Smitten, not Bitten { Relief Stations }
The idea of an outdoor wedding might be oh so romantic, but the reality isn't always that whimsical once Mother Nature’s harsh elements come into play. A relief station is therefore a cute yet necessary addition to the wedding day checklist – here are a couple of relief options you might want to consider:
- Fans are always a hit during summertime – whether it’s stylish lace fans, oriental bamboo or simple paper folded fans.
- Always have hand sanitiser and wet wipes close at hand for guests to freshen up with before digging into platters of finger food.
- If you’re tying the knot out in the veld, a bug spray station is highly recommended.
- Few things can ruin a good time like a headache or sore throat from all the talking, so have a couple of remedies at hand.
- Set up a station with suntan lotion so guests won’t get burned in the harsh African sunlight.
- Give each guest a spray bottle filled with water and lavender or cucumber to cool themselves with a light fragrant mist.
- Tissues are an absolute must, not just to relieve guests of tears of joy but also to wipe away sniffles and sweat beads.
- There’s nothing worse than dry cracked hands and the elements will do that to you! So have handy little moisturizer dispensers in the bathrooms for guests to freshen up with.
- In winter time, make sure you have blankets and even scarves or pashminas for guests to warm themselves with.
