanded our drink selections beyond beer and wine, and are super excited about giving you the option to add signature cocktails to your bar package!

And let’s not forget the menu! Go for light and refreshing options that won’t weigh everyone down.

• Think delicious salads, juicy seasonal fruits, and maybe even some tasty seafood.
• Oh, and did someone say ice cream station? Yes, please! We LOVE these boujee Ice Cream carts from Cypress Photo Camper, one of our preferred vendors here at Emery’s!

5. Keep it Cool for Everyone

When the heat is on, you’ve gotta keep it cool for your guests.

• Set up shade zones with cool tents or utilize natural shade from those mighty Texas trees.
• And let’s bring in some good vibes with cooling stations equipped with fans and misting systems. Your crew will thank you for that instant cooldown!
• Oh, and how about some trendy wedding favors? Fans, parasols, and even sunscreen will make your guests feel like VIPs while staying protected from the sun.
• And don’t forget the basics: make sure there are enough restrooms and water stations to keep everyone fresh and hydrated.

And there you have it!
