An outdoor wedding is very often a great choice. After all, they look great in photos, and they’ll certainly be memorable. But you don’t want yours to be memorable for the wrong reasons, and one of those reasons is the wedding party all getting too hot and feeling uncomfortable, especially if it’s a really warm and sunny day. With that in mind, here are some ideas about how to dress for an outdoor wedding without overheating.

Choose Breathable Fabrics
The first mistake people usually make when it comes to choosing wedding clothes is assuming that if it’s formal, it’s got to be made out of thick material because it really doesn’t. And actually, there are some great fabrics you can pick that mean you’ll be comfortable and still look like you’re attending a wedding, which is clearly important.
The truth is that heavy synthetic clothes trap heat, and thick linings make it all much worse, and if you’re going to be outside for hours, you need something that allows air to move. That’s why options like men’s linen suits are such a great and highly practical choice because linen breathes properly, it doesn’t cling in the heat, and it feels lighter on the body, which makes a big difference in hot or even warm temperatures.

Happy Friday everyone! How are you all? I am super excited as tomorrow is my birthday! Nik and I are out this evening while Dexter is at a friends house and then I have a lovely day planned on Saturday with Nik and Dexter including lunch, cake, an escape room and then dinner in Leeds. Sunday I am meeting up with my best friend, so a lovely weekend all round. What about you? Today I am taking you to Devon in the spring of last year. I couldn’t believe these pictures took place in May and not July/August, it looks so warm and sunny. Alex and Hannah were married on 3rd May 2025 at Higher Eggbeer in Devon. ‘We loved the stunning views and rustic feel of the venue. We had 100 guests and it took 18 months to plan.’ The whole day is filled with so much joy and laughter and just goes to show why the English countryside is such a wondaful place to tie the knot. Big thanks to RockRose Photography for the wonderful images.
A whirlwind from start to finish. Non stop fun – We didn’t want the day to end.

Rural places rarely hurry. They lean into season and weather, adjusting slowly rather than shifting all at once. In Sorrento and along Portugal’s Douro Valley, cultivation shapes the land without flattening it. Hills remain uneven. Soil remains visible. Rows follow slope rather than correcting it.
These are landscapes that carry work quietly — fruit thickening on branches, grapes tightening on vine — without announcing the labour behind them.
Sun-Drenched Lemon Groves of Sorrento and the Wind-Swept Vineyards of the Douro Valley: Rural Rhythms

Citrus on Terraced Ground
Above the Bay of Naples, lemon trees cluster in small terraces cut into the hillside. Their leaves hold a deeper green beneath sunlight that can feel almost white at midday. Fruit hangs low in places, brushing against shade nets stretched overhead.
The groves do not present themselves dramatically. Stone walls support narrow platforms of earth. A gate stands open. Beyond it, the sea appears briefly between branches, then disappears again.
Travellers passing through the region as part of wider tours of Italy often encounter these trees without ceremony. They are not staged. They sit where soil allows them to root. Wind moves lightly through the canopy, carrying a faint citrus scent that lingers without overwhelming.
By late afternoon, the yellow of the fruit deepens. Shadows gather beneath branches. The grove feels neither crowded nor empty — simply present.

The essence of your wedding day shouldn’t have an expiration date, even though the flowers may wither and the last of the handmade cake will eventually be consumed. From the handpicked playlist that reverberated through the trees to the hand-lettered place cards, the wedding day is a work of intentionality for the contemporary boho bride and groom. However, many couples discover they haven’t thought about how to preserve those memories after the last guest departs.
A wedding archive is much more than just a USB stick thrown away in the junk drawer. It’s a living, breathing archive, filled with all kinds of sensory items — textures, sounds, images — that capture the essence of your marriage.
Read on to discover how you can create a lasting memory that will touch your heart forever!
Tips for Creating a Wedding Archive

How Can You Preserve the Physical Memorabilia?
Even though our world is increasingly digital, there is a certain magic in the tactile aspects of a wedding. The “paper trail” and botanical details of your day should be carefully preserved for your physical archive.
Invitations and the Stationery Suite
Save more than one invitation. To prevent yellowing, place the entire wedding stationery set in glassine envelopes that are acid-free. The focal points of your visual narrative can be a personalized crest or a specially created watercolor map of your location.
Preserving the Natural Elements
Your bouquet doesn’t have to dry out days after the wedding and remain just a memory. There are many floral preservation techniques that can turn your bridal blooms into resin bookends, pressed-frame art, or even botanical jewelry. A few dried petals from your tablescapes in your archive box can add a layer of organic, physical texture that photos alone cannot replicate.
