#6: Hot Takes on Hot Weddings: Warm Weather Wisdom and Our Ultimate Wedding Do’s & Don’ts

July 09, 2025 • Season 1 • Episode 6

Planning or attending a summer wedding? This episode is your no-fluff guide to making it through the heat and the chaos. We’re sharing must-know tips for warm weather weddings, why your rain plan needs a serious upgrade, and how to build a wedding timeline that actually works. Plus, we’re calling out the stuff that needs to stop: guests arriving too early, yoga pants on the dance floor, and bridesmaids being used as filler. We also dive into ceremony flow, vendor etiquette, and why rehearsals aren’t optional.

Get ready for real talk, good laughs, and practical advice to help your summer wedding run smooth from “I do” to the bouquet toss.
