Between the happy tears, the dancing, the champagne toasts, and those sunny outdoor ceremonies, weddings can be surprisingly dehydrating. And not just for the couple, but for the guests, too! While it may not be the first thing on your planning checklist, making sure everyone stays hydrated is one of those thoughtful little details that can make a big difference in how comfortable and enjoyable your celebration is. Luckily, keeping guests refreshed can be easy, and even fun, with a few simple touches. Keep reading to learn why hydration matters and how to work it into your big day!
Warm Weather Weddings Need A Plan
If you’re planning a spring or summer wedding, especially one with outdoor elements, hydration becomes even more important. Warm temps, sun exposure, and a packed timeline can leave guests feeling drained if water or refreshing drinks aren’t readily available. Celebrating in lush gardens and dreamy outdoor ceremony spaces are perfect for warm-weather weddings. But even the most picture-perfect summer day calls for a hydration game plan. Offering chilled water stations or welcome beverages at the ceremony entrance is a great way to start the day on the right note.
Add Stylish And Functional Water Stations
Staying hydrated doesn’t have to mean passing out plastic water bottles. Get creative with it! You can set up infused water stations with flavors like lemon-lavender or strawberry-basil. Stylish dispensers and elegant signage will keep things looking polished while making hydration feel like a luxe experience instead of an afterthought. You can even match the station to your decor. Think rustic barrels for a garden wedding or sleek glass canisters for a modern affair.
Don’t Forget Non-Alcoholic Beverage Options
Cocktail hour is a wedding favorite, but not everyone wants a drink that’s spiked. Having refreshing non-alcoholic options like iced tea, lemonade, sparkling water, or mocktails, ensures everyone has something delicious and hydrating to sip on throughout the day. Mocktail bars have been trending for good reason: they’re fun, inclusive, and perfect for keeping things festive without the booze. You can even name a signature mocktail after your dog, your favorite vacation spot, or a cute inside joke as just another way to add personality to your celebration.
Keep The Wedding Party Hydrated Too
While guests are mingling and sipping cocktails, don’t forget about your crew! Between hair, makeup, photos, and nerves, the wedding party can forget to hydrate early in the day. Stock the getting ready suites with plenty of water, electrolyte drinks, and light snacks to keep everyone energized. Trust us, your wedding party will thank you, especially when it’s time for photos and toasts!
