Author:  Marisilda Garcia

Summertime. Soaking up the California sun, brunches by the beach and a perfect time for your wedding. With longer days and picturesque locations, California summers provide a perfect backdrop for you and your loved one to say, “I do.”

When planning an outdoor summer wedding, keep the weather in mind. Although Southern California doesn’t get much rain, temperatures from May-August can vary. Choosing a beach as the setting for your wedding allows for ocean breezes and light wind to cool off your guests.

California is home to beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Enjoying an early morning, sunrise ceremony may seem unconventional, but it’s a beautiful way for you and you’re guests to come together to celebrate your nuptials. Not an early riser? As the sun sets in the west, you’re sure to have a beautiful wedding as the sun goes down and cooler weather to enjoy.

Happy Planning!
