1. Embrace the Season with Lightweight Attire

North Georgia summers can be warm, so choose breathable fabrics like chiffon, linen, or cotton for wedding attire. Brides may want to opt for a flowy, lightweight gown, while grooms and groomsmen can stay cool in linen suits or dress shirts with suspenders.

2. Plan for Comfort in the Heat

Providing cooling options for guests is essential. Consider offering handheld fans, parasols, or even cold towels during the ceremony. A hydration station with flavored water, lemonade, or iced tea is also a thoughtful touch.

3. Time Your Ceremony Wisely

We recommend avoiding the peak heat of the day and scheduling your ceremony for late afternoon or early evening. Not only will it be cooler, but the golden hour lighting will also create stunning photographs.

4. Keep Guests Cool and Protected

Luckily for you, our covered pavilion allows an outdoor ceremony but ensures that guests are shaded and protected come rain or shine. We also have the natural shade of the property’s trees that make for some stunning photos. Providing sunscreen stations can also be a great addition for guest comfort.

5. Choose Seasonal and Local Florals

Selecting in-season flowers such as hydrangeas, sunflowers, or zinnias will help your arrangements stay fresh longer in the summer heat. Work with a local florist who knows which blooms will thrive in North Georgia’s climate. We love working with Flori Weddings for floral design.

6. Offer Refreshing Summer-Inspired Menu Options

Light, refreshing menu items such as grilled seafood, fresh fruit platters, and signature cocktails infused with citrus or berries are perfect for a summer celebration. An ice cream or popsicle bar can also be a fun treat for guests. We have a preferred vendor list to help make these catering vendor decisions easier!
