A summer wedding can mean sunny skies overhead and warm breezes during an outdoor ceremony. However, it can also mean hot and sticky guests when Mother Nature really cranks up the heat—so treat everyone to something cold and sweet at your reception. We’ve rounded up all kinds of frozen refreshments that are just right for keeping you and your guests from getting too hot.
1. Ice Cream Floats
What’s better that a root beer float? An orange cream float! 🍨 Vanilla ice cream + orange soda = heaven. And yes, that’s Suzie Q’s Mint kitchenware. 😘 #suzieqretro #orangecream #icecreamfloat #orangecreamsicle #orangecreamsoda #mint #kitchenware #retro #kitchentools #retrostyle #kitchenlife #kitchenfun #desserts #retrolove #yummy #mondayfunday #homemade #icecreamspade #bottleopener
