If a family lives on the west coast of the United States, then chances are that an affordable, fun, and new vacation destination for this year's family get away could include the east coast of the country. The eastern United States is full of history, large cities, tourist destinations, and plenty of fun, which makes it a great option for those families that want to get away from their norm while not overspending or even leaving the country.
Consideration 1: evening events. Hold your wedding and reception in the evening as spring still gets up to 100 degrees in the afternoon. No one wants to be outside with the sun beating straight down. Wait for the cooler evening to start the festivities.
Consideration 2: shady side. Put the wedding and festivities on the east side of a building or the trees to block the heat of the setting sun. You should also consider holding the reception after your wedding in a hotel. Many hotels offer beautiful spaces that would be perfectly appropriate for a wedding reception. If you live in the Stamford area, there are many hotels in Stamford that offer their spaces for weddings and wedding receptions. You could hold your wedding outside and then hold your reception in one of the many beautiful hotels in Stamford.
Consideration 3: misters and water bottles. A few misters on the side of a building and outskirts of the party offer an amazing break from the heat without drenching your guests in moisture. Place chilled water bottles with a napkin next to each seat in the house just a few minutes before guests start arriving. The water will help them keep cool while the napkin helps them clean up the sweat from the bottle.
Holding your wedding during the winter months may not be what you had in mind. But if you need to save money, that is a great way to do it. Holding your wedding during a winter month will also help you to save on a lot of other parts of your wedding. Caterers and florists are also going to be offering their services at a cheaper rate during the off-season.
Obviously, a family may not be able to traverse the entire eastern seaboard to look at all of these and many other different attractions, but choosing a few within the same geographical area will give the family the ability to have a schedule for the vacation. If, however, the family does wish to travel up and down the coast line, a few tips for such travel may come in handy.
The first tip is that the east coast utilizes trains much more than does the west coast. For this reason, often a ticket on a train is all one will need to travel from city to city in the upper north east.
Consideration 7: umbrellas (matching the bride's colors). Purchase wooden umbrellas that match the color of the dcor for guests. Put them in buckets by the entry way for guests to borrow on their way in and return on their way out. Let them take the shade around wherever they choose to go.
Consideration 8: bug spray. This particular favor will largely be circumstantial. Some areas are more bug infested than others. If yours isn't too bad, you might not need to purchase this. If your location attracts a lot of mosquitos, bees, or other obnoxious pests though, you'll want to provide bug spray for guests to use on their way in. Also consider putting up a few bug lamps throughout to make sure the bugs have no inkling to come near. With the heat of the day at your backs, your guests won't suffer, and your wedding photography will reflect that. You'll be better satisfied with the events of the day, as will your guests. It's not too late for that dream spring wedding.
