To help your guests beat the heat at a summer wedding, especially if it’s outdoors, you may want to serve them cold refreshments as they arrive. Nothing cools you off better than a nice cold glass of iced tea or lemonade, so I’m sure your guests will appreciate this thoughtful, inexpensive touch.
Real Simple has several great recipes that put a twist on these classic summer beverages: Iced teas from top left: ginger & honey, pomegranate & lime, watermelon & basil, peach & mint; Lemonades: classic, ginger zinger, tropical, farmer’s lemon-mint cooler
Of course pre-ceremony beverages aren’t reserved only for summer weddings - you can do apple cider in the fall or hot chocolate in the winter. And you can never go wrong with water and alcohol. 
Are you planning on serving any pre-ceremony beverages?
i was thinking of doing water bottles, its still hot in october in Phoenix! LOL! anyone have a template for the labels by chance?
We’re doing italian infusion jars one of pink lemonade and one of iced tea 
Thought it would be a nice touch for our outdoor ceremony.
Our venue serves water, lemonade and iced tea.
Depending on how hot it is, we may or may not do pre-ceremony custom water bottles. We’re not planning on having a long ceremony though.
we served bubble tea - it was quite the hit
I wasn’t planning to til I read this! But I know how hot my church can get in the summertime, so this is a fantastic idea.
Ditto with melissa–it may be worth our while to put the “cocktail hour” jars out ahead of time. Thanks for the idea!
Pre-ceremony, just lots of water! We considered some lemonades/juices, but it truly won’t be *that* hot on July 7th in WA.
I also was thinking of water bottles. It is outdoors so do they bring the bottles to their seats and then there are water bottles all over for photos, etc.?
I am not sure where you’re getting your info, but great topic. I needs to spend some time learning more or understanding more. Thanks for magnificent info I was looking for this info for my mission.
