For many couples, an outdoor wedding sounds ideal. If you marry in the summer, outdoors can be a better and cooler environment than some indoor reception and ceremony locations. Even air conditioning can not overpower the heat on really hot summer days the way that cool, natural breezes from the outside can. If you want to marry outdoors, you do have to worry about both the heat of direct sun, and also the possibility that it may rain. You can not watch the weather and then pick your day, so think about wedding tent rentals to help you avoid a washout.
The great thing about wedding tent rentals is that they keep out the rain, but they also keep out the sun. They can not really keep the heat out, but they can provide enough shade so that even a very hot day is bearable for your guests. These are also a great idea even if the day is sunny and mild, as everyone likes to have the choice to stay in the shade, and if you have electronic equipment, this is protected from random raindrops that may not have been foreseen by the weatherperson in your area.
The first consideration that you have when thinking about your wedding tent rental is what size you are going to need, and how many rental tents you want. There are very large ones out there that will hold a big wedding comfortably, but perhaps two smaller ones would be better for your situation. Some come with flaps that can be put down if there are high winds or heavy rains, but they are not always useful during large storms. However, they can cut down on some problems, so ask if the size that you need can come with these flaps. Some automatically do, and others are more for shade than anything else.
Most wedding tents come in white, which is ideal for keeping it cool underneath. White reflects all light, while black will pull all light into it. Therefore, white will reflect the heat away as well. You may very well find that white is your only option anyway, though there are some other colors that are not made for weddings necessarily, but can be used as such if you want something other than white for your wedding tent rental. Some have high tops and some are lower, so ask what your options are for this when you are choosing your color and type.
There are a few things you must keep in mind with wedding tent rental units. They often have strong cords that come with them to keep the secure. These can be tripping hazards so you have to find a way to make them more visible. This can be done with balloons or other wedding decorations. Tents of a larger size can also be very hard to put up correctly, so you may have to have someone do it for you, which can raise the price of your tent rental for your wedding. However, remember that having it safe and secure for a price is much better than it falling in on your guests on your wedding day.
