From Flowers to Limos: 4 Dos and Don’ts for a Summer Wedding in NYC

June 17, 2010

Book a vintage Rolls Royce wedding limo for your special day in NYC.

According to TheKnot.com, 13% of weddings take place in June, which make it the second most popular month for weddings. The third and fourth most popular months are July and August. There are plenty of reasons why many people would like to get married in the summer; the weather’s nice, you can have an outdoor wedding, and it’s easier for out-of-town guests to make it to the event. However there are some downfalls of summer weddings, like the heat, the bugs and the potential summer rain. To prevent potential problems, from the limos being late to the flowers wilting, here’s a list of dos and don’ts for a summer wedding in NYC.

Do choose light clothing. No bride wants to be sweating in her dress with her makeup running down her face on her wedding day. Choose a light fabric that breathes, such as silk for a summer wedding, especially if it’s going to be outdoors. Many brides have been choosing shorter skirts lately, which is perfect for a summer wedding. The groom should wear a light linen suit and nice leather sandals. For an even more relaxed look (perhaps for a beach wedding), the groom can wear khakis and a button-down shirt and the bride can wear a fancy sun dress.

Don’t choose flowers that will wilt in the heat. Choose hearty flowers with a waxy texture such as Hawaiian blooms like orchids. Ginger halcyons, birds-of-paradise, and tiger lilies will survive the heat as well. Some brides choose water-submerged flower centerpieces featuring orchids. These keep cool underwater all day so wilting is not an issue.

Do remember to book a superior limos for your wedding day in NYC. Since summer weddings are very popular, the best and most popular limo companies book dates several weeks to months in advance. To make sure you have the dream limo for your wedding, book as early as possible. For an intimate and romantic experience, reserve a vintage Rolls Royce wedding limo just for you and the groom.

Don’t forget to provide shade or A/C for your guests. If you’re having an outdoor wedding, a shaded seating area is a must. Some tent rentals include portable A/C units which is great for guests who are all sitting close to each other on a hot summer day. People are not in the mood to party when they’re too hot and uncomfortable; you don’t want your crowd to turn on you or have the only memory of your wedding be “it was so hot!” Make sure there’s bottled water scattered around the event site and don’t schedule your wedding to begin midday because that’s when the sun is the hottest. Instead, schedule dinner for sunset and plan everything else around that.

Following these tips will help you plan the best summer wedding possible and prevent any potential problems before they arise. Remember to plan ahead to avoid unnecessary stress and enjoy the beautiful gifts this season will bring you and your new spouse.

Tips to Follow When Making Limo Arrangements for a Wedding in NYC

May 14, 2010

This Rolls Royce limo is perfect for a wedding in NYC.

You know you want to rent a limo for your wedding in NYC. However, what you don’t know is how many to rent, who sits where and who is supposed to organize the transportation. Planning a wedding is hard work already, you don’t need to be stressing about whether or not a limo is booked, proper limo etiquette and limo seating arrangements too. Not to mention, the decision of what kind of limo to rent can be hard as well. Following this guide can help make your wedding planning much easier and the big day run smoothly.

  • Generally the bride’s family organizes transportation for the bride and her bridesmaids to the wedding and the reception. The best man is usually in charge of organizing the transportation for the groomsmen and drives the groom to the ceremony. However, this varies on wedding to wedding, there is no general rule involving a limo for a wedding. It would be acceptable for the bride to book a limo for her attendants and the groom for his. This would probably be the easiest way to ensure all the reservations are made for a perfect NYC wedding.
  • When it comes to choosing the limo, you need to make sure you have one big enough to fit everyone comfortably. Keep in mind that the bride and bridesmaids might be wearing puffy dresses that take up more space. Trying to stuff 10 people into a limo that seats 6-8 is unpleasant and it also wrinkles clothes. If you have a very large group, the Cadillac Escalade limo or the Hummer limo would be great for you, they each seat 12-26 passengers. If it’s a small wedding party, consider renting a Rolls Royce classic wedding limo which seats up to 3 passengers.
  • If possible, meet the driver prior to your wedding day. Having a driver you like, with a familiar face can make a big difference on the special day. Also meeting him or her prior to the wedding day allows you to determine if he or she is professional and friendly. Also make sure there is an understanding about the proper wedding day attire.
  • Ask to see the actual limo you will be provided with on your wedding day, this will give you reassurance that you won’t be disappointed on your special day. Also make sure you have a full understanding of what will be charged to the bill. Many limo companies include gratuity for the driver in the bill so you won’t have to worry about tipping the driver, which is one less thing you’ll have to think about on the big day.

Above all, remember your wedding will be one of the best days of your life that you’ll remember forever. Don’t get too stressed out trying to make every detail perfect because it will ruin the moment. Making arrangements far in advance will help you relax as the big day approaches. When it finally comes, take a deep breath and enjoy.
