Bugs aren't just crashing the party; they're also the uninvited guests at your outdoor wedding. Mosquitoes, in particular, are the worst offenders, and they love outdoor weddings almost as much as you do.
Sawyer to the Rescue
Sawyer Products, a well-known brand in the bug repellent market, has partnered with Wedding Chicks to bring you expert advice on how to keep your guests carefree and in the moment. Like a wine pairing, but for bugs and venues, Sawyer has created a list of recommended repellents for various outdoor wedding settings. From destination weddings in Tulum or Cabo to vineyard weddings at golden hour, Sawyer has got you covered.
Destination Weddings in Tulum or Cabo
For beachside weddings in tropical destinations, Sawyer recommends using their 4 oz Slim Continuous Picaridin Spray. This compact spray is perfect for welcome bags, ensuring that your guests can enjoy beachside cocktails and late-night dancing without becoming mosquito bait. It's the behind-the-scenes detail that no one notices, but everyone appreciates.
Vineyard Weddings at Golden Hour
Golden hour is magical, and mosquitoes seem to agree. To style a bug-free celebration, Sawyer suggests using their 32 oz Picaridin Lotion Pump Bottle on a welcome table, bar, or guest book display alongside candles and florals. Guests can apply throughout the evening without disrupting the aesthetic.
Backyard Garden or Tented Weddings
For backyard weddings or tented events, Sawyer recommends using their Permethrin Gear and Fabric Treatment. Before guests arrive, spray the Permethrin gear and fabric treatment on the tent to create a bug-free celebration. It's a detail that no one notices, but everyone appreciates.
