And while our average temperature is 85 degrees Fahrenheit, feeling so much better than the 31 degrees up north- the heat on the beach can still cause some discomfort. So here is a list of ways that we read from our colleagues to help keep your self and your guests cool while they wait for your arrival down the aisle.
- Just think it's the coldest day of the year, your body will in few minutes accept the solution, hopefully, and you will need an extra jacket!"
- Bring a change of shirt should the one you are wearing get a bit sweaty.
- Sprays anti-perspirant on your feet, back and chest. This prevents you from sweating as much as you usually would and helps keep you much drier than normal. This is for the men!
- A black shirt, although not good for being out in the sun, helps a great deal in hiding wet spots when sweating.
- I also bring a small cooler with several re-freezable ice packs and several bottles of water.
This is small enough (size of a lunchbox) that I can carry it around with my camera bag if needed. - I have had brides be very appreciative if I have a cold bottle of water ready for them.
- I also do not wear a jacket unless the venue calls for it, but by then we are inside with air conditioning.
- Start out from home well hydrated
- Carry water and drink it! It doesn't have to be cold, you just need the wet to replace what you lose.
- Pace yourself and don't over-exert.
- Eat lightly when you eat.
- Of course a fan- but there are battery operated fan that even allow some cool water to come out
- Umbrella- instant shade!
- Freeze fruits before you go and bring them with you- grapes, oranges and apples- of course watermelon!
- Wear natural fibers- cotton and linen are popular in the tropics for a reason.
- And if you are feeling too hot- walk and place your feet in the cool water.
Stay cool here is South Florida and enjoy
