"It&amp;#x27;s been a while since I shared a pic from my wedding&amp;amp;#8212;which was all outdoors&amp;amp;#8212;so there you go. A girl can pretty much get dressed for a summer wedding on autopilot: Throw on a dress and heels and you&amp;#x27;re almost ready to go&amp;amp;#8212;without questioning whether you&amp;#x27;ll freeze to death in chiffon, or whether bare legs are ridiculous when there&amp;#x27;s snow in the forecast. (I ALWAYS choose suffering over wearing nylons!) But don&amp;#x27;t dash out the door without tossing these seven essentials in your clutch&amp;amp;#8212;especially if you&amp;#x27;re the bride. 1. DEODORANT Yes, you applied post-shower, but that first application doesn&amp;#x27;t stand a chance if the ceremony or cocktail hour is outdoors. A travel-size stick will fit nicely in your bag. 2. SUNSCREEN Same as above: Your earlier application won&amp;#x27;t protect you from the bride&amp;#x27;s walk down the aisle through the last dance&amp;amp;#8212;especially if the ceremony has you sitting through early afternoon rays. Put some sunscreen wipes (like these) into a ziplock plastic bag ahead of time, and give yourself a pre-ceremony wipe-down. (Don&amp;#x27;t forget your ears and neck!) 3. WATER A thoughtful bride and groom will probably remember to have pre-ceremony water on hand on a scorching day, but don&amp;#x27;t take your chances. Nothing kills a champagne buzz faster than passing out from dehydration. Even if the ceremony&amp;#x27;s indoors, remember: Those charming old churches aren&amp;#x27;t always air-conditioned. 4. SUNGLASSES Extra-important if part of the wedding is happening by water (whether it&amp;#x27;s the ocean or a pool), which will reflect the sun directly into your eyes. 5. INSECT REPELLENT Nearby bodies of water will pretty much guarantee some uninvited guests: mosquitoes. Of course you don&amp;#x27;t want to smell like a campground, so save the mosquito wipes (like these) till after the bugs start biting. 6. HEEL COVERS Your pretty heels don&amp;#x27;t stand a chance against wooden decks, gravel, grass, or sand. Protect your shoes, and prevent any potential face-plants, with a pair of Solemates, which are little plastic covers that slide over the bottoms of your heels and keep you from sinking&amp;amp;#8212;or getting stuck. {SO done that! } 7. A WRAP Depending on where the wedding&amp;#x27;s located, a scorching-hot day might turn to a freezing cold evening when the sun sets. A pretty wrap will look SO much better with your dress than your boyfriend&amp;#x27;s bulky suit jacket. What other essentials do you like to have on hand for summer weddings? Did I forget anything? Lots of brides might have most of the above in the bathroom basket, but I like to bring my own, just to be safe."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
