The outdoor wedding and event season is here. Spring, green fields, gardens with string lights, spectacular sunset photos... and unforgiving sunshine. 🌞
If you've received that dreaded letter containing the invitation to the barbecue, don't worry, this year you're going to learn the best tricks to prepare well and shine brighter than the sun.
Here's a practical (and realistic) guide to enjoying a comfortable outdoor wedding without ending up red as a tomato.
HOW TO SURVIVE AN OUTDOOR WEDDING
1. The best summer outfits for guests
Avoid heavy fabrics and dark colors. Light tones like beige, sky blue, or light gray reflect the sun and keep you cooler. Linen or cotton are your best allies: breathable, lightweight, and perfect for spring weddings.
Extra tip: If you can, bring a spare shirt. After cocktails in the sun, a dry shirt can really lift your spirits.
2. Sunglasses: style and functionality
Don't underestimate what a good pair of sunglasses can do for you. Besides being a stylish accessory, good sunglasses protect your eyes and help you feel more comfortable.
Look for ones that fit your face well and protect you from looking slanted in photos.
3. The head also needs protection (even if it doesn't seem like it)
One of the most common mistakes at outdoor weddings is forgetting that the scalp needs special care. Direct sunlight for hours can cause anything from redness to burns.
There are invisible sunscreens designed specifically for bald men . They don't leave a shine, they don't stain clothes, and they help maintain a polished appearance throughout the event. If you're going to be in the sun during a ceremony or cocktail hour, this small detail can make all the difference.
4. Extra hydration for dry skin
Personal care is also part of style. Keeping your skin hydrated and protected needs to be part of your routine, especially for sunny events. At Beardburys Essentials, we have the extra boost your dry skin needs to look its best for hours:
In short, stop hiding from the sun, but do take care of yourself (literally). With the right choices, you can spend the whole day outdoors without losing your style… or ending up peeling like a chameleon.
