Beat the Summer Wedding Heat

Summer weddings often come with the most delicious chilled beverages and vows exchanged outdoors at sunset. But as you plan what to wear to a celebration this season, don’t forget to pack items that will help you stay cool in hot summer heat. From a portable fan to long lasting sunscreen, head to your next wedding prepared to handle any warm wedding. Here are eight summer wedding must-have products that are essential to pack for weddings in the sun.

Rechargeable Handheld Fan

While it can be beautiful to watch the couple tie the knot outdoors, it can get quite hot. One of the best items you can bring with you is a small rechargeable handheld fan. This gadget can come in handy when you start to sweat mid-ceremony or to help cool you down after a few hours on the dance floor.

BUY IT: Amazon, $15

Folding Handheld Fan

If you want an item that’s easy to pop out and use when you need it, bring a folding handheld fan. This type of fan doesn’t require batteries or a charge to use. You can simply open it up and use it to fan yourself when you’re feeling overheated.

BUY IT: Amazon, $15

Water Bottle Flask

Rather than lugging a giant water bottle around with you at a wedding or waiting for the bar to open up to grab a sip, take a flat water bottle travel flask with you instead. Not only does this item fit nicely in your pocket or purse, but its thin design also won’t take up space.

BUY IT: Amazon, $24

Rectangular Sunglasses

Want to make sure your eyes are protected during the outdoor ceremony or cocktail hour without interrupting the dress code? Opt for a pair of rectangular sunglasses are stylish and trendy. They add an elegant flair to any outfit and are the perfect summer wedding accessory.

BUY IT: Amazon, $12

Sunscreen Face Mist

Spending time outdoors for a summer wedding might keep you under the sun more than you planned for. That’s why its always a good idea to pack a small bottle of sunscreen. Grab one that mists on your face or body so it won’t feel thick on your skin, but will still give you the SPF protection you need.

BUY IT: Amazon, $14

Whole Body Deodorant Spray

After toasting with friends during cocktail hour and dancing the night away at the outdoor wedding, you might want to give yourself a quick refresh. Pack a body deodorant that you can spray on if you start to get sweaty or smelly throughout the night.

BUY IT: Amazon, $14

Cooling Towel

If you know that you often get extra sweaty when outside for a while, pack a cooling towel in a bag that you can pull out when you need a bit of relief or to wipe off excess sweat. These soft and breathable towels use moisture to push away sweat and leave you feeling cool, even on the hottest of days.

BUY IT: Amazon, $9

Foldable Straw Hat

Have a beach, garden, or backyard summer wedding on your calendar? You’ll want to pack a stylish and package straw hat. Grab one that’s foldable and put it when you’re standing under the sun to protect your skin, hair, and makeup.

BUY IT: Amazon, $17
