Planning a summer wedding in Las Vegas can be such a memorable experience. However, it's important to take care to ensure the comfort and enjoyment of both you and your guests in this Vegas heat.

When selecting the time for your summer wedding, aim late afternoon or early evening. These cooler parts of the day will not only make the outdoor ceremony more pleasant, but also provide better lighting for stunning sunset photography. Just 60 miles north of Las Vegas, you will find the Valley of Fire State Park, which is one of our most sought after outdoor desert venues.

The breathtaking landscape of red rock formations make for such a beautiful setting. Despite the beauty, it is a desert, and temperatures can sore during the summer.


So, if you are set and determined to have your wedding outdoors, remember to choose a place that has some shaded areas for your guests to escape the sun. 

Now lets talk about what should your wedding attire be for these summer months? It’s best to choose clothing that is cool but of course stunning for the pictures. Opt for fabrics that are lightweight such as linen or chiffon. You will be so happy you did.


If you're doing the suit thing, opt for lighter-colored suits made from breathable materials. This can make a huge difference in keeping yourself comfortable.

When it comes to keeping your guests happy at your outdoor wedding, remember these words. Hydration, Hydration, Hydration. In the scorching heat of Las Vegas, it's crucial to keep everyone hydrated. Arrange for numerous water stations throughout the venue , bottled water or you can also incorporate fruit-infused water to further quench guests thirst.

Even though a lot of the outdoor venues have stunning natural beauty for decor. It is definitely not a bad idea to set up shade-providing elements like parasols or umbrellas throughout the outdoor areas. Hand out personalized handheld fans as favors to keep guests cool, and check to see if your venue has option to place misting stations to create refreshing moments for your attendees.
