If you know us, you know we love an outdoor wedding! But you know who else likes outdoor weddings? Mosquitoes…and bugs in general, but we can probably all agree that mosquitoes are the worst of them! But we wouldn’t leave you hanging there. We partnered with Sawyer to do a deep dive into bug repellents, and we decided to do a pairing of sorts. Like a wine pairing, but for bugs and venues…😂 So scroll to find your outdoor venue and your perfect repellent to keep your guests carefree and in the moment.
Destination Wedding in Tulum or Cabo
The best welcome bag essential isn’t another hangover kit. It’s bug protection your guests will actually use. Place a 4 oz Picaridin spray in every welcome bag so everyone can enjoy beachside cocktails and late-night dancing without becoming mosquito bait.
Vineyard Wedding at Golden Hour
Golden hour is magical… so are the mosquitoes. Style a 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 Wedding
Before guests arrive, spray the Permethrin gear and fabric treatment on the tent, to help create a bug-free celebration. It’s the behind-the-scenes detail no one notices, but everyone appreciates.
Lakefront Wedding
Lakes make for incredible views, but mosquitoes love them too. Set out a few bottles of Picaridin lotion near the ceremony entrance or reception bar so guests can enjoy the scenery instead of swatting bugs.
National Park Elopement
Compact enough to toss in a backpack and perfect for hiking to your ceremony location. Keeps the focus on the vows, not the mosquitoes.
Summer Ranch Wedding
Open fields and warm evenings are beautiful, but biting flies can quickly become uninvited guests. Keep a few bottles available near the bar or lounge areas.
